The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Stanley’s tall, imposing frame blocked Wendy’s path, pressing her between the wall and his chest as he sneered, “Wendy, did you do that on purpose?”

Wendy pushed against him, her delicate hands barely making an impact. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“Stop playing dumb.” Stanley’s piercing eyes darkened with irritation. “You purposely pushed me toward Trish!”

He had figured it out! He had known all along that she was using him as a pawn, stirring up trouble between Jessica and Trish.

He had never imagined she could so casually shove him toward another woman, forcing him into a three–minute kiss with someone else.

Wendy stopped pretending. Her clear, innocent eyes met his as she said, “Mr. Hawk, Trish fancies you.”

“And that’s her problem,” Stanley shot back, uninterested. “Why does it concern me?”

There were countless women interested in him–did he have to answer to every single one?

Wendy fell silent, realizing he wasn’t interested in Trish. Jessica still held his affection.

“Mr. Hawk,” she said, “why are you so upset? Jessica and Trish both have feelings for you. That’s a sign of your charm! Let go of me!”

Stanley didn’t budge. Instead, his voice dropped to a low, dangerous whisper. “Did what I told you that night? Why are you still tangled up with Nathan?”

A mocking smile tugged at his lips.

“Wendy, you just want to use Nathan to get under my skin and grab my attention, don’t you?”

What was he saying? How could he be so arrogant?

“Mr. Hawk, ‘you’re imagining things. I don’t love you anymore!”

This was the second time she had told him this.

Stanley’s lips curled in a cold smirk as he reached up, his long fingers brushing lightly across her delicate face, his touch teasing and intimate. His voice was softer now, almost a whisper, carrying that magnetic tone that made her heart race.

“You really don’t love me anymore? I guess you’ve forgotten how I kissed you senseless that night at the family estate.”

That man was a master of flirting. Wendy’s face turned a mix of red and white as she remembered everything about that night–how he kissed her with his eyes wide open, how he mocked her when she was lost in the kiss.

He had the nerve to bring it up again!

Stanley grabbed her chin, his eyes filled with mischief as he looked down at her. “Let’s see if you really don’t love me anymore.”

Without warning, he leaned in to kiss her lips.

Wendy felt like Stanley, that arrogant jerk, was certain she still had feelings for him. He thought he could just bully her into showing affection.

She wasn’t about to let him win. In a swift move, she bent her knee and shoved it into his

groin.

Stanley wasn’t expecting it. He gasped in pain, clutching his stomach.

Wendy stepped back, taking advantage of his stunned state. “Mr. Hawk, I hope you understand now that I don’t love you anymore!”

She didn’t look back as she walked away, leaving Stanley standing there, his face unreadable.

Wendy returned to the lavish booth, where Jessica and Trish were already seated again. The Truth or Dare round was clearly over, and she couldn’t just let them fight over Stanley any

longer.

Stanley had returned to his spot as well, his face clouded with an unapproachable air.

Wendy avoided his gaze, acting as though nothing had happened.

The third round of the game started. This time, the beer bottle’s neck pointed toward Benny, while the bottom of the bottle pointed at Nathan.

Benny rubbed his hands together excitedly. “Finally, my turn! Nathan, it’s your turn for a dare. Just like Trish, I want you to pick one of the ladies here and kiss them for three minutes.”
