But there is no ignoring my heart fracturing into millions of pieces.
She thinks I don’t love her. I throw my phone against the wall and it shatters on the floor.
Cameron lies in one chair in the compound’s conference room, looking outside with a pensive expression ever since he talked to Aurora. In the other armchair sits Cato, blood splashing on the floor from his bleeding palm, and I wrap mine, cursing. Fucking blood oaths.
My eyes burn into Cato’s head, “I hope this time she kills you.”
“Kieran, man,” Cameron says in a placative tone that does nothing to calm me.
I drag a hand down my face and shout, “You ask me to sit through a meeting with the man who stole my wife from me and do nothing?”
“My sister said when she comes back, she’ll explain.”
“Oh, she will.”
I slam the door shut and leave to calm the fuck down before I end up killing them. It’s been over twenty-four hours since she left me. Since I’ve been catapulted straight to hell. I punch my desk, my knuckles split.
I call her repeatedly, but she doesn’t pick up.
Answer the phone.
Nope.
Aurora!!!
I call her, and she declines it.
Don’t make me mad, sweetheart.
You are mad with me or without me.
I need to tell you something.
The time to talk is over.
I call her again. She declines again.
I summon patience. I also realize my attitude toward her didn’t help either.
Did you fuck him, thinking of me?
Look how my wife calls back.
She yells at me, “You’re the most maddening, stupid man!”
“It worked to get you to call me, don’t hang up, please.”
She snickers at my please.
“Talk to me.”
“I wanted to talk to you badly, repeatedly, but you didn’t.” Emotions break through the strong façade and my chest cracks.
“I will listen now.”
“Oh, what an honor.” She sniffles.
“Why are you protecting a stranger like this?”
