Page 83 of Cameron's Contract
Mia stared down at the page. “What if I make the same mistake as her?”
“You won’t.”
“I need to know why you both didn’t work out.”
Taking a steadying breath, I stared down at her. Mia reached for my hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.
“One evening, late at work, I became sick,” I said. “Nothing serious. Just the flu. But I felt like hell and decided to call it a day. You know, take my own advice. Zie wouldn’t have known I was coming home early.”
“Did you find her with someone?”
“She wasn’t home.”
“Where was she?”
“Chrysalis.”
“How did you find her there?”
“Her masquerade mask was missing from the closet.”
“So you knew?”
“I found her in the Harrington Suite.” I dropped my gaze, hoping to conceal how even now it affected me.
Mia’s eyes widened. “You saw her with someone?”
“You could say that.”
Mia blinked her understanding. “Not just one man?”
“As though I wouldn’t find out.”
“What’d you do?”
“Called off our engagement. Then banned the doms who’d fucked her.”
“How can you go in there again?”
“Scars keep us focused.”
“We need to replace that memory, Cameron.”
I offered a kind smile. “Have something in mind?”
“As a matter of fact, yes.”
“Mia, we’re going to have to put Chrysalis behind us.”
“Let’s make our final visit memorable.”
I brushed a stray hair out of her eyes. “Are you suggesting a public fucking, Ms. Lauren?”
Her teeth scraped her lower lip and her gaze rose to meet mine.
“In the Harrington Suite?” I said.
She beamed. “Go out with a bang!”
