Kalix was in the middle of his work when Dianna walked into his office unannounced.
"Don't you know how to knock?" His cold, sharp words halted her in her tracks.
He didn't even spare her a glance, his focus remaining on the file before him. But his dismissive tone cut through her pride like a blade.
Dianna sighed, displeasure evident on her face.
"What's with your behavior toward me, Kalix?" She finally asked, unable to hold back any longer. "I've watched you act indifferent, treating me like I'm nothing. Why?"
She had thought patience would make him acknowledge her. That if she proved her devotion, he would see her. But no matter how much she tried, he only seemed to drift further away.
Did he even realize how much she admired him? How she had once looked forward to being his wife? Yet, his cold indifference never wavered, and just when she thought she had a chance unless Winter stepped in, blocking her path to him entirely.
