Chapter 57: Cooperation in the Shadows

“Even if you marry him, I won’t let go… A secret affair… that’s the most thrilling kind of

love, isn’t it?”

I shuddered, trying to push away the memory of his desperate face in the hospital

parking lot. The possessiveness in his eyes had been disturbing, almost unhinged.

No matter how I tried to focus on other things, his declaration kept resurfacing,

making me restless and uneasy.

The slap I’d delivered to his face had been satisfying in the moment, but now I

wondered if it had only inflamed his obsession further:

I stared out the window of my apartment, watching raindrops trace patterns down

silver dagger, my jealousy quickly transformed into righteous fury. My amber eyes flashed with anger.

“Where did you pick up such a deranged admirer? How can she be so crazy?”

Connor beckoned me closer with a gentle gesture. Obediently, I moved to sit next to
