Evelin's POV
I froze, his words hitting like a slap. Before I could respond, he barreled on. "And throw in that Grace's your friend. Say you were worried about her, so you asked me to watch out for her."
I stared, stunned. "Grey, you got no shame? You really gonna stand there and say that with a straight face?"
My mind flashed back to the moment when gunfire erupted, and he shoved me aside. I turned to see him shielding Grace instead. The betrayal cut deep.
Three years of marriage, and I'd thought, even without love, there'd be some loyalty, some scrap of respect.
But that moment showed me the truth: when it mattered, he'd drop me like I was nothing.
"Grace's finally a co-pilot," Grey said, like it excused everything. "A scandal like this could tank her career, kill any shot at moving up."
I almost laughed. 'What a saint. Always looking out for Grace!'
