Kimi's entire body went rigid the moment she realized her heart was completely unprepared to face him again.
But then clarity struck her like lightning. She had done nothing wrong in their shared past. Every mistake, every moment of pain, every shattered dream belonged to him, not her.
So why should she flee like a coward?
She deserved to stand her ground and meet his gaze without flinching. She deserved to face him as an equal.
Drawing in a shaky breath, Kimi slowly pivoted to face the man who had destroyed her world.
Her hands curled into tight fists at her sides as she looked at him directly.
Kolton sat sprawled across the leather couch, his expression carved from ice. His eyes held the same cruel indifference that had haunted her nightmares for years.
When his gaze began its slow, deliberate journey from her face down to her body, Kimi felt her jaw clench painfully.
