Chapter 28

JANE'S POV

Claudius looked up from his desktop computer when l opened his office door. A frown creased his forehead when he saw my tear stained face.

"What's wrong , Jane?," he asked in worry.

I had cried all the way to his office. Claudius got up from his seat and I rushed into his arms sobbing. He hugged me tightly stroking my hair.

"Ferracco declared a custody battle if l don't marry him again , " l choked out between sobs.

I felt him stiffen against me. He released me and held me at arm's length , regarding me with a suspicious glint in his eyes.

"Did you agree?," he asked me in a suspicious voice.

I pushed away his hands feeling offended.

"What do you think of me , Claudius? Do you not trust me?," l asked him feeling hurt.

He remained silent regarding my face. It felt like he was some detective interrogating a criminal. Pain ripped through me.

He didn't trust me! I felt hurt.

After a brief moment , his eyes softened and he gave me a sad smile.
