Chapter 64

• Ronin tried to avoid looking at Carmen, but his eyes briefly lifted to catch the way her fingers tightened around the fork. She had been silent ever since he entered the room, and he couldn’t tell if it was her usual quiet nature or if his presence made her uncomfortable.
• Mentally, Ronin scoffed at the thought. Did she see him as some kind of monster? The irony wasn’t lost on him, considering how he felt like the one being tormented by her constant presence in his life.
• It wasn’t a lie though. Ever since she joined their company, his life had been thrown into chaos. She had a way of grasping someone’s attention, as if it was her right to do so. He despised it, especially since he already had Jenna in his life. Even though his unwarranted and absolutely unwanted attraction to her was only in his head, he felt angry and guilty and so damn frustrated because of it. She shouldn’t have any right to make him feel that way, and he had no damn right to feel anything for her when his own brother was so madly in love with her.
