Once.
Now, Seth Sterling was the last person Fiona wished to see.
She tightened her grip on lan’s hand, turning away. Hurried footsteps closed in. Seth blocked her path.
“Fiona. I found you.”
His face, once the picture of arrogant confidence, was gaunt, etched with exhaustion.
His eyes drank her in her evident well-being bringing a painful mix of relief and sorrow.
“You left without a word,” he rasped, raw emotion thickening his voice. “Sentenced me without a hearing. Isn’t that unfair?”
“Unfair?”
A dormant fury surged. Fiona met his gaze. “Coming from you? That’s laughable.”
Seth flinched, the heat in her look searing. He lowered his eyes, shame palpable.
“The fault is mine. Mine for the IVF lie. Mine for thinking mere ‘responsibility’ could make it right. I know the depth of the wound now. I know you did nothing. I failed you. I failed to trust you.”
“I understand why you left. Just… give me a chance. Let me earn you back. I know you love children. We can have our own. I swear, Fiona, my
heart, my soul, every part of me will be yours-”
“I don’t need it anymore.”
Fiona cut in, her voice calm but final. “When I needed you most, I got lies. I’ve let go. Of you. Of children who were never mine.”
A strange clarity washed over her.
Setting aside the core betrayal, Seth hadn’t been cruel.
He’d dismantled her toxic birth family after learning of the drugging.
He’d given her security, luxury, the envy of society.
But the foundation was rotten. Deception.
And Eleanor’s arrival? A litany of distrust. The hundred slashes of pain across her face… that had severed the final thread.
“Seth, I don’t love you. We are strangers now. Leave me be. I’m building a new life. One without you.”
“I won’t accept that!”
Seth grabbed her wrist, agony twisting his features.
“I won’t let you vanish! I won’t give up-”
