Daniel’s POV I haven’t stepped out of my office all day after the drama with Annabel. Every reason to be furious with her burned in my chest, maybe for stepping on my ego, for hitting me in front of everyone. But no. I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I had pushed her too hard. It was written in her eyes. The words I hurled at her still taste bitter on my tongue. An ache gnawed at me, urging me to call and beg her forgiveness.. Besides, she doesn’t owe me any explanation. I shouldn’t be this angry. But why should it be Lucian? I guess I underestimated him. And she had to send me her location — for what exactly? Now I feel deceived. Dumb, maybe. I just hate that I’m getting myself worked up over this. I was never the type to get jealous easily. How do I explain this? I want her,
