Chapter 21 

RILEY 

“Do you love her, Riley?” She asked me without looking at me, and I knew the answer right away. 

“I don‘t,” I answered coldly, not really liking this conversation at all. 

“Liar.” She hissed at me.

“I told you I don‘t lie.”

“Then tell me about her.” She tilted her body in my direction, her eyebrow raised as she mocked me with her eyes. 

“There‘s nothing to tell. She‘s part of the past, Nadia. Let it go.”

“I want to know everything about her.” 

“What‘s the point? She‘s gone.”

“I want to know everything about her! Don‘t make me say that again.” 

“What the fuck for? I don‘t ask you about your past. Or anyone in your life. So can we just move on...” 

“Because I have nothing to tell you! I never had a man in my life! Oh, I have! I forgot! Let me tell you about him! This man saw me when I was 17 and he was forty–five years old! And he decided he wanted me as his mate! That evil man would visit me every time he could, and he would look at me like he was undressing me every single time!”

“Stop, Nadia…” My voice came out desperate. 

This was exactly the reason why I didn‘t want her to find out who Andrea was. The evil man in her story was me in Andrea‘s. And telling her what I did to Andrea would only remind her of her own life. I didn‘t want her to end up loathing me. And I never wanted t o be accepted by anyone as much as I wanted Nadia to accept me.

“My uncle would force me to hug him, and I would do my best every time not to vomit or pass out whenever I had to because I hated him. I despised the way he smelled and how his skin felt on my skin…”

“Stop!” My grip on the steering wheel tightened. It was getting harder to control the car. I just wanted to grab her and hug her to make her stop talking.
