"Fine!" Emily shrieked, her rage finally boiling over. "I do love Cameron! So what? And I didn't lie—everything I said was the truth! If you hadn't shown up, Cameron would be my boyfriend right now. It’s because of you that he looks right through me. So I’m right! You’re a homewrecker, and you stole someone else’s man!"

"Enough!" Cameron roared. He looked at Emily with a gaze so cold it could draw blood. "Don't you dare say you love me. It makes me feel sick. From the very beginning, I’ve only ever seen you as Ivy’s cousin. I haven't the slightest bit of interest in you. Even if Elsie had never existed, I would never have fallen for you. Understand? So stop with your self-righteous 'what ifs.' I didn't like you then, I don't like you now, and I will never like you in the future."

The sheer brutality of his words stung Emily into a frenzy. "That’s impossible! If you could fall for my cousin, why couldn't you fall for me? We’re so much alike—our looks, our mannerisms. You loved her once, so you’re bound to love me!"

Elsie let out a harsh, dry laugh. "The audacity you have. You and Ivy are worlds apart. You might look similar and share a style, but Ivy’s grace comes from within. You’re just a cheap imitation. You’re making a fool of yourself trying to mimic her, and frankly, I’m embarrassed for you."

"Shut your mouth!" Emily snapped. "What gives you the right to talk to me like that? Don't think for a second that being with Cameron makes you special. If he could dump my cousin, he’ll dump you one day too. I believe that if I’m just given enough time, Cameron will realize he loves me."

"He won't," Cameron stated flatly.

Emily stared at him with wide, crazed eyes. "You will. You’ll definitely love me."

Cameron took a deep breath and raised a hand as if taking an oath. "I, Cameron, swear to God—if I ever fall for you, Emily, I hope to be struck dead by lightning."
