Amelia's POV:
I couldn't describe how I felt sitting in Richard's lap.
His words hurt me. I knew what he said was right. Camila had told me that Damian had a girlfriend. I had even met her too. And Damian rejected me. Coldly.
I knew all that.
But being reminded of it dashed the last hope I had left. The hope that maybe, just maybe, Damian would want me back. That he would come for me, take me away from here. That our mate bond wasn't gone completely.
Richard was staring at me, it was so easy to get lost in his eyes. They were really beautiful up close, a bright golden color. But those eyes were cold and dead. I saw no manner of emotion in them.
I could feel his hand on my hips, moving up and down. He wasn't moving, he just held me.
I felt uncomfortable, but at the same time oddly
