CHAPTER 71: Torn Between Trust and Jealousy

  Christian's POV

  I drove faster than I should have, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I sped through the streets. My heart was pounding, my mind racing with all kinds of thoughts. Why the hell was she with Michael?

  I could still see them sitting in that café, talking like old friends. The image burned into my mind and drove me mad with jealousy.

  I slammed my foot on the brake at a red light, trying to catch my breath. What was going on?

  Why would Hannah lie to me? She told me she was meeting Aubrey, but I saw her with Michael. The same Michael who hurt her, the guy she swore was in her past.

  It didn't make sense. She wasn't the kind of person to hide things or go behind my back, and yet, there she was, with him. I clenched my jaw, my thoughts spiraling out of control.

  Every rational part of me told me to calm down, that there had to be a good explanation. But the jealousy had already sunk in deep, twisting in my chest, making me feel like I couldn't breathe.
