Claire's POV Margaret said Lucius was showing weakness to me? What a joke. That wasn't weakness, that was a straight-up insult. I stood in the kitchen, gripping the edge of the counter until my knuckles turned white. The suitcase beside me felt like my only ally in this house of lies. He had the nerve to accuse me of cheating when I'd done absolutely nothing wrong. Meanwhile, his relationship with Evelyn was so obviously more than "just friends." That diamond ring on her finger said it all. And he didn't even try to explain. His silence was all the confirmation I needed. One minute he's shopping for wedding rings with Evelyn, and the next he's acting like he doesn't want our divorce? What game was he playing? Did he expect me to be his public human wife while keeping Evely
