The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 344

Victoria was stunned.

By the time she realized what had happened, she was already pinned to the sofa. The man’s body loomed over her, his arms braced on either side of her head.

“Elias, you… let me go.”

Victoria instinctively struggled to push him away, but one of her wrists was held fast in his right hand, pressed against her chest, rendering her powerless.

They were dangerously close.

Victoria could clearly feel his breath, tinged with alcohol, ghosting over her eyelashes. The faint heat sent the ripples in her heart, already stirred by memory, into a chaotic rhythm.

But Elias seemed not to hear her. His gaze locked onto hers, as if trying to see into her very soul.

After that night when he could only watch as Tobias carried her into the break room, he hadn't sought her out for days. He had Hawk pack his schedule to the brim. When there were no more appointments, he drank with Jonah at The Cloudscape, not allowing himself a moment of rest.

He had thought that once Garnett’s condition stabilized, Victoria would come to him. After all, his hand was injured because of her. But she hadn't. She stayed by Grady and Garnett’s side for three whole days without sending him a single text. She hadn't thought of him at all!

And she let Tobias hang around her all day.

When Hawk reported to him, it was always that she and Tobias were going to the doctor's office to discuss Garnett’s condition, or that they were eating together in the cafeteria.

A single man and a single woman, spending all their time together…
