Chapter 6 Chapter 6 "Linda told me EVERYTHING about that day! What my grandma wore, how much the hospital cost-five THOUSAND dollars! You know how she remembered? Because that's what you blew on ONE LUNCHP Sebastian's face was twisted with rage. "You've always looked down on us! Forced me to marry into YOUR family like some pathetic trophy husband! You don't GET IT!" He threw himself at me, hands going straight for my throat. "I gave up EVERYTHING to stay in this family! But Linda is OFF LIMITS! I won't let you hurt her!" His hand slammed over my mouth and nose. "I don't care WHO shows up-you're giving her that skin!" I couldn't breathe. He was actually trying to KILL me! I sank my teeth into his palm. He screamed and pulled back, but my whole body was locked in casts. I couldn't even crawl away. He lunged again. "I gave you my ENTIRE LIFE! This is the LEAST you owe me!" My vision blurred. Everything went dark around the edges. Then- BANG. BANG. BANG. "Miss Chase! Security! Open this door NOW!" All three of them went rigid. Carter shoved Gideon under the bed. Miles grabbed a towel and started scrubbing blood off the floor. "Lola! Oh thank God- I turned. Gideon sat beside me, head wrapped in bandages, looking like hell. But his eyes were shining. Something broke inside me. "Gideon... will you marry me?" He stared at me for half a second. Then he dropped to his knees and yanked a box out of his pocket. A ring Your dad told me you'd say yes, and I thought he was messing with me. That you'd laugh me out of the room." His voice shook. "But I came back anyway. So let ME ask-Lola Chase, will you marry me?" Tears poured down my face. I nodded. He slid the ring on. And for the first time in two lifetimes, I let him wrap his arms around me. After I stopped crying, Gideon told me what happened. When the medics burst in, Sebastian threw a tantrum. Claimed I'd signed off on everything. Even waved around a consent form with my forged signature. Chapter
