An Unbreakable Addiction novel Chapter 83

So, Zac had secretly arranged for private tutors to teach her everything, from music and arts to literature and martial skills.

In his eyes, she had always been exceptional. If she hadn’t met Hunter that fateful year, she would undoubtedly have been his wife. But sadly, fate had other plans.

Summer knew all about Mia’s tough childhood, so hearing her thank Zac didn’t come as a surprise. In fact, she often felt grateful that Zac had been there for Mia, giving her love and companionship over the years. And she was thankful for Mia, too. Her friendship had been a lifeline through the hardest times.

“I didn’t have any special talent,” Mia said with a soft smile. “You invested in those lessons, and I didn’t want to let you down or waste your money. So, I threw myself into learning.”

When she looked back, her time with Zac had been her only truly happy memories. If she hadn’t met Hunter back then, she might have been Zac’s wife, leading a happy life by his side. But reality was what it was and there were no “what ifs.”

“Alright, enough about the past. Let’s eat!” Summer noticed Mia’s slightly reddened eyes and quickly changed the subject.

Zac offered Mia a bowl of soup. “Have some soup.”

"Thanks, Zac." Mia smiled as she accepted it, fully aware of Zac’s feelings for her. But their moment had passed, and she knew they couldn’t go back.

Across the table, Hunter’s gaze darkened as he watched Mia, noticing the warmth in Zac’s eyes as he looked back at her. A prickling irritation stirred in his chest. She wasn’t even divorced from him yet, and here she was cozying up to someone else.

Meanwhile, Jenna glared at the bite mark on his lip, feeling a surge of anger toward Mia. The moment she had seen him go to the restroom after Mia, she had known it was Mia’s doing. That woman had actually tried seducing him right there!

The rest of the meal continued in silence, each person lost in their own thoughts.
