Chapter 147

Ashley's POV

It was dawn and I did not have a good sleep. After Regan made love to me last night, I was spent but he did let me go. He held me close to his chest and apologized for hiding the truth from me.

He said he was looking for the appropriate time to open up and he knew that I didn't love him so he was waiting for a miracle to happen. When he said that, he kissed my stomach and I knew what he meant…

He told me all about himself. All that had befallen him since the death of his parents. How he was treated and relegated by other Princes and the King.

He also told me about the Sect that helped him and kept him alive. He made me see reasons why he had to pretend to be lame. If they knew that he had no issues, he would have been killed.

He also told me how the Dowager got rid of his men. He told me about Adrian, his shadow guard and how he had served him since he was 10 years old.

I marveled at his loyalty and I remembered Rossi. I just trusted that Asher would not hurt her. Othe
