His Accidental Mrs
I stepped through the side door, my flashlight catching a scatter of oil drums and old rigging ropes.
And there she was.
Amelia.
Sitting cross-legged on an upturned crate, phone in hand, purse slung at her feet. Her hair was pulled back too tight, a neat braid like she thought being tidy would save her.
“Adrian,” she called, voice echoing. “Brave of you to come yourself.”
I stepped closer, careful not to show the disgust crawling under my ribs. “Brave of you to think you’re worth the effort.”
She laughed — short, sharp, like glass shattering. “You know, I didn’t want this. I really didn’t. But you made it so easy. Always so busy protecting your perfect Eliana, your precious legacy.”
