"You have been prohibited by Madam Bennett from entering the Bennett's mansion. Please leave, Miss Marsden."
"I'm here for Spencer. Can you please reach out to him?"
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm not go...going to leave until I see him, Mr." She tried to sound stern.
"Fine. I'll give him a call. You stay here and make sure you don't take a step in, okay?"
Bree nodded. In less than five minutes, she saw Spencer running in her direction and closed the distance between them. His hands fell on her shoulders gently and looked her over from head down to her toes in concern.
"What's wrong, baby? Why are you here all of a sudden? Come this way." He held her tiny wrist and led her outside the mansion's enormous gates.
"I'd no idea you'd show up. Are you hurt? Did your mother hit you again?" He asked, his eyes scanning her body for any trace of injury.
"Let's break up."
"What?"
"Didn't you hear me? I said, "Let's break up."
He chuckled.
"Come on, you know how cute you look when you're angry. I love that pout but put it down. I know you're angry that I didn't text before going to bed yesterday but you see, Mother had me occupied with her work. I'm sorry, okay? Give me a smile." He stepped forward but she backed away.
"I'm not angry because of that."
"Then why, hmm? I'm ready to drop to my knees and apologize a thousand times if that will make you smile."
"Stop saying those words. I just want to break up. I'm fed up with this relationship and I don't want to do this anymore. I've been holding back from saying this for the past weeks but I no longer can. We're incompatible. We..we should go our separate ways."
"What do you mean we're incompatible? We've been dating for years."
Seeing how serious she looked, Spencer frowned.
"Wh...what are you saying? It's me, Bree. It's your Spence. What the hell are you talking about? Look at me, baby. Tell me, did your mother put you to this? Or my mother? Was it my mother?"
She shook her head avoiding eye contact with him. Her eyes were fixated on his chest only.
"Then why? If it's about my mum or our families, we can elope. We'll go far away from this place and no one will be able to reach us. We made a plan already, Bree." He grasped her arms tightly and continued, desperately. "We're going to elope and get married. We'll get married and start a family. That sounds great, right? Just the both of us and our babies in our home.
I told you I'll leave everything for you. Everything. This mansion, the company, my family, Everything. Just say yes and we'll leave. We're in love, Bree."
She broke away from him abruptly, shoving him away so strongly that he staggered back and nearly toppled over. He looked at her as if she was taking his soul away with so much hurt in his heart. He heard his heart shattering into pieces at the words that followed.
"Stop being stupid, Spencer. Stop acting like a child and grow up for once. No, I don't love you, I don't love you at all. I can never love someone like you." She breathed heavily. "You're speaking about eloping to a faraway place, probably a small town, and starting a family. Have you thought of how we're going to survive when we don't even have a job or money?"
