That old snake, Camille! That was where the real problem lay. She had really done it this time, dragging that plain, arrogant girl into his life. A contract wife! It was an insult. A f*****g trick to stop me from getting what I deserved.
And the nerve of her, locking Killian and Nova in that room at the villa all night! I knew what she was doing. She was trying to force a connection, trying to make Killian see Nova as something more than a glorified receipt.
When Killian got home this morning, he'd looked tired, stressed, and even more shut off than usual. I knew it wasn't because of me; it was because of Nova. She was a piece of grit in the smooth machine of his life, and he didn't know how to spit her out.
I love Killian. I've loved him since we were kids. He was my rock after
