Chapter 6 The Bribe

Annabel looked at Rupert in confusion.

"In case you have forgotten, you are engaged to me now.Marcel is a celebrity.Many eyes are on him.Behave yourself.I won't sit back and watch you dent the reputation of the Benton family,"

Rupert warned in a serious tone.

Only then did Annabel realize that Rupert thought she loved Marcel.

How did his mind go that far? "Also, I have to remind you that it'll be very difficult to marry into the Brooks family.After all, you are two years older than Marcel—"

"Enough!"

Annabel snapped.

"Our engagement is just one of convenience.You and I know that we won't end up together.That said, it's none of your business whom I date or want to marry.Don't tell me what to do!"

Rupert's face darkened.He wanted to retort, but he bit his tongue when he saw her glaring at him.

The rest of the ride was silent.

Annabel hadn't denied having feelings for Marcel.Since she had behaved so defensively, Rupert assumed that she acquiesced to his suspicion.

That annoyed him even more.

Rupert suffered from insomnia that night as usual.

Staying awake all night had been a thing for him since he was kidnapped and locked up in a dark room when he was thirteen years old.He usually had panic attacks about that scary experience.
