Alexia POV:
Stupid former brothers. Why the heck were they here?
Okay, yes, I'll admit it—I was jealous. Because unlike me, they still had everything. They were still etched in the history books, still together, still had the status and camaraderie that used to define my life. And me? I was an erased page, a forgotten footnote in the timeline.
After the last incident at the diner, when I'd dumped hot coffee on them and stormed out, I hadn't thought much about why they were there. It didn't even occur to me that they might have been there because of Aiden. But seeing them here, chatting so casually with him, laughing like old friends, I pegged them to be his buddies. His allies.
It stung.
It felt like Aiden had taken the life that should've been mine. My brothers—my brothers—should've been standing by me, not him. And that realization, that bitter truth, made my blood boil.
Fuck all of them.
