The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Brittany paused, "There's nothing between me and Eltham-"

She couldn't have any romantic feelings for Eltham.

Isaac remained silent, diligently applying ointment to her wounds, then fetched a basin of warm water to wash her feet, before tucking her in with a blanket. "I know," he said. Brittany, sensing his mood was off, instinctively grabbed his hand. "The Lynettes have a hold over the royal family, and I don't want to be engaged to Eltham."

Isaac clasped her hand firmly, interlocking their fingers, his every touch radiating undeniable love.

"I know."

Brittany let out a sigh of relief. "I need some rest."

She was truly exhausted.

Isaac sat by the bed, "You sleep, I'll stay with you."

Hearing this, Brittany felt a wave of reassurance wash over her, and she closed her eyes, drifting into a deep sleep.

While Brittany slept soundly, Isaac was wide awake, tormented by the thought of his wife being engaged to another man. After what seemed like an eternity, a knock on the door broke the silence.
