"I don't think what happens to me is any of your business."

"I know you hate me. I know I've wronged you too. I'll try my best to make it up to you in the future."

"Make it up to me?" Dustin scoffed, "Oh, Dahlia, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think I actually care?"

"Then what do you care about? Or perhaps, is there anything you need help on?" she asked tentatively.

"Sorry. I don't need anything. I just need you to get far away from me," Dustin responded.

"Do you hate me that much?" Dahlia frowned. She felt an inexplicable stabbing pain in her chest.

"Yeah. You played me like a dog. Am I supposed to put on a pitiful dog act to please you?" Dustin mocked.

"I'm sorry …" Dahlia took in a deep breath, but, in the end, she could only lower her head.
