Chapter 287

• Third Person's POV
• "The luxury house, the driver, the nanny—was all of that a 'misunderstanding' too? Claiming that kid as your son—another mistake? Cassian, do you really think every wound Trista suffered every time you ran to that woman can just be wiped away by calling it a 'misunderstanding'?"
• Fred stared him down, relentless. "With all these 'misunderstandings' piling up, did you ever once stop for Trista's sake? Did someone have a gun to your head forcing you to do this? This isn't a mistake, Cassian. It was a choice you made willingly. Whether you admit it or not, you chose that woman and personally shoved away the mate who loved you most."
