MICHAEL’S POV
After chasing Anaiah to the forest, I found her screaming in the middle of the forest. I could understand her frustration but I didn’t want her to end up putting all her attention on Max. I didn't want his arrival to disturb the progress that I had already made with her. That was the reason why I could look after her after she took off running. I knew that what had just happened was too much for her, but I was glad that she didn’t have anything that she could hold against me. As far as I was concerned, Max was still behind in this race for her attention. He wasn’t going to with this and his presence here was not going to make this easier for him in any way. I was going to make sure that she never forgave him for lying to her, even if it meant that I would always use the fact
