Tyler had somehow snuck into the party, and before anyone could happening, he hurled a bottle of acid straight at Kristen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zachary didn\u2019t hesitate for even a second. He pulled Kristen into his arms and turned his back to shield her from the acid, taking the full hit himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn froze in place and could only watch as blood soaked through his gray suit jacket. His face went deathly pale from the pain, but he still wouldn\u2019t let go of Kristen. He kept murmuring to her, \u201cDon\u2019t be scared. I\u2019ve got you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn looked down to hide the emotion in her eyes and let out a bitter laugh. So he really would die for Kristen. He actually would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary didn\u2019t wake up until the next evening. The moment his eyes opened, the first thing out of his mouth was concern for Kristen. \u201cIs Kristen okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn had been at his bedside for over 24 hours straight, and she pressed him back down when he tried to throw off the covers and get up. Her voice came out hoarse. \u201cShe\u2019s fine. You protected her completely, but you\u2019re the one who got hurt bad. The doctor said the burns on your back are gonna leave deep scars.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That seemed to put Zachary\u2019s mind at ease. \u201cAs long as she\u2019s okay, I don\u2019t care if I\u2019m scarred for life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn\u2019s lashes trembled. Just how much did he love Kristen?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary finally looked at Autumn and noticed how exhausted she was. Guilt flickered across his face. \u201cAutumn, thank you for staying with me. You should go home and get some rest now. I\u2019ll have my assistant come sit with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn nodded and stood to leave, but a wave of dizziness hit her hard. She grabbed the edge of the hospital bed to keep from collapsing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary immediately reached out and caught her around the waist. Their eyes met, their faces close enough that their breaths mingled, and the air between them suddenly felt charged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sound of something hitting the floor broke the tension. They both turned to see Kristen standing in the doorway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bouquet she\u2019d been holding lay scattered on the ground, petals everywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes were red as she stared at them in disbelief, and her voice shook. \u201cAm I\u2026 interrupting\u00a0<\/p>\n

something?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary shoved Autumn away from him. \u201cYou\u2019ve got it wrong. It\u2019s not what you think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn didn\u2019t see the shove coming. She hit the floor hard, her head smacking against the ground, and everything spun as she collapsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kristen bit down on her lip until it bled and ran out of the room crying. \u201cKristen, let me explain!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary didn\u2019t even glance at Autumn lying on the floor. He pushed through the pain of his torn wounds and chased after Kristen without a second thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn lay there on the cold hospital floor and suddenly laughed. Right then, at that moment, she finally understood just how obvious the difference was between being loved and not being loved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d actually been naive enough to think she could warm up a heart that was already full of someone else. God, how stupid could she be?\u00a0<\/p>\n
A long time passed before Kristen walked back into the room in her heels, wearing a victor\u2019s smile. \u201cSo Autumn, you finally see how much Zachary loves me, right? You gave him three whole years of your life and he still can\u2019t forget me. If I were you, I would\u2019ve left a long time ago. How do you even have the nerve to hang around him anymore?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn used the wall to pull herself upright, and her voice came out steady. \u201cDid you look at the gift I gave you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGift?\u201d Kristen paused, then it clicked. \u201cYou mean that raggedy envelope?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn nodded. \u201cYou should take a look when you get a chance. There\u2019s something in there you\u2019ll want to see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop being so cryptic.\u201d Kristen let out a cold laugh. \u201cSince you won\u2019t leave on your own, let me show you who matters more to Zachary. You wanna bet? If both of us were in danger at the same time, he\u2019d only save me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something tightened in Autumn\u2019s chest. \u201cWhat are you planning to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
