Chapter 81

LYDIA’S POV

Living with Callum was strange. It was not uncomfortable, not unsafe. It was just unfamiliar.

Days turned into a quiet routine I hadn’t expected. The penthouse remained as pristine as the day I arrived, and somehow, I found myself moving through it like a guest who had overstayed but wasn’t asked to leave.

Callum was different. He was cold but not cruel and distant but not dismissive.
