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..

I wanted to believe that this wedding was the right move and that everything Alexander and I had been working toward had meaning. That he wasn’t just playing some strange game.

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.

Every attempt I’d made to keep my distance, to protect myself, had failed. My feelings for Alexander had taken root, growing stronger despite my efforts to shield my heart. That was going to make all of this so much harder.
