Instead he looks down at me with that same infuriating smirk.
"Temper, temper."
"Let!. Go!."
He tilts his head slightly.
"Oh come on now, dis you really think marrying you was because I loved you?"
For a split second, something flickers across my chest... something uncomfortable but I shove it down immediately.
"Of course not," I snap.
Zane's eyebrow lifts slightly.
"No?"
"No."
I pull against his grip again.
"I know exactly why you married me."
"And why is that?"
I glare up at him.
"Because mt grandfather arranged it between you aand my sister ivy but I decided to be a Good Samaritan and stand in for her."
The words feel bitter coming out of my mouth.
"It was a deal," I continue. "A business arrangement between you and him."
Zane studies my face closely, tpo closely .
"Is that what you think?"
"It's what I know."
His eyes move over my face slowly, searching.
"You're very sure about that."
"Yes."
