Selene was stunned for seconds. Her breathing grew shallow, jagged —until the cold, sharp beeps of the disconnected call snapped her back to reality.
She had tried her best to deny what Olivia had told her.
She didn't want to believe that Aiden truly had someone in his life … that he had married another woman that wasn't her …
But now, with Aiden confirming it himself —so bluntly, so unapologetically —how could she deny it any longer?
"Arhhh!" she screamed, hurling her phone to the floor. Her voice is raw with rage.
The screen cracked instantly, its pieces shattering just like her pride.
Aiden might have spoken gently with her, but his words cut through her esteem deeply, making her feel humiliated.
How could he choose to side with someone that's not her?
How could he embarrass her for someone else?
"No!!" she screamed again, throwing whatever she could grab in her hand.
