Chapter Twelve

Tristan

What did she mean by that? I adored every minute I got to spend with Nina. The fact that I worked so much was the only reason we didn’t get to be with each other more.

“I love being with you. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She lifted her head and yanked her right hand from my hold to wipe the tears from her cheek. “You’re not stupid, Tristan, but you clearly need me to spell it out for you, so I will. I know there’s someone else. Another woman. Feel better about having me say it so you didn’t have to? Because I don’t.”

My mouth dropped open as her accusation filtered its way to the center of my brain. Another woman? That’s what she thought kept me away from my home and her and our kids for so many hours a day?

I stood there staring at her in utter shock, crushed at what she thought I could do to us. I hadn’t thought of a single woman in any way like I did for her since that first night we met outside the art gallery. There was no one but her for me. How could she think I’d ever do that to her?

Shaking my head, I tried to find the words I needed to say to convince her how wrong she was. I studied her face to see if she had really said that she thought I’d been cheating on her. How could she?

“I don’t know what gave you that idea, but you’re wrong. I would never do that to you, Nina. To us,” I finally answered.

When you started staying in the city and sleeping at the penthouse over the winter, I suspected something was going on.”

Sleeping at the penthouse? I thought back to the last time I’d even been there. I hadn’t done that since January. That was five months ago.

“I stayed there a few nights because of the weather, and then a few times you drove in with the kids to see me. You know I was alone there. I haven’t been at that penthouse with a woman other than you in over a decade,” I explained, still stunned she believed I could betray her and everything we’d built together with another woman.

She shrugged again, like nothing I could say would make her see how wrong she was. “I’ve felt that you were distant when we made love starting months ago.”

Jesus. She’d built this whole thing up in her mind already.

“I’ve been working my ass off for the last year. Stone Worldwide has been diversifying. You know that. I would never turn my back on you and the kids with someone else. Never. Do you understand me, Nina? Never.”

I tried to pull her to me, hating
