Anna remained frozen, letting everything Jayden had said to sink in.
His parting words kept ringing in her skull.
If we don't date, Aidan and Helena will get married.
The sentence would not leave her alone.
The way Jayden had said it made it sound more than a threat, but also something he was foreseeing. Doing what he said was the only way to get those two not to get married.
She sank deeper into her chair, her fingers curling around the edge of the desk as her mind scrambled to parse his meaning.
If Jayden truly loved Helena, then does it mean this is his desperate play to pull Helena away from Aidan?
Her heart was pounding, not just from the implication, but from confusion. Nothing was clear. Everything about these brothers, and the royal family felt like a dirty game.
Before she could decide what to make of it, her phone beeped with a text message from Aidan.
A flicker of relief sparked in her chest. She grabbed her phone and swiped open to read the message.
