Third–person POV

+25 BONUS

David was back in the capital for the first time since the latest round of media criticism had hit him. He kept a hat pulled low to cover his hair and wore dark sunglasses, hoping to avoid recognition.

But even if someone did notice him, he had legitimate enough reasons to be there. He wasn’t worried about anyone being suspicious of his presence.

He’d been doing it their entire relationship, and Ella hadn’t even realized it. His mistake, he understood now, had been putting things in her hands. He wouldn’t make that mistake again.

Eventually, she would see that he was right. She would accept the situation–she’d have no other choice. And even if she didn’t, by the time she tried to act against him, David would have already secured what he wanted.
