Chapter 0066

“Of course, it is! You didn’t want to let go of Alexia and I get it. I know you love her. But I also know you’d never let the company fall into Peter’s hands because of your strange rivalry. You can’t stand losing. But I’m not willing to stay in this game anymore. I don’t know how much more I’d have to endure.”

“Mary, listen to me! I didn’t know she came to see you, or that you were about to back out of the wedding. It was all a misunderstanding. I thought you and my grandmother had struck a deal. I felt tricked and humiliated. I thought you’d trapped me with a dirty scheme, but now I see it was all a misinterpretation of a conversation I overheard.”

“What are you talking about? What misunderstanding? What deal?”

“I went to see you that day. When I was about to enter your dressing room, I overheard my grandmother talking about some agreement. She said you had to keep making me fall in love, give me children, and that we’d be happy in our marriage and as a family. Now I understand that what I heard wasn’t what she meant. But it’s too late.”

A tear slid down Mary’s cheek. Hearing that the torment this man had inflicted on her for nearly four years was due to a misunderstanding broke her heart.

“Why are you telling me this now?”

“Because I want to fix the enormous mistake I made. I want us to start over. I want to give you everything I didn’t before.”

“Maximus,” she said, turning to look at him with her face streaked with tears, “it’s too late. I don’t want anything to do with you. If I stay by your side, too many bad things will happen, and I’m not willing to go through that. I want my life back.
