Chapter 185

I was still recovering from the rage I'd felt watching Navine show that kind of affection to Hailey.
The way he'd held her. The desperate way he'd kissed her. The forehead-to-forehead intimacy that spoke of feelings far deeper than professional concern.
It had made me bewildered. Had made my heart do strange things that I was actually scared of. Strange, painful contractions that felt like jealousy and loss and fury all mixed together.
I'd wanted to punch my brother. To pull him away from her. To claim what I thought—what I'd convinced myself—was mine.
But then Hailey had bitten Yvonne. Hard. Drawing blood and leaving that perfect mark on her shoulder.
And I'd been satisfied. Actually delighted watching that manipulative b***h get exactly what she deserved.
