Elijah immediately pushed the doubt aside. Impossible. Gloria was obsessed with him.
Making her stop loving him would hurt her more than death itself. This had to be another of her games—playing
hard to get.
His eyes hardened. Whatever she was planning, it wouldn't work. He'd never love her. Jenna was and would
