FORBIDDEN AFFECTION
Aiden’s POV
Kailin studied me for a long moment, his gaze steady, almost too steady.
“If you knew all this,” he asked finally, “then why did you wait until now?”
I let out a slow breath, leaning back in my chair. The answer had always been there. I just never bothered to say it out loud.
“Because I didn’t care,” I said. Not enough to fight it.
He frowned slightly. So I went on.
“For a long time, marriage was just… another arrangement. Another decision made on my behalf that I didn’t bother to question.” I shrugged. “Elena, someone else—it wouldn’t have mattered. I was taking whatever came my way without complaints because it was easier that way.”
