🚢 A New Love After the Cruise

Ever since Larry returned from the cruise ship, something inside him had changed. He couldn’t stop thinking about Jade. The moments they had shared during the trip kept replaying in his mind: her smile, their conversations, and the time they had spent together. What began as an attraction had grown into feelings Larry could no longer ignore.

He started looking for reasons to spend more time with Jade. He called her, checked on her, and hoped every conversation would bring them closer. Jade noticed that Larry was acting differently, but she didn’t realize just how serious his feelings had become.

There was one major complication, however: Purnell. Purnell also cared deeply about Jade and hoped to build a future with her. Larry knew it, and the thought of Purnell standing between them filled him with jealousy. Whenever he saw the two of them talking, his mood changed.

😡 Larry Becomes Jealous of Purnell

One afternoon, Larry sat alone in his room, thinking about Jade. He wondered why Purnell was still getting close to her when Larry was ready to offer her a life together. He told himself that Jade deserved happiness, but deep down, he couldn’t accept the possibility that she might choose someone else.

Larry picked up his phone and looked at their recent messages. A smile crossed his face, but it quickly faded when Purnell came to mind again.

He decided that he would finally tell Jade exactly how he felt. He didn’t want to keep watching Purnell grow closer to the woman he had begun to imagine as his future wife.

💍 Larry Makes a Marriage Proposal

Later that day, Jade came to Larry’s room. He welcomed her and invited her to sit beside him on the bed. At first, they talked casually. Jade seemed comfortable, while Larry struggled to find the right moment to bring up what was on his mind.

Finally, he looked into her eyes and took a deep breath.

Jade smiled slightly and asked what he meant. Larry gently held her hand and made his feelings clear.

Jade was stunned. She had not expected Larry to make such a serious proposal. After a brief silence, she looked at him and asked the question he least wanted to hear.

🔥 Larry Loses His Temper

The moment Larry heard Purnell’s name, his expression changed. He pulled his hand away and stood up, clearly frustrated.

Jade tried to stay calm. She explained that she wasn’t trying to hurt him and that Purnell’s feelings mattered too. She didn’t want anyone to get hurt because of their situation.

Larry began pacing around the room. In his mind, Purnell was the only obstacle between him and the future he wanted. His jealousy was making it difficult for him to think clearly.

Jade warned him that anger would not solve anything, but Larry was no longer listening to reason.

📱 Larry Makes a Shocking Phone Call

A few moments later, Larry walked over to the bed and picked up his smartphone. Jade watched him, unsure what he was planning. He unlocked the phone, made a call, and held it to his ear. His voice was cold and furious when someone answered.

Jade’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She stared at Larry in disbelief and immediately demanded an explanation.

Larry ended the call and put his phone down. Jade stood up, frightened and angry. She told him that Purnell did not deserve to be threatened simply because two people had feelings for the same woman.

Larry insisted that Jade didn’t understand how much he loved her. He said he couldn’t bear the thought of another man taking her away. But Jade saw something very different: a man allowing jealousy to turn his feelings into a threat.

💔 Jade Begins to Question Larry’s Love

For the first time, Jade felt truly uncomfortable around Larry. The man who had been speaking sweetly to her only minutes earlier now seemed like a stranger. She had never imagined that his feelings could become so intense that he would consider putting Purnell’s life in danger.

Larry fell silent for a moment. He had not considered that his actions might push Jade even farther away. Still, his jealousy remained strong, and he struggled to accept that Jade could make her own choice.

Jade made her position clear: love could not be forced, and marriage had to be built on trust and respect. Threats and fear would never make her choose him.

🚨 Purnell Could Be in Serious Danger

Meanwhile, Purnell had no idea what had happened inside Larry’s room. He was going about his day, unaware of the frightening phone call. Jade knew she could not keep the situation to herself. She worried that Larry might actually take things too far, and she felt she needed to warn Purnell.

But she also knew that confronting Larry again could make the situation worse. She had to decide what to do before anyone got hurt.

Larry, meanwhile, still believed that Jade would eventually choose him. He thought that removing Purnell from the picture would somehow bring them together. He failed to understand that his actions were destroying the trust he hoped to build.
