Kaia froze for a second before realization dawned on her.
Last night, she and Simon had been moving furniture into the new house. What happened afterward had completely spiraled out of control. The mark on her neck was undoubtedly from the night before, when he had taken her.
Kaia didn't try to hide it. She looked at him with a composed indifference, a calmness that made his heart pound with panic.
"Mr. Sanders, we are on the clock. I don't believe I owe you a report on my personal life."
Finnian didn't release her wrist. In fact, her words only made him tighten his brutal grip.
He knew he had no right to ask. He had absolutely no authority over her anymore.
But he was completely possessed. Staring at the intimate mark on her skin, he couldn't control himself.
She used to be his.
Every inch of her used to belong solely to him.
He had always been so meticulously careful, never leaving any scandalous bruises on her skin.
"Kaia!" Finnian's eyes were bloodshot. "Have you truly made up your mind?"
Kaia frowned, her answer razor-sharp. "Of course. Did you honestly think I divorced you just to throw a tantrum?"
A dull, suffocating ache spread through Finnian's chest.
For a long time, he really had thought exactly that. He believed that because she couldn't secure his affection, the divorce was just her ultimate cry for attention.
Now, he realized just how insanely wrong he had been.
Where did he get the sheer arrogance to assume that just because she had loved him for years, she would wait for him forever?
"Does he treat you well? How well?" Finnian's mind was in pure chaos. He didn't even know why he was asking.
But he just had to know.
"Yes, he treats me wonderfully," Kaia replied, her voice steady but firm. "Finnian, let go."
He couldn't bear to release her.
Kaia forcefully yanked her arm back, breaking his grip.
