He blinked, caught off guard. “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
Even so, he recited them smoothly. “When we become husband and wife, we are one in this life. Between you and me, there is no betrayal, no change of heart, and no deception.”
He hadn’t forgotten. For a fleeting second, I almost wondered if he still meant them.
Killian stepped closer, his lips brushing against my forehead in a soft kiss. His eyes, brimming with what seemed like love, locked onto mine. “Don’t worry, my wife. I will never betray you, let alone deceive you. This is my promise to you.”
His words lingered in the air, heavy with irony. Moments later, he disappeared into the bathroom, leaving me alone in the living room.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
I opened it, and standing on the other side was his assistant—Anastacia.
