-Maya’s POV-

The silence was almost dealening as the three of us stared at him. Ivan spoke up first, his voice laced with a cold edge I’d rarely heard before. “What is he doing here?” he asked, his eyes narrowed at Alex.

Miranda’s smile didn’t falter. “Why don’t we go and find out?” she suggested, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She sauntered towards him, her hips swaying with a confidence I could only dream of “Fiancé,” she called out loudly, “what are you doing here?”

Alex didn’t even glance at her. His eyes remained fixed on me, his gaze piercing through me like a knife. I felt a shiver run down my spine as the memory of our last encounter – the kiss–came rushing back. I tugged on Ivan’s arm, trying to pull him away. “Let’s just go,” I whispered
