Ava's POV
I couldn’t stay here anymore. But the truth was, I didn’t even know where to go. Maybe I was acting irrational or harsh, but what choice did I have?
The secret Liam had kept from me wasn’t some small thing I could just shrug off. It wasn’t just the fact that he was the heir to the most influential family in the world—that wasn’t even the main issue. It was that he had known me from before, and he’d never thought to tell me.
Frustration simmered inside me, directed not only at Liam but also at my father—and at myself for not remembering. How had Liam ended up coming into my life right when he did? So many things didn’t add up. And sadly, they seemed to know everything but never planned to tell me.
It stung, knowing that the two men who mattered most had kept me in the dark.
