Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 102

Victor froze, caught completely off guard by Isadora's words.

A shadow flickered across his eyes as he fell silent, saying nothing.

Isadora felt a chill run down her spine under the intensity of his sharp, striking gaze. She shifted uncomfortably, clearing her throat.

"That day, Magnus and I ended things for good," she explained, her voice a bit shaky. "So... what happened between us-it wasn't some affair. You weren't the other man."

Isadora wasn't the type to get involved with someone else while still tied to Magnus, even if her mind hadn't been clear that night.

Victor noticed the faint flush creeping up her cheeks, her eyes shining with embarrassment, and the way she fidgeted reminded him of a skittish fawn.

Suddenly, he broke the tension with a small, amused smile. "So what are you saying, Miss Vaughan? Are you asking me to take responsibility?"

Isadora's eyes widened in alarm.

That wasn't what she meant at all. She just wanted Victor to know she and Magnus were truly over-and that she wasn't someone who fooled around lightly. She didn't want him to think she was lying or playing games.

Before she could protest, Victor let out a casual hum. "If anyone needs to take responsibility, it's you. For me."

That left Isadora blinking in confusion, staring at him in disbelief.

With an easy motion, Victor reached out and gently pinched her earlobe-warm and delicate beneath his fingers.
