Liam’s voice crackled through the speaker, raw and desperate, a far cry from his usual composed self. "Chloe, I know it's you. Please... can you come out and meet me? I have so much I need to tell you."
Xavier’s obsidian eyes remained fixed on Chloe, searching for even a flicker of hesitation. Chloe stared back, her mind racing. It was clear now—Liam knew. He knew she had married the "Demon CEO."
But what could have possibly unraveled the legendary Liam Martin? Why was he begging for a meeting in the middle of the night?
Xavier didn't let her retreat. He held the phone steady between them, his gaze like a physical weight, forcing her to confront the ghost of her past.
"Chloe, talk to me. I know you’re listening," Liam pleaded again. "Please, just one meeting. I have so much to say."
