NADIA.
The drive from Katya’shouse to the packhouse would only take ten to twelve minutes, but it felt like I had been in her car for a long time already.
I didn’t know why I was so worried.
But then I found my answer.
We were threading the road towards the packhouse when I saw a car approaching from the right intersection. It was a big red SUV. I was never good at naming cars, but I definitely haven’t seen anyone around here driving this kind of car.
The car stopped as they let Katya drive and turned to the right, and I watched the car as we drove by until my gaze fell on the female sitting in the passenger seat, just in time as she slowly rolled her window up.
My heart shattered into thousand pieces as I closed my eyes and leaned my head on the headrest of the car seat.
I knew that face. I’ve been seeing her face everywhere since I saw that picture. She was older now, but her face remained the same.
She was beautiful.
Riley’s Andrea.
I opened my eyes just to blink back the tears that were tempting to fall and tried to pacify my broken heart.
Riley would tell me about this.
He definitely would.
He would tell me Andrea visited him, and he would tell me it meant nothing. I just have to calm down.
I have to trust Riley. He loves me.
I was still lost in my thoughts when the car came to a full halt.
“We’re here.” Katya’s voice brought me back to the present, and I saw my mate standing by the steps, already looking at us.
“Thank you, Katya. I’m sorry about…”
She reached for my hand, which was sitting on my thighs, and squeezed it gently. “No harm done, Luna. Just drop by anytime you want, or I can also visit you if I have nothing else to do. Then we can talk more about Zahra.”
I smiled at her as I nodded my head before unbuckling my seatbelt.
I slipped out of the car, flashing my mate a warm smile before turning around to say my goodbyes to Katya.
I watched as she drove off before I felt arms snaking around my body, enveloping me in a warm hug.
Relax, Nadia. Just stay calm.
“How was your day?” His deep baritone voice echoed in my ears.
“Boring.” I chuckled before turning around, coiling my arms around his neck, my gaze trying to catch his, but he was just looking at my chest. “It’s not that Katya is boring to be with, it’s just that she’s not you…”
“Hmmm… I thought you had forgotten about me.”
“Never. And how about you? How was your day? Anything special that happened today?”
Don’t cry if he starts talking about her.
“No. Spending the day with my men is fucking too boring. So…” He raised his gaze to stare at me, while his hand caressed my cheek. “I’m looking forward to spending the rest of the day with my female.”
“What’s the name of yourfemale?” I asked. I was controlling my eyes from rolling as I raised the wall on my emotions, blocking him.
