"A female is not an object that can be casually tossed aside or manipulated. Since a contract has been established, there should be the respect and responsibility that comes with it. If you don't know how to cherish her and protect her, then naturally, someone else will step in."
Seraphina Caldwell was stunned, standing rooted to the spot.
She had deliberately laughed and talked all the way, even walking very close to Caspian Sterling, pretending to have a close relationship so that Gideon Larkin wouldn't become suspicious.
But why... did Caspian still see through it?
Did he see through the nominally existent relationship between her and Gideon?
Could it be that Caspian is really that perceptive?
Or was it that her acting wasn't natural enough?
Gideon's fingers had already clenched tightly.
He knew that Caspian was right.
He indeed had not treated Seraphina well.
From the first day the contract was made, he had never intended to be sincere.
