Chapter 11Talia's povI lay on my bed staring at the walls, the sunset streaming through the windows, casting a soft glow through the room. As I thought of What had just happened—Mara and Rhys's reaction to my painting the gates a bright shade of pink.I had only wanted to make things look different even if I knew I had no right to. A bold choice of mine that has stirred up whispers and raised eyebrows among the elders, maids, and guards of this house.I intended to do whatever will piss Mara off. Besides, she stole my man and made him marry her, and I'm going to show Mara hell in this house.Rhys's home felt like a refuge, an escape from all the chaos outside. Rhys's easy smile and warm laughter had always had a way of calming my nerves.I was still thinking when I heard a knock on the room door. Talia!. Rhys's voice called out from behind the door.Upon hearing Rhys's voice, I jumped up from the bed to answer the door.I opened the door to see Rhys standing in front of me. The man

Chapter 13Talia's PovI'll make sure to keep pushing Rhys's buttons till he sees me again. Why can't Rhys see how much I still want him? I thought that if I stayed here he'd come crawling back to me. But no, he kept pushing me away like I meant nothing to him.I know I wasn't the best fiance. I know I had my moments of rudeness and desperation. But that's just my kind of person. And I can't be more of a drama queen but it's just part of my charm.But seriously why can't Rhys see that Mara is so….boring?

And as for Mara, I'll deal with her mercilessly, well I still have a few tricks to play.She thinks she's so secure in her little marriage but little did she know that I'm just getting started.I'll make sure I turn Rhys against her, tell h

Chapter 15Rhys PovI hugged Mara tightly, trying to comfort her. She was still upset with our conversation earlier. And I felt guilty for letting Talia stay.I knew I had hurt my wife and I wanted to make it right. As we hugged, I felt her body relax on mine. She felt so comfortable. I had missed this, missed us.I kissed her on her forehead and pulled her to the bed. As I lay in bed with Mara, I couldn't help but think about my encounter with Talia. As I talked to Talia I realized I didn't feel the same way I felt for her before anymore. I was done with her.Mara drew closer to me, and I pulled her closer, feeling a sense of gratitude, relaxation, and love for my wife."I'm exactly where I'm meant to be, with her. I thought to myself."I was still lost in thoughts when I slept off. I woke up the next day feeling better and lively.I knew I needed to set boundaries with Talia, to make it clear that I'm committed to my wife and marriage.I got out of bed, with my wife, to the dining r

Chapter 17Rhys PovWe turned to see what Talia had discovered, and our hearts sank. On the wall, a hidden panel had slid open, revealing a document framed in gold.Mara looked baffled, "what is that? She asked"Talia's smile grew wider. "The truth about Mara's past. The secrets she's been hiding from you. Talia said."I felt a surge of protectiveness towards Mara. "Talia, stop this. I yelled at her."But Talia continued, her voice dripping with excitement. "Read it, Rhys. Read the truth about your precious wife."I hesitated for a moment, confused about what to do. Mara's grip on my arm tightened."Rhys, don't," Mara whispered. "It's just one of Talia's tricks, it's not what it seems."But my curiosity got the better part of me. I took a step closer, my eyes scabby the document.As I read through, My world began to crumble, The document revealed a shocking secret about Mara's past, one that threatened to destroy everything I've accomplished."It is not true," Mara who had been readin

Rhys PovThe day of the masquerade ball had finally arrived, and the castle was filled with excitement. But beneath the surface, tension lingered.In the security room, I gathered my team, including James and Emily. "Tonight is the night. We need to be vigilant." I told them with all seriousness.James nodded. " We've increased patrols and stationed guards at every entrance.""I've reviewed the guest list. Everyone has been identified." Emily added."That's very good," I said, my eyes scanning the monitors displaying the corridors. " Talia will try something. Let's be ready."As the sun dipped, the house transformed into a whirlwind of color and music.Masks glinted in the candlelight and joyous laughter echoed through the halls.I nodded, my eyes scanning the monitors displaying the castle's corridors. "Talia will try something. Let's be ready."Mara appeared in a silver color gown, smiling beside me. "You look handsome, Rhys."I smiled back, adjusting my black domino mask. "You're s
