“You should go.”

Barney’s voice was cold, cutting Angela off before she could speak. His mind was in chaos, tangled with anger and grief, and he had no desire to hear anything more.

Yet, out of a lingering sense of responsibility-both from the promises he had made to Angela and for the pain she had suffered because of him and Solara Energy-he proposed a form of compensation.

“I’ll provide you and Pete with a sum of money. Leave the country. Your parents are reaching retirement age. Solara Energy will ensure all proper procedures for their pensions in Jayelle City. Of course, if you want, you can take them with you.”

Angela froze. Slowly, comprehension sank in. He was sending her away. 1

She couldn’t stay in Goldmont City, couldn’t stay in Jayelle City, and now… not even the rest of the country offered her refuge. 1

All she had sacrificed… was it all for nothing? Another cruel joke?

Because of Khloe, she had already lost her family… and now, because of Khloe, even her last hope of happiness was being ripped away.

Why… why Khloe again?

“Barney…

… you said you would take care of me! You said we would start over, that you wouldn’t care about my past, that we could take it slow! You said not all men in this world are like Trey!”

Her voice cracked, hysteria rising like a tide she could no longer hold back. Angela’s accusations lashed out like flames, scorching the space between them.

Barney, however, remained unnervingly calm, as though he had anticipated this storm of emotion. Only after she had vented did he speak, his tone cold and final, “I’m sorry.”

No explanation followed. To her, those were the only words he could offer.

Angela’s heart felt ripped open, blood gushing from the invisible wound. She noticed the fruit knife on the nearby table. In a flash, she lunged for it, raising it to her own neck.

But Barney’s reflexes were faster. With one strong motion, he seized the knife, yanking it from her grasp in seconds and tossing it aside.

“Are you insane? Not this again!”

“Yes! I am insane! Since you’re all going to hurt me anyway, wouldn’t it be better if I were dead?”

The struggle between them was fierce Barney finally pinned her arms, pressing her down onto the sofa with controlled force.

“Then why? If you knew I couldn’t afford to lose, why did you provoke me? Why give me hope only to throw me into the abyss? Why pretend to care, only to crush my heart?!”

“Angela-”

Barney hadn’t expected her to be this unhinged. Her strength paled in comparison to his, yet her desperate, frenzied resistance was terrifying.

“You don’t even understand how much I’ve suffered! You have no idea how I feel for you! You’re not afraid I’ll die-you’re just afraid I’ll become your problem! Barney, you have no conscience!”

Her voice was a raw roar. Tears streamed freely down her face. The gentle, familiar Angela was gone- replaced by someone broken, consumed by rage and grief.

Barney flinched at her intensity. Acting on impulse, he cupped her face and kissed her.
