After taking a deep breath, she ruminated for a moment before continuing, "When you were young, you met someone special, someone who held a place in your heart like no one else. However, due to various reasons, you had to give her up, and you realized that the two of you could never be together.
"The heartbreaking part is that you had to part ways, but you couldn't forget her. Hence, you were constantly torn between wanting to hold on to her and wanting to let her go. You wanted to cut all ties with her and disappear from her life, but you were also terrified of losing her.

What Jean did to manipulate him earlier that morning had already left a sour taste in his mouth Brad was a proud man. He couldn't tolerate being manipulated, especially not by Jean. He believed he had already been more than generous by not ordering his bodyguards to deal with her. Nadine couldn't believe her ears. This had to be a figment of her imagination— there was no way the arrogant man would ever give up on his beloved Jean. It was unthinkable! Yet, the feel of his hands on her shoulder and the familiar, earthy scent surrounding him were far too real. Everything about this moment was telling her that Brad meant every word he said.
