Aaron was stunned by what was being said. He knew he wasn't particularly good at hiding his distaste for others…in hindsight, he should have known his 'good brother' act was transparent.
It was true. He didn't like Gray. He never had.
He had the kind of falseness about him that Aaron had hated about every single person in high society. Those people never made their true intentions clear because their entire lives were surface-level lies.
He had never been able to trust the man as far as he could throw him so how was he supposed to like him? Especially since he had been involved in Keeley's and Robert's deaths in his first life.
Going into their relationship already feeling like Gray was an enemy…even if he had acted more sincerely, Aaron probably wouldn't have accepted him for real. How could he have when he was working with Lacy in a seeming repeat of what happened before?
