~Nicholas' POV~
Watching Kiera leave made my heart hurt but she was determined and there was nothing I can do.
Especially having seen the look in her eyes.
Once those eyes held adoration and awe for me, but now they were filled with disdain, anger and coldness. I had to admit, my marriage to Kiera did cause me immense pain but things hadn't always been like that.
I knew Kiera back then in our high school. She was a star that shone with unparalleled brilliance during our high school years.
Just like pretty much every other guy, 1, Nicholas, harboured a secret fascination for her, an unexpressed admiration wrapped delicately in the shroud of adolescent curiosity. Honestly, I couldn't claim it was love, not then. It was a distant interest, nothing more but before that could build into something else, Cristal entered.
