The Rejected True Heiress (Liora and Callum) novel Chapter 365

Liora’s POV

For a long time, I just stood there with the tray still in my hands. I couldn’t even bring myself to drop it. I was just frozen, my mouth hanging open, staring at Callum like an idiot while the murmurs of the students behind me turned into a distant echo beneath the sound of the blood rushing through my ears.

“How could you do this to me?” I bit out.

Callum looked at me sharply. “Excuse me?”

“We just had two dates, Callum. Two, with a promise of a third. And last night you kissed me—”
