And he didn’t appear to be lying. 

His hands were clenched into fists. 

The veins in his forehead were throbbing. 

His face had gone red with rage. 

Kira groped for a response. ‘Could there be a…a misunderstanding?‘ 

“I saw it with my own eyes!‘ Liam shouted. ‘They were the only two people in the room. The door was locked from the inside. Tell me, how could there be a misunderstanding?” 

His eyes were red–rimmed. 

“I know I’m not a good person, but neither is anyone else with the McCarthy name! Wickedness is a family trait, Kira. Austyn is the

Men like Austyn have seen enough not to be fooled by it. He’s a businessman, for heaven’s sake! He doesn’t cross the street without doing a cost–benefit analysis first. Are you telling me he rushed headlong into a marriage with a reason as flimsy as love?‘
