Chapter 167

• Nathan's POV
• I stared at the ceiling, my arms folded beneath my head, the silence in the room so loud it nearly drove me mad. No matter how many times I blinked or breathed, I couldn’t shake off the image of Claire's face from earlier — the hurt, the disbelief, the disgust. She didn’t even give me the chance to speak. Not a word. Just turned and walked out of that hotel room like I wasn’t worth a damn thing to her.
• Because of Vanessa.
