THE KING'S POSSESSION
"You know I would do anything for you. But this marriage is not something I can easily refuse. It's for the sake of the kingdom."
She looked at him, her eyes filled with desperation and pain. "But what about us? What about our love?"
Lucian pulled her into a tight embrace, his hand gently stroking her hair. "I love you, Isabel. That will never change. But sometimes, as king, I must make choices that hurt the ones I care about the most."
Isabel buried her face in his chest Her sobs muffled by his clothing. She knew deep down that she was asking for the impossible, that her request was selfish. But she couldn't help it. The thought of losing him to someone else was unbearable.
