Aiden's POV
I didn't know what the hell was wrong with me.
I was acting like some hormonal teenager, getting worked up over things I shouldn't even care about. The fact that I was attracted to my contract wife was already bad enough. But getting jealous over random guys calling her? That was an entirely new level of pathetic.
It didn't sit well with me. None of it did.
And to make things worse, she had the audacity to call me a hypocrite.
Her words still echoed in my head. "You're mad at me over a simple phone call? Seriously? But when Liz calls, it's perfectly fine? You don't see the double standard here?"
I had clenched my jaw so hard I thought my teeth might crack. She wasn't wrong—but that didn't mean I wanted to hear it. It only made the anger burn hotter, twisting into something I couldn't even name. But instead of lashing out, I forced myself to stay quiet.
