Chapter 42 Manipulated Mind

• Naomi's POV
• The faint, watery sunlight that greeted the morning did little to calm the chaos that was building within me. I held a mug of tea that had long ago gone cold as I sat by the window. Roman's kiss, the softness of his touch, and the startling finding of Camille's earrings in his study were all repeated in my memory from the previous evening.
• The earring wasn't merely a coincidence or an oversight. It was a warning—a stark reminder that Camille was still interfering in Roman's life, and possibly ours as well. My suspicions had already been sparked by her unexpected appearance at the dinnerl, but discovering her earring confirmed them into something more sinister and indisputable.
