Aiden's POV
I had to admit it—the spa had done wonders to Alexia.
She looked… wow.
Beautiful. Elegant, even. The kind of woman who could turn heads in any room she walked into. The gown hugged her in all the right places, and the way the soft waves in her hair framed her face—damn.
If not for Liz standing right beside me, I might have actually taken a moment to appreciate it.
But instead of admiring her, all I felt was irritation.
Not because she looked bad—because she didn't.
Not because she was **throwing herself at me in front of everyone—**because, honestly, if Liz weren't here, I might not have minded it.
No, I was irritated because Liz was watching.
Because I knew she was seeing all of this.
And I couldn't help but feel a deep, gnawing guilt in the pit of my stomach.
Liz had come back.
For me.
And what did she find? Me. Married.
To someone else.
