Anya, stung by his “married man” comment, forced herself to scramble up, struggling to maintain dignity.

Elian watched her coldly, then turned to leave.

Jeft, seeing Anya’s difficulty, couldn’t hold back. When He noticed Elian walking away, he blurted. “Elian. you’re just leaving? She got hurt protecting Theo!”

“Jett. I’m fine. Elian’s busy. Elian, go handle your work. Don’t worry about me,” Anya said.

Elian gave a curt nod and walked out.

Seeing him actually leave crushed Anya.

She’d craved him staying, caring for her with the same herce protectiveness he’d shown when he went back for Liana

Ta went wrong?

Hed proposed to her.

Hed seemed happy when she returned.

Linna was just a two-year fling. A bastard child.

TII bring him back’ Jem said, seeing her tears, and made to follow.

Xander grabbed his shoulder his grip firm. “Let it go.”

Xander, how can he leave her like this? She sacrificed Herself for Theo!”

“Mind your place,” Xander reminded him sharply.

Jett fell silent, his face flushed with anger and something else.

Xander noted his defiant expression, and the earlier scene where Jett had rushed to catch Anya, only to be subdy rebuffed.

If he could see it, how could Elian miss it?

“Xander’s right. You’re overstepping. And show Liana some respect. The divorce isn’t final. She’s still Mrs. Locke,” Anya added, her tone patient but her eyes sending Jett a warning.

“Mrs. Locke? She doesn’t deserve the title! Jett scoffed.

“And you do? Elian chose her. He’s never said a word a gunst her Who are you no?”

Xander’s words rang with authority, stunning both Jett and Anya

Had Xander been swayed by Liana too?

Or-

“Xander, are you misunderstanding something?” Anya entured, studying his face.

No misunderstanding. If you’re smart, you’ll tread carefully from now on.”

With that, Xander left.

Jett frowned, hands on his hips. What did he mean by hat?”

Anya shot him a warning glance about being overhear but once he closed the door, her hands clenched the sheets.

Soon after, Jett was called away by his family.

When Anya’s mother, Helena Hale, arrived. she passed fett in the hall and gave him a sharp, appraising look. Entering the room, she asked. “Has that guy been here all day?”

“Mom. Jett’s like a younger brother.”

“Different last names don’t make siblings. Gossip spreads. How will you marry Elian then?” Helena shot back.

Anya fell silent, then said, “I just needed someone to talk to.”

“Talk to Elian! You have his son. Use that!” Helena hisse, urging her to leverage her advantage.

“Something’s changed. He’s… avoiding me.”

Anya twisted her hands.

She’d thought falling down the stairs would elicit his care, but last night he’d just checked on her, then spent the night in Theo’s room next door.

“That bitch must be whispering in his ear again. I’ll go deal with her today.”

“Dad’s birthday is in a few days. I wanna invite her.” Ana’s sudden suggestion made Helena stare.
