Chapter 1679

Zera said, her tone softening, "I'm just speaking my mind. Aiken and I truly love each other. Honestly, I didn't even know about Wendy at first. It bothered me for a while when I found out, and I even thought about leaving your brother.

"I didn't want to be the third party in someone else's relationship. But sometimes, feelings can't be controlled. I wanted to leave, but I just couldn't control my emotions. We're both women, so I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from." Simona didn't buy it. "I'm not a man, and you don't need to be all sweet and delicate with me. What you're really reluctant to leave behind are the resources Aiken has given you, right? He can use money to give you opportunities today, and he can do the same for someone else tomorrow.
