The intense energy between Helena and Sebastian created a wall that no outsider could breach.
Xavier was no exception.
Even though he was officially her boyfriend.
Standing before them, Xavier felt like the intruder.
And Sebastian's aggressive interrogation earlier had left him entirely on edge.
He had a sinking feeling something bad was about to happen.
But he couldn't put his finger on what.
All he could do was stand there, frozen in place.
Instead of arguing, Sebastian simply stared at her after hearing her retort.
"Am I really that terrible?" he asked her.
"Yes," she replied without an ounce of hesitation.
But even as the word left her lips, a moment of silence fell between them.
Was Sebastian terrible?
Yes.
But truthfully, during their five years of marriage, he hadn't treated her all that badly.
The worst of it had been the emotional neglect and manipulation.
And, of course, the absolute nightmare that unfolded after Janetta returned.
Sometimes she wondered if Janetta had never come back...
Maybe she and Sebastian would have just carried on with their lukewarm, mediocre marriage.
But there were no "ifs" in life.
She steadied herself.
Sebastian was still watching her.
After a long pause, he finally spoke. "Then I suppose I'm meddling where I don't belong."
His tone instantly went completely flat.
She stood her ground, saying nothing, feeling increasingly defensive under his gaze.
He didn't say another word to her.
Instead, his eyes shifted to Xavier.
The Zane family had buried Xavier's dirty laundry deep.
Very few outsiders knew the truth.
Combined with Xavier's desperate protection of Jocelyn, the whole affair was a closely guarded secret.
