She laughs softly, then pauses. “Hey, Adrian.”
“What?”
“Remember when I lied to you about cheating?”
My mood instantly blackens. I hate that part of our lives, even if it shaped who we are today. But what I hate the most is the feelings from back then. It’s true that she didn’t cheat, that she was as faithful to me as I was to her, but at one point, I believed it. And that pain split me in two, and because I was miserable, I hurt her.
“Why are you bringing that up?” I ask.
“I’m curious. If you believed I cheated, how come you never let me go? Wouldn’t that have been the most logical thing to do?”
“Not to me. I would rather have you, even knowing you cheated, than not having you at all.”
Moisture gathers along her lids as she grins. “Oh, Adrian.”
I narrow my eyes. “Are you thinking about cheating, Mrs. Volkov?”
“Not even in the next life.” She wraps her arms around my neck. “You’re not only my lover and my husband, you’re also my best friend and my partner in everything.”
“And you are mine, Lenochka.”
“I love you, Mr. Volkov.”
“I love you, Mrs. Volkov.”
And I’ll spend the rest of my life showing her exactly how deep and raw that love is.
