He had protected me in his own weird way—he acted overbearing, protected me from Maleficent. and Mark as if we had been a couple for over a decade. Sometimes I couldn't understand this man. I couldn't understand why he does what he does. He protects me. Everything feels so weird to me. No one has ever treated me so kindly. My father, the one I’ve known all throughout my life as I was growing up, doesn’t treat me as nicely as Desmond does. A man that I was supposed to marry and had been engaged to for more than three years doesn’t treat me as nicely as Desmond does. They betrayed me. But Desmond treats me differently.Sometimes I wonder if he only got close to me, if he only accepted my offer just because he wanted to stop the rumors of him being gay—or if he was a secret admirer of mine who had been monitoring me for over a year and finally saw the chance of being together with m
Desmond’s POV“My mother’s inheritance—I’ll make sure you don’t get a single cent,” Agatha said firmly. “You can go ahead and marry Mark, do whatever you want, but hear this, Maleficent: you are not getting anything from my mother’s estate. I am her last legacy. She believed that finding love—me marrying Mark—would grant me her properties. Well, I’m without Mark today, but tomorrow I’ll claim what’s mine.

I couldn't help but glance at her. She had a smirk on her face as she looked at the reporters, and then, at that moment, she glanced at me. Our eyes met.For a moment, I was confused about what reaction to show. I didn’t smile or say a word, because what I really wanted to say wasn’t appropriate for the situation.“Please excuse me and my wife,” I finally said. “We have a party to attend.”I turned to the reporters, holding Agatha’s hand. She stiffened—she felt tense—but I acted like I didn’t notice. I led her into the hall anyway. The reporters didn’t follow us. Instead, they parted as we passed through. Inside, the flourishing lights welcomed us, and a crowd of people greeted us.Agatha leaned toward me and whispered, “I want to talk.”Once we were fully inside, she turned to me with a
