The moment her eyes landed on the screen, her breath hitched.
There, staring back at her, was a photo.
Lucian… standing close to a woman. Not just close...intimate.
Even though the woman's face wasn't visible, obscured by the angle and shadows, Lana felt a chill crawl down her spine.
'I know her…'
Her fingers tightened slightly around the phone. 'I would never forget…'
That woman…
In her previous life, she had been the one Lucian favored the most. The one he stayed closest to.
"Thessy…"
The name slipped out of her lips in a barely audible whisper.
Taking a slow, shaky breath, she scrolled further, her heart pounding louder with each passing second.
'Maybe… it's just the angle… maybe it looks worse than it is…'
She clung desperately to that hope.
But the next image shattered it completely.
Lucian's hand was tangled in that woman's hair, his grip firm, almost possessive, as he leaned in close.
The intimacy in that moment was undeniable.
