AMELIA
I clenched my hands so tight that my knuckles turned white, trembling as I fought the urge to throw something, anything, to make the pain stop.
The storm in my chest roars louder than the outside world, each beat of my heart like a drum stoking my fury.
I took a shallow breath, my chest rising and falling unevenly, trying to calm the hurricane inside me.
Kieran.
Kieran.
His name rang in my head repeatedly, and my hand was curled so tight i was sure my fingers must have left permanent marks in my palm.
After weeks of radio silence, Kieran reappeared. I resumed my duty of following him, and the wave of anger that washed through me when I saw him and his ex wife together was enough to leave me dizzy.
I watched them go on private family outings, unable to believe my eyes.
