I no longer lingered to eavesdrop after hearing Selene’s words. That revelation alone was enough to leave me reeling for days. All my suspicions about Logan had been answered, but I hadn’t anticipated this.

Liam. I remembered him vividly–a slender, cheerful man who radiated a boy–next–door charm. He had been nothing but kind. It was tragic enough that he died so young, but knowing that he left this world betrayed by the two people closest to him–his wife and his best friend–was unbearable.

I finally understood why Logan had been so devastated and guilt–ridden after Liam’s death. He was the reason for it.

It also explained why Liam’s parents had treated Selene so poorly after his passing and refused to acknowledge her child. They likely believed the baby wasn’t even Liam’s.

When I first discovered Logan’s infidelity, I didn’t feel much anger–just disappointment. But now, my chest burned with fury. Logan wasn’t just a cheater; he was a pathetic coward whose actions had cost his best friend his life.

Sensing my inner turmoil, Nora led me back to her office so I could calm down. I sat down in silence, staring blankly at the floor.

Although Liam and I had never been particularly close, I could feel the weight of his despair. I could imagine the suffocation he must have felt in his final moments–the betrayal and heartbreak that must have consumed him.

“Logan is unforgivable,” Nora said, her voice trembling with anger.

I nodded faintly. “Now that Selene has blamed everything on him, he has no choice but to keep making amends. He owes her that much. But Selene isn’t innocent either–Logan wouldn’t have pursued her if she hadn’t encouraged it.”

“It takes two to tango,” Nora agreed, her tone bitter. “But she’s acting like it’s all Logan’s fault. And don’t forget–she’s willing to end Liam’s bloodline just so she can marry into the Mercer family. She’s evil to the core!”
