Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 813

Chapter 813

In the three days and nights spent on Saltland Island, she experienced moments that would etch into her memory forever, unforgettable and haunting.

Yet, she had resolved to bury that chapter of her life deep within, aware that even if she were to reveal it, to tell him about the child she bore with his brother, it would change nothing between them... "Parker-what on earth are you talking about?" Tiana's voice was laced with bitterness, as she threw him a feigned look of disbelief.

Parker gazed at her, noticing how her lips were a perfect contrast against her pale complexion, his heart swelling with an unexplained sweetness, nearly causing him to slam the brakes in distraction. Damn, why was he fantasizing about Tiana in such a manner?! The vividness of his thoughts startled him.

Since she had denied it all.

He awkwardly ceased the stream of images in his mind, "You-just take it as me talking nonsense! I don't even know what I'm rambling about, how could I... I mean, I'm engaged."

"Exactly," Tiana's heart felt as if it had been struck, forcing a smile as she looked down, "You're engaged. And it wouldn't matter what I did with any other man, it certainly wouldn't involve you. My daughter with your brother is already over two years old." A cold bucket of reality drenched Parker from head to toe, waking him up from his stupor.

He had harbored a confusing affection for Tiana, always overlooking one critical fact: she had been 'tainted' by Barclay, had borne a child.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his lips pressed into a thin line of cold disapproval.

"There's no need to keep reminding me of what happened with my brother! Tiana, I really don't get you. Do you enjoy being mistreated, wanting to marry Barclay?"

Tiana's fingers clenched, offended by his words and tone, a cold laugh escaping her, "What if I do? What business is it of yours?"

"Right, it's none of my business. We have nothing to do with each other!"
