Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 817 I Don't Love You

Aria couldn't help but sneak a peek at Donovan, her smile all polished and perfect. "Hey Donovan, been hearing some juicy stuff lately. Any truth to it?" Donovan's face was a stone, back straight as a board. "You know it's all just talk."

Aria was a bit thrown by his bluntness, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face, but she kept it cool. "Just got back from overseas, so I'm kinda outta the loop. But I heard Raymond, right after his split, got cozy with his designer, who's actually his ex-wife. That for real?"

"Aria, if you're that curious, go ask Raymond yourself," Donovan shot back.

Aria kept her smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Sure thing, I'll catch up with Raymond. Oh, and remind him about my friend. They've been pen pals, and she's really into him. She hasn't heard from him in months and is kinda worried. I came back to check on things for her."

Donovan frowned, thinking, 'Who even writes letters these days?'

Raymond didn't seem like the type. He barely replied to texts, let alone write letters.

"Your friend, is she a guy or a girl?" Donovan asked.

"A girl, and she was in an online thing with Raymond. He used to be all about her, but now he's ghosting. Think he played her?"

"Raymond wouldn't write letters to anyone."
