Mia Grant didn't know why Hayes Hughes had wanted to die with her.
She had thought it was just because his moral compass was too strong, a result of overwhelming guilt.
But Yates Donovan told her that wasn't it.
If it had just been guilt, Hayes Hughes wouldn't have tried to hold her hand as he ended his life.
'So, was it love?'
'Really?'
Mia Grant didn't know...
Because until the very end, she had never heard a confession from Hayes Hughes.
Before that, she had never realized he was in love with her.
She had always thought he was just that gentle and polite to everyone, so she was no different in his eyes.
She even thought that because of Serena Grant, Hayes Hughes might have actually detested her, but was just too proper to show it.
If she had known from the start that Hayes Hughes loved her too, she definitely wouldn't have sought him out.
Sighing with wistful regret, she pressed a hand to her heart.
Her gaze returned to Silas Grant.
