My father doesn’t even blink.
“You appear to be under a very unfortunate misconception, son. I believe the title you’re looking for is wife.Mywife, to be precise.”
Chapter 40
Piper
My worst nightmare has come to life.
I always knew it would.
But knowing something and witnessing it are two entirely different things.
The hatred I saw in Hunter’s eyes earlier?
It was nothing.
Nothing compared to what’s there now.
Anger, malice, shock, hurt.
They’re all there, warring for dominance as his eyes move between his father and me.
And I understand every bit of it.
The guilt is eating me alive.
I know Hunter has a good relationship with his father.
Or at least as good a relationship as someone like Hunter is capable of having.
And I might have just destroyed it.
Might have destroyed him.
And myself in the process.
A tear rolls down my cheek at the finality of what this means.
I always knew this day would come.
I am a terrible human being, and I’m not saying that because I want sympathy.
I’m simply stating a fact.
I should have stayed away from him from the very beginning.
The first time?
When I gave him my virginity, I knew full well I was due to marry his father after that night.
I knew exactly what I was doing.
I just...
I just wanted to feel.
For so long, I thought there was something wrong with me.
