Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 Attic Prison

Ana's POV

I froze in the doorway, my chest burning with pain.

I'd known Ridley's actions toward Aileen meant something deeper, but witnessing it firsthand still hit me like a slap.

Aileen jumped up, eyes darting to me. "Ana, my blood sugar dropped and I got dizzy. Ridley just steadied me. Don't overthink this," she said quickly.

"It was only a hug. Nothing major happened."

"Ridley and I go way back as friends, so there's really no need to worry," she continued.

Ridley approached me, his gaze falling on what I was carrying. He reached for the items.

I jerked my hands away, avoiding his touch completely.

"Keep your hands off me," I said icily.

"I already explained. It was a misunderstanding. Stop blowing this up," Ridley replied, barely flinching at my anger.

My mouth twisted into a bitter smile. "No misunderstanding here. We're divorcing soon anyway, so who you hook up with isn't my problem."
