Nathaniel's glare hardened. The joy of his achievement and meeting with Augustine Bennet waned, replaced by fury. His hand curled into a fist, ready to strike again. But Liam's next words halted him for that moment.
"You pushed me away, too, despite knowing how crazy I was about her. I even took up fashion design just to be closer to her. And you…"
He let out a pained, sarcastic laugh. "You were supposed to be my friend. You should've supported me, helped me win her heart. Instead, you warned me to stay away from her. I couldn't believe it—you were willing to throw away our friendship just because I liked Zara. Tell me honestly, Nathaniel—were you already in love with her while you were still with Nora?"
Nathaniel's rage only grew at that question. "You are crossing the line," he growled in a threatening way.
"That's not an answer," Liam snapped back. "Be honest—did you have feelings for both sisters at the same time?"
