053 | Two Mates?

Ethan’s POV

Things were about to get… weird.

I’d thought this would work. I’d thought Selene would stay in Berlin. It didn’t matter what I’d said to Aria when I’d tried to placate her; I wanted to believe her, but she was hell bent on thinking Selene was behind every bad thing that had happened to her. It had been easy to get caught up in her delusions when she’d looked so fragile, so scared, but the truth was that as soon as I’d been back on my own, I’d realised how crazy it was to think that Selene would lie about being in Berlin to antagonise a sweet, innocent doctor she’d never met.

Selene had her faults, but they were always logical. I could understand why she worked so hard to keep up appearances; she was a wealthy heiress with a lifetime of expectations weighing heavy on her shoulders.

What Aria believed held no logic. There was no way Selene was lurking in Midnight City, twiddling her moustache after orchestrating a car crash. It was impossible.

I had to focus on reality.
