Chapter 37 - Aiden
W atching Olivia storm out of his family’s cabin had left Aiden in a panic. He felt like he’d blacked out through their entire conversation, and seeing her leave was the slap across the face he needed to come back to himself. He kept replaying the previous twenty minutes in his head.
He’d remember Olivia’s ex proposing, and Aiden hated him for it. A deep gut-wrenching hatred. What right did her ex have to show up like that? He’d lost that right, and Olivia was with Aiden now. Or she had been until he’d royally fucked up. She’d come here to explain, but Aiden’s brain had gone primal. In his mind, he’d been back in his apartment bedroom, seeing Rebecca with another man on top of her. And the tattoos. God, Olivia’s ex had been covered in them, just like the man he’d caught fucking Rebecca.
Seeing Olivia’s ex proposing had felt like history was repeating itself. Another man taking a woman Aiden loved away from him.
Oh fuck. I love her. I love Olivia . And I’ve ruined everything.
