'Was it really just to say he was sorry?'
'Or was it because he loved her and wanted to win her back?'
The word "love" had long since vanished from his world. After his experiences with Juliet Jennings and Naomi Shaw, the very concept of love left him feeling lost.
He once thought he was deeply in love with Juliet Jennings. But after the initial obsession faded, he realized his fixation on her back then was merely a way to get even—to vent the anger he felt when she'd dumped him without a second thought. That was why he'd lavished so much attention on her and spoiled her after he made his fortune. In reality, he just wanted to prove that she had been wrong to give him up.
He once believed he would never fall in love with Naomi Shaw. That was why, for those six years, he had never once properly faced her. But why, then, did the sight of her now—living happily with another man, raising a family with him—tear his heart apart with such pain?
'Could this be love?'
