Lilia's body began to shiver. She couldn't wrap her mind around what was happening. She hadn't planned on meeting him this way—not like this, not after everything. Her thoughts were in chaos, too much for her to process.
The recording.
The truth.
Everything.
It was all too much for her little brain to handle.
Why had Zethan kept such a thing from her? And why was she dying? What else was he hiding? It seemed there was a lot she didn't know about this husband of hers. Maybe the parts she thought she knew were nothing compared to what was buried deep beneath the surface.
She shook her head slowly, whispering in disbelief, "Wow… and here I thought there was something real between us."
Her voice cracked. The tears wouldn't stop.
Then she turned slightly and muttered, "Please…"
But the words didn't come. Nothing came. She didn't even know what she was doing anymore. She didn't even know why she was begging.
