Do I love her?

For someone like Everett, emotions like love were trivial. He was a man driven by ambition, focusing solely on what he wanted.

And what he wanted was Selena as his wife. He craved the comfort she offered after a hectic day, the way she fit perfectly in his arms. Their connection was undeniable. Her soft moans and the adoring look in her eyes as she lay beneath him only boosted his ego. To put it simply, Selena was his prize.

But he knew all too well that women often sought reassurance about their partners' feelings, and Selena was no different in this regard.

Normally, he wouldn't bother with such a question. Yet, in the warmth of their current relationship, he didn't mind playing along. "Of course, I love you."

His deep voice wrapped around her like a warm blanket, and Selena felt tears welling up. She shut her eyes quickly, hoping he wouldn't notice.

She'd loved him for three years, doing everything in her power to win his heart, but it was never enough. Now, just as she was ready to move on, he said he loved her. She had asked, hoping for closure, never expecting this answer. Now, she was completely thrown off balance.

The heart she thought had grown cold was starting to stir again.
