Chapter 0230

Ella POV

The next morning at the Castle, doubt still clung to me like a heavy fog. The last time I’d gone through with a wedding, I’d known in my heart it would end in disaster.

This time, it wasn’t certainty that haunted me–it was uncertainty.

Last night, I was convinced that I had placed the voice of my mysterious savoir; today, I was filled with doubt. It didn’t make sense, I just couldn’t be right about who it was..

But how could I know for sure? There was no way to prove it, no way to uncover all the secrets he kept. I was putting my trust in a man who might never let me fully understand him.

That shouldn’t have bothered me if this was truly a means to an end. Yet it did. It bothered me more than I wanted to admit.
