Chapter 18\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kirsten delivered her warning, each word sharp with threat\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey drew a deep, weary breath. Arguing with her was pointless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKirsten, give us a moment,\u201d he said, his voice low. \u201cLet me talk to her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angela, who had been silent until now, gave Kirsten\u2019s hand a faint squeeze and turned her face away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Understanding, Kirsten reluctantly stood and left the room closing the door behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally alone, Trey loosened his tie and sat beside Angela. He reached for her arm, but she shoved him away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, Honey, let it go, alright? I\u2019m so exhausted lately!\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angela remained silent, but after a moment, her shoulders began to shake softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey knew she was crying again. His chest ached, a sharp, piercing guilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry. This is all my fault.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her tightly no matter how she tried to pull away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company is a disaster. Deals are falling apart, the losses are piling up, and my family is at each other\u2019s throats. I\u2019ve been completely overwhelmed I haven\u2019t had he energy to be there for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for Khloe\u2026 there is nothing between us. She threw a fit and disrupted work. I was just managing the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u03a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
His explanation seemed to slowly calm her. Angela stopped resisting and sat quietly in his embrace as he\u00a0<\/p>\n
continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, Khloe still has her uses. If she gets suspicious, it ruins everything. Is your faith in me really that weak?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trey sighed, bitterness threading his low, weary voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you\u2026 I\u2019m just scared,\u201d she whispered, her voice hoarse from tears. \u201cAfter all these years, what if you\u2019ve changed? I only worry because\u2026 you\u2019ve spent two years working side\u2013by\u2013side with her every day. How could I not?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gently, Trey turned her to face hi utterly broken.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The scent of alcohol clung to her, her cheeks streaked with tears\u2013she looked\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the woman who had once carried him on her back for three days and nights through a blizzard. The strong, resilient girl who had saved his life now seemed so fragile in his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he was six, he\u2019d gotten separated from his group during a winter camp in the mountains. As a deadly snowstorm raged and the cold threatened to claim him, a warm voice whispered in his ear, begging him not to fall asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That voice stayed with him for three long days and nights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He later learned it was Angela who had found him and carried him to safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy life is yours,\u201d he vowed. \u201cI promised I would repay you forever, that I would never waver. If I break that promise, I-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, Angela pressed her fingers to his lips, stopping him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her face was flushed, her eyes glistening as she leaned into his shoulder. \u201cDon\u2019t say such terrible things. I believe you. It\u2019s just\u2026 sometimes my thoughts spiral. After all, you see Khloe every day\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey managed a soft chuckle and pinched her cheek lightly. \u2018Silly girl. Some connections are forged in an instant and last a lifetime. And other people are just passing through. No matter how long you know them, fate will never truly tie you together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The memory of that mountain\u2013his real first meeting with her always filled him with a profound sense of duty. From childhood until now, no one, not even his parents, had ever made him feel that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For that single moment of salvation, he was willing to give her everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angela was his everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Khloe\u2026 she was remarkable in her own way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At times, he wavered. At times, he wasn\u2019t sure if it was guil or something else stirring in his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Trey knew one truth: none of it mattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stayed with Angela until she finally calmed. By the time they returned home, it was already two in the morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
