Chapter 1226
Maja and Emmery had been each other's first love since their teenage years. They'd been through so much together that they were like family-love and kinship all wrapped up into one. There was no way she'd let anyone hurt her beloved, her "family," without seeking justice.
In Emmery's eyes, Maja was the one he trusted and cared for the most. With all his half-brothers and the chaos of the Nettleton family, further complicated by his mother's influence, Maja was his refuge.
Maja once said, "When I first got with him, it was to stand up for you. They all looked down on us Martins, like we were nothing. I wanted to show them that with me around, no one could push us around. But you know, when someone cherishes a girl for so long, she can really fall in love. Once she does, her heart's his forever. Without him, all that's left is pain. Annie, have you forgotten how heartbroken you were?"
"But I moved on. I've fallen for Conner now," Annie tried to shake her sister from her stubbornness.
The man eavesdropping in the car felt like he'd been hit with a sledgehammer.
His assistant turned back, eyeing the boss in the backseat, "Wow, boss, Ms. Annie really does love you. We thought you were just talking big."
"Keep quiet if you want to live!"
Conner watched the sisters through the car window.
Maja burst into laughter like she'd heard the funniest joke, "Oh, you love him, huh? How much? Would you really give up everything for Conner, even being a cop?"
"I would," Annie replied, her voice steady.noveldrama
Annie wouldn't waver in declaring her love for Conner to her sister-she saw it as the only way to get Maja to back off.
Maja was furious. She couldn't stand the thought of her sister, whom she adored, giving up her passion for some guy. Her anger flared, "Then go ahead and resign!"
As Annie turned to do just that, a familiar voice called out, "Annie, what are you thinking?" The Martin sisters turned to see a man striding towards them.
Conner had shown up, standing in
front of Annie, stopping her from el
resigning, "I've been a good man for you, but I never asked you to give up who you are for me."
"Conner..." Annie whispered his name softly.
Conner looked down at her and said, "Since you're a cop, I've got to watch what I say and respect your rules. But if you weren't, I wouldn't want to be the good guy anymore. So, for everyone's sake, you need to keep me in line. Don't let anyone provoke you into making a foolish decision. Not just anyone can be a cop. Your sister's just jealous because she can't."
The Martin sisters exchanged a look.
Seeing Conner, Maja's anger grew stronger. She wished she could just end him right there, but this was Annie's workplace, and any rash actions could impact her sister's future.
She bit her tongue.
"Conner, long time no see," Maja said.
Conner turned to her with a cold smile, "Long time no see. If you hadn't up and vanished, I'd be calling you sis right about now."
"I'm not letting you marry my sister."
Conner replied, "Too bad, because we're definitely tying the knot, and it's going to
be one heck of a celebration!"
