'She doesn't need to remind me. I had known from the start that Eve didn't have feelings for me.'

Alaric clenched his jaw tightly, his gray orbs blazing with rage.

Alaric stood up and left without looking back. He needed to distance himself from Thalia to avoid committing a sin. He still had hope that his marriage with Eve would still work out. He wanted to try and give their relationship a chance to flourish.

Meanwhile, Thalia's face darkened in both annoyance and embarrassment the moment Alaric walked away. He just made her feel like she wasn't desirable enough for him to be tempted.
