Listen closely, Gabriella, if you dare, and I repeat, if you dare challenge me, I'll bury you without a hint of remorse. So take heed, baby sis, because I'm not playing games. If we're finished here, I'll take my leave now. See you never, I hope," she threatens, rising from her seat. But just as she's about to walk away, I halt her.
• "I won't rest until I turn your worst nightmares into reality, Elle. Maybe I never thought about it before, but right now, I'm seriously contemplating bringing you down so you can understand what it feels like to be in my shoes," I declare before rising and exiting the scene, leaving her visibly stunned and infuriated.

I think you misunderstood what I meant when I said I haven't been in a relationship for the past three years. I didn't mean I haven't been involved with anyone during that time; I simply meant I haven't had a committed relationship," he explained.
