Ivy’s POVHis smirk doesn’t last long.Before I can even form an answer for his mocking words, his expression tightens. Pure agony flashes over his face before he pushes it aside through sheer will. His hands slide to my sides and hold on in a grip that makes me wince.It’s like he doesn’t even realize he is doing it, holding me to him like an anchor.A violent tremor goes through his body, and his forehead scrunches in pain. His muscles ripple with an unrestrained kind of power, his entire body stiff with tension.And then, he drops his head on my shoulder.It’s an instinctive gesture. Almost like it’s not in his control.The moment the skin of his forehead meets my shoulder, I gasp.He is burning. The heat of him threatens to burn through my clothes.“Oh God, you have a fever,” I whisper, alarmed, but he barely registers my words. His head heavy against me as his body goes rigid.On instinct, I touch his back to steady him. Only to feel sticky liquid there. I pull it back to see blo

Ivy’s POV“Do you remember if Alyssa was with someone that day?” I ask the workers at the shop, my voice desperate for the truth.They exchange uneasy glances. Finally, an older woman speaks, her voice hesitant. “She came for her final fitting. She was so happy…” Her words trail off, and the silence that follows feels like a stone pressing down on my chest.I press on. “Anything strange? Anything unusual that might’ve–”The door chime interrupts me. I turn, startled by the sharp sound, and see a woman stride in like she owns the place.She’s striking, dressed to perfection, with lips painted an audacious shade of purple. There’s something about her - the cruel glint in her eyes - that makes my stomach tighten.Before I can process who she is or what she wants, she picks up a glass jug full of water from the counter.And throws it at me.The water hits me like a slap, cold and shocking. I gasp, stumbling back as it soaks my hair, my dress, every inch of me. My hands fly up instinctivel

Alexander’s POVSomething doesn’t sit right with me.I don’t know what it is.A slight tension in the middle of my chest.A strange kind of aggression that dances at the tips of my fingertips.A throb of pain that pulses at my temple.And, all I can think of is my wife.My little lying wife who looked at me with green eyes that felt like twin wounds. Full of pain and an unexpected sort of betrayal.My little enemy who turned her back on me the moment her body touched the bed in her room.And, her words hit me like bullets.Haven’t you done enough? Wasn’t today enough of your cruelty for me? Do I constantly need to hurt at your hands? When will you finally be satisfied?A part of me wants to scoff at the words. It wants to discard them. It wants to think of them as more lies. More manipulation. More emotional blackmail.But that part is small. Almost negligible.A huge part of me is irritated because it knows that she wasn’t lying. She wasn’t trying to manipulate.At that moment, she h

Ivy’s POVI look at her in shock.“H-how? Why?” I ask, taken aback at what she just revealed to me.“Come child, I’ll tell you.”She gently grabs my wrist and takes me inside. I freeze when I find the woman - Alexander’s mother - sitting on the floor, absentmindedly playing like a child.The maid nudges me to sit down on a chair and brings out a first aid kit. Gently, she applies an ointment on the tiny bruises on my neck.Her voice is soft, almost hesitant, as she speaks, her words peeling back layers of a story I can barely comprehend."Alexander's mother," she begins, her gaze distant, "was once a woman of great nobility and beauty. She believed she would be queen, and she and Alexander’s father had even once been engaged, but... things don’t always go as we hope."I sit in silence, hanging on her every word.“Before she knew it, she had her future ripped away when her family’s influence crumbled after the sudden deaths of her father and brother. With no powerful allies left, the L

Ivy’s POVYou abandoned her, James.Don’t act like you didn’t betray her for your own gain.Don’t act like you weren’t the one who gave the address to Alexander, so he knew where the wedding was happening.The words ring in my ears like a cruel mockery of everything I have ever known.I feel my face crumpling, hot tears stinging my eyes as betrayal crawls up my whole body.How could he do this to me?I said yes to this marriage because I didn’t want James to suffer the consequences. I gave him so much of my time, so much of my care.I thought he loved me. He made me believe it.All this time, I felt guilt in my heart, for leaving him at the altar.And all this time, he had willingly let go of me.I feel like a fool. A joke. The only one in the dark.Without a word, I turn my back on everything and rush out of the venue, angrily brushing away the tears from my cheeks.Outside, the harsh wind struck my cheeks, making me feel even more vulnerable, lonely, deceived.And then, a warm hand
