The Lie of Forever (Gianna and Ezra) novel Chapter 7

Back then, when Gianna had kissed Ezra's cheek in front of their friends without asking, he had been so angry that he ignored her for days. So, he was never the reserved man she thought he was.

It turned out he had only been cold as ice when he was with her. Gianna felt a wave of nausea rise in her throat. She quickly got up and walked toward the exit.

Just as she stepped outside, Ezra saw her. Startled, he shoved Maya away. It was only then that the others realized Gianna had been there all along. She had just stepped out the door when Maya ran after her, grabbing her by the shoulder.

"Gianna, it's not what you think—"

"Let go." Gianna frowned, not wanting to hear another word.

However, Maya refused to release her. Her grip only tightened.

"Say, if I were to slip and fall here, do you think your family would believe it was you who pushed me?"

The moment those words left her lips, Maya let out a dramatic scream and flung herself backward, crashing straight into the restaurant's glass wall. The shattering sound echoed through the air.

When the Ramsey family rushed over, they were met with a shocking sight. Maya lay sprawled amidst the broken glass. There was blood streaming from a gash on her forehead, and fresh wounds covering her body.

"Gianna, are you insane? Were you trying to kill her?" Gabriel screamed, pulling Maya into his arms.

Before Gianna could even speak, Christopher's hand swung violently across her face. "You wretched brat."

The force of the slap sent her tumbling to the ground. A sharp, metallic taste filled her mouth. She then spat out blood mixed with a broken tooth.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain herself. But when she looked up, all she saw were the faces of her family that were twisted with anger and disgust. Their eyes filled with hatred as if they wanted to tear her apart.

The words lodged in her throat. No matter what she said, it would never matter. Her own blood relatives would always believe an outsider over her.
