And now she stood, watching the romantic garden scene with cold, calculating eyes.
[So this is the famous Lily Martin,] Anna thought, her perfectly manicured nails digging into her palms. [The nobody actress who somehow trapped Jacob Cross into marriage.]
She'd done her research thoroughly.
Lily Martin: minor actress, unremarkable background, no significant family connections, no business acumen.
Nothing that would make her suitable for someone like Jacob Cross.
[And yet he married her. Was forced to marry her, according to the rumors. But forced marriages don't usually involve romantic garden dinners and obvious affection.]
Selena had returned to the country three months ago with one purpose: reclaim what should have been hers.
She and Jacob had dated briefly years ago, before she'd left to study abroad and build her career in Europe. Before she'd stupidly let him go, thinking she had time, thinking he'd wait.
When she'd returned, she'd learned he was married.
To her.
