Secret Love Ended Before His Wedding Chapter 05
At that furious shout, I instinctively turned toward the voice.
It was Nolan’s college roommate and his company’s biggest rival, Hayes Whitlock.
He looked like a man possessed.
He shoved past the security guards holding him back and strode straight toward Nolan.
Grabbing Nolan by the collar, he said through gritted teeth, “You said you loved her. You said you’d protect
her. This is your love? This is your protection?”
Nolan’s expression changed. He shoved him away.
“Hayes, are you out of your mind? This is none of your business.
“None of my business?”
Hayes’s dark, furious gaze swept over me, sending an involuntary shiver down my spine.
“Back then, you told me to stay away from her. You told me…”
“Hayes! Shut the hell up!”
Nolan hissed through clenched teeth.
“What is going on here? What the hell is this?”
Mr. Mercer was the first to react, his voice sharp with anger.
My mother also looked at me in confusion. “Sienna, is what he just said true?”
“Are you… Nolan’s girlfriend?”
“No!” Before I could speak, Brielle panicked and clung tightly to Nolan’s arm. “I’m Nolan’s girlfriend. I’m the
one who’s always been with him.”
Nolan met her pleading eyes.
Then he looked at me, standing not far away.
A trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes. His lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
From the moment I decided to give him up, I had stopped expecting him to have my back.
I no longer expected him to choose me without hesitation.
I smiled and walked toward Hayes.
In front of everyone, I slipped my arm through his.
“Brielle is right. She is Nolan’s girlfriend. And I…”
“I’m Hayes’s girlfriend.”
Then I turned to my mother, who was frozen in place, and looked at her with guilt.
“Mom, I’m sorry. Hayes and I had a massive fight right before I came home, which is why I told you he died.
But as you can see… he’s very much alive.”
Nolan stared at my hand on Hayes’s arm, his eyes bloodshot.
“Sienna, do you even know what you’re saying?”
