Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 399

The woman in his arms was soft and warm, yet she slipped through his fingers like dry sand, radiating an icy distance.

Quinn repeated herself, "Raymond, we're done."

A jolt went through him. He gripped her shoulders.

"No. I am not letting you go."

Quinn met his gaze. "You hid your identity. You played the role of a bodyguard to get close to me. That was a lie in itself, wasn't it?"

"I don't know if our time together was more lies or sincerity, but it doesn't matter anymore."

"Even if you were just using me to get the Moretti Group, it's fine."

Honestly, on the car ride over with his grandmother, she knew exactly what to expect. Florence's rage, Dante's screaming, the directors' judgmental stares—she had anticipated it all.

But she had decided that since this was what he wanted, she would help him one last time.

She gently broke free from his hold, her voice turning cold.

"Now that you've taken back the company and secured your seat as Chairman, shouldn't this marriage be over, too?"

Looking at her indifferent face, a sharp pain pierced his chest. He let out a low, ragged breath. "No, Quinn, it's not what you think!"

He had navigated the cutthroat corporate world for years, always composed and unflappable.

But right now, faced with her icy detachment, he was completely unmoored. Even his voice shook.

"Quinn, I admit hiding my identity was wrong."

"I also admit that coming back to Riverton was part of a plan to take control of the company."

"But I never used you. Not once. I married you because I genuinely fell in love with you."
