| kicked off my heels with more force than what was necessary. Flopping down on the edge of the massive bed, |
angrily ripped the glittering chandelier earrings from my ears and tossed them haphazardly aside.
My chest heaved with ragged breaths, my fingers trembling as | worked to take down the ornate updo that my
hair was in. But | fumbled, unable to work out the bobby pins. That da*ed image was too seared into my mind to
be able to focus on anything else.
Noah and Zoe, swaying together on the dance floor. Her head tilted towards his, her fingers trailing along the
nape of his neck. The way his broad palm had splayed across her lower back-
A mirthless laugh bubbled up from somewhere deep in my throat, the sound harsh and bitter in the stillness of
the bedroom. As if seeing them together wasn’t torture enough, I still had Noah's idiotic words echoing endlessly
on a loop in my mind.
“Shouldn’t you only be interested in sex when you're fertile?”

My fingers curled into fists around the duvet, my nails digging into my palms hard enough to sting. The
humiliation, the sheer indignity of it all made heat p***le along the back of my neck.
Is that what he had believed all this time? That | was nothing more than a broodmare to be utilized during an
ovulation window every month? All thanks to the words of smo***nic doctor?
| shuddered, swiping angrily at the dampness clinging to my lashes. Goddess, how | wished | could march right
down to the clinic and give that idiot doctor a piece of my mind.
Of course, that might have proven difficult-a quick glance at my phone confirmed that the doctor had recently
taken a leave of absence. My fingers tightened even harder into a fist, my teeth grinding.
How convenient. Disappearing right when | had a bone to pick with him.
Suddenly, a sharp rap at the door sentjolting upright, barely stifling a groan.
“Go away.” | called without glancing back over my shoulder. | didn’t want to see anyone right now, regardless of
whoever it was.
“Hannah,” Noah's voice rang out as the door creaked open despite my demand. “We need to talk.”
Grinding my teeth, | shot him a withering glare over ong shoulder. “Oh, so now you want to talk? Couldn't be
bothered earlier when you were too busy whirling your ex around the dance floor?”
Instantly, Noah's expression clouded over. | would have been satisfied that my words had hurt him, had I not
been so hurt myself.
“She just needed to discuss something,” he muttered, his voice clipped. “About Drake and the Luna Queen
“What, is that the excuse you're going with?” | scoffed, surging to my feet and rounding on him. “Don’t bother. |

minute? This isn’t what you think.”
“Oh, isn't it?” | folded my arms across my chest, my chin jutting out. Part ofdidn’t even care about Zoe at
that moment, if | was being honest. | only cared about the lies he had allowed himself to believe-the lies that had
not only hurtbut our marriage-all these years.
“Go on, then. Talk.” With a huff, | sat back down on the bed and crossed one leg over the other. “But I'll warn
you, if any portion of this involves more b***it pseudoscience about how | can only get aroused during my
ovulation-"
“Alright, alright,” Noah cutoff with a curt wave of his hand. “I know it was idiotic.”
He sighed, his shoulders slumping almost imperceptibly as he dragged his free hand over his face. For the
briefest moment, that egotistical mask of his slipped to reveal something that almost resembled regret. Just
seeing that sliver of humanity made my heart twist a little.
Look. I should not have blindly accepted the doctor's words,” he finally admitted, his gaze meeting mine once
more. “It seems he was... misinformed.”
