His forehead rested against the curve of her neck. When Micah spoke, his voice was thick and hoarse, drenched with something close to pleading.

“Don’t go,” he whispered. “Please don’t go. If you really don’t want to see me, I’ll leave. Zara can stay with you… or he can come.”

The last words tore through his chest like a blade. Every syllable seemed to scrape against his throat until the faint light in his eyes dimmed completely.

Oriana was still thinking about the missing bracelet.

Had she left it in the hotel?

Or… at the hospital?

Then his voice, raw and broken, hit her like a wave. She froze.

What had he just said?

Zara–she could understand.

But who the hell was “he?”

She frowned, puzzled. “Who do you mean by he?”

Micah took a deep breath, forcing the word out. “Grant.”

“What?”

Oriana stared at him in disbelief, as if thunder had cracked right above her head.

He, who was obsessively possessive and precise to the point of compulsion, wanted Grant to come here and keep her company? Had he lost his mind?

She pushed him away, reaching up to touch his forehead. “You’re not sick as hell. Then what nonsense are you talking about?”

Micah caught her hand, holding it tightly between his palms. His brows were drawn in pained restraint, his eyes dark and deep as the sea. “If it makes you happy, I’ll do anything. No matter what it is.”

Oriana fell silent.

That was the second time he had said something like that today.

What on earth was wrong with him? Why did he seem so afraid of losing her?

Then it hit her like lightning. Her eyes lifted sharply, locking on his.

“Micah, what happened last night while I was gone? Don’t you dare hide it from me.”

Her calm tone made him flinch. His tall frame seemed to stiffen from the inside out.

A few seconds passed before he finally spoke, his voice low and subdued. “Last night… Grant sent me a message.”

Oriana’s breath caught. She watched as Micah unlocked his phone, opened the message, and played it right in front of her.

Grant’s cold, mocking voice filled the room.

He was arrogant, taunting, dripping with superiority, boasting about her so–called devotion to him.

The bracelet. Of course. It had ended

up

with Grant.

That shameless man had used it as bait, flaunting it like proof, trying to provoke Micah.

No wonder Micah had acted so strangely. He had believed Grant’s manipulation, believed that she…

What a fool.

Oriana’s chest tightened until she could hardly breathe, the air thick and heavy like cotton. Her heart thudded painfully against the weight in her ribs.

She snatched the phone from Micah’s hand, fury trembling through her fingers. Without hesitation, she hit record and spat out through clenched teeth, “Grant, if you dare bother my

you off!” man again, I won’t let

She released the record button, hit send, and then swiftly blocked the number.

Her hands were still shaking when she lowered the phone. Anger flooded her so hard it made her breath uneven.

Micah stood frozen. Hearing her protective voice lit a spark somewhere deep in the darkness of his eyes.

He stared at her in shock, realization dawning, voice barely audible. “The bracelet… it wasn’t a gift to him.”

“It wasn’t!”

Oriana took a steadying breath, her gaze softening as she looked at him again.

The anger faded, replaced by something tender, almost aching.

“Micah, the platinum bracelet was mine. I picked that ruby myself. It was meant for us, a matching pair.”

Fearing Micah might not trust her, she grabbed his dry, calloused hand and pressed it against her wrist where her own bracelet gleamed faintly.

“See? Mine matches yours. We talked about buying something together, remember?”

Then something occurred to her. She quickly started unclasping her bracelet. “I didn’t expect to drop it at Grant’s place. He wanted it, so I just let him take it. I can buy another-”
