Chapter 457

• Third Person's POV
• "There was this one time Trista had a few too many," Elias began, his voice flat and clinical. "She broke down and told me something."
• He paused, letting the silence hang. "She said that when she first found out you were cheating, she tried everything to save the marriage. But your coldness... it made every effort she made look pathetic. She told me that the exact second she tried to use a suicide attempt to get you to look at her—and you didn't even blink—that was the moment she realized she had become total trash in your eyes."
