Lilith’s Pov

My heart was thudding violently the moment Killian asked me that question.

Have you and Nolan had sex?

I didn't know how to respond. I didn’t want to lie. But I didn’t want to say the truth either.

Was it really that obvious? Did I wear the guilt on my skin?

I hated this.

I hated that even after everything he did to me, even after all the hurt he carved into my soul, I still felt guilty.

Maybe because I was still married to him.

Maybe because deep down, I still cared.

Maybe… I hated myself for that too.

But what was I supposed to do?

Stand...
