Third person POV

The fiasco of a wedding had all but guaranteed a messy ma lage. David Lake had never believed in sayings like that before, but now, as he and Amanda wallowed in misery, he couldn't deny its truth. And whose fault was it? Ella's.

She had ruined everything-again. Her ridiculously extravagant wedding had captured the attention of the entire kingdom. People couldn't stop heaping praise on her and that bastard, Alexander Black.

And where did that leave David? Indebted to his brother-law, married to an angry, resentful wife, and saddled with a reputation too tarnished to even announce his intentions to run for king.

Still, David told himself it was only temporary. He could fix this. He could fix everything as soon as he fixed Ella.
