Mia held her head, taking a moment to recover from the sudden, piercing headache.

Eventually, she lowered her hand and looked at the villa outside, sensing a strange familiarity.

She spoke meaningfully, “Mr. Barrett, if I’m not mistaken, this is the marital home you shared with your ex–wife, isn’t it?”

A subtle smile graced her lips, while her eyes emitted a charm that was both mature and captivating.

Timothy met Mia’s gaze, his throat tightening slightly. “You could say that.”
