Teresa swallowed, tightened her arm around Leo, and looked straight into my eyes.
“Because he’s talking about you like you’re something he bought.”
The words seemed so impossible that I almost laughed.
Instead, I followed her toward the partially open door.
Adrian’s familiar voice floated into the hallway, calm and impatient.
“I told you not to call me on my wedding day.”
I stopped beside the doorway, feeling ridiculous for eavesdropping on the man I trusted more than anyone.
Then he continued speaking.
“Everything changes after the wedding, and Elena won’t be able to push me out of her life whenever she feels like it.”
My hand went cold against the wall.
“Of course the estate is hers right now, but marriage gives me the perfect opportunity to change that.”
I stared at Teresa, hoping there was some innocent explanation I wasn’t understanding.
Adrian laughed softly.
