Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 51

He leaned in as he spoke, his hand pressed suggestively against the pillar right beside her head.

From a distance, they looked almost intimate—close enough that someone might think they’d kiss at any moment.

“Back off. I have a husband, you know!”

“Husband? Please.” Aaron’s voice dripped with disdain. “Word is, you married some old cripple. How could he ever compare to me?”

“Even if he’s got money, he’s nowhere near as wealthy as my family!”

“Anastasia, I’m giving you one last chance. Stop being difficult. Apologize, and I might just forgive you.”

Not far away, hidden in the shadows, Harrison’s wheelchair sat motionless and silent.

Behind him, Logan barely dared to breathe.

Aaron’s voice carried, just loud enough to be overheard from where they stood.

“So I’m just an old cripple, huh?” Harrison finally broke the silence, his voice deep and unreadable.

“Then tell me—why do you think she married me?”

Logan stiffened. There was no way he’d risk answering that.

“Are they…close?” Harrison asked, his gaze fixed on the two figures, their intimacy undeniable.

Logan stared at the ground, his voice barely above a whisper, “A while ago, Ms. Penelope Sterling visited Rosewood Manor. She mentioned that Mrs. Lancaster had someone she cared about. If I’m not mistaken… she meant Mr. Aaron Lancaster.”

Harrison’s grip tightened unconsciously on the armrest.

A heavy silence hung in the air.

After a long moment, he said, “Let’s go.”

Logan didn’t dare so much as glance at his employer’s face. He quickly turned the wheelchair and wheeled Harrison away, their departure silent and unnoticed.

Anastasia had no idea anyone had come—or gone. She just stared at the arrogant, inexplicably confident man in front of her, wondering how she could have ever fallen for someone like him in another life.
