Just a Friend?

Anastasia opted to tell the half-truth again. She whispered in a shaken voice while looking down at her hands, "I had no choice but to come here."

Caspian felt a sharp prick in his heart after listening to that confession. She wasn't denying that she would have been loved by Eve.

But she further spoke while shedding her tears because the pain in her wrists was getting unbearable by now, "But I never saw Everard as anything more than a friend. Even if I hadn't come here, I would have never married him."

Caspian didn't hear Anastasia's heart skipping beats. He knew that this was also the truth. And he knew those tears were real.

What he hadn't realized yet was that she was crying because of him.

Caspian felt bad for blatantly accusing his wife of having some hidden agenda. He left his grip on Anastasia’s wrist and hugged her tightly. He closed his eyes and apologized, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted your intention.”
