Chapter 55

Elena’s POV

My chest was still feeling heavy, and anger was accumulating in my heart. Then, I felt another squeeze of comfort in my hand.

Looking up, I met Prince Deacon’s eyes filled with determination and promise. “We’ll expose her, Elena. And when the truth comes out, your grandfather’s name will be cleared.”

Taking a deep breath, I let the weight that filled me lose a bit.

I nodded my head and was finally able to let out a small smile.

After a few minutes of comfort, we finally ease up.

Looking outside, we realized that it was already late.

“Do you want to dine here?” he asked, motioning toward the table.

Standing up, I shook my head. “No, it’s alright. I want to have a rest as well.”

“Then, I’ll walk you back,” he added as he pushed the tent’s fabric door out of my way.

Giving him a smile, I assured him, “I’ll be okay, Prince Deacon. Thank you, but I really want to have some alone time for a while.“.

For a moment, he stared at me as if reading my eyes to see if I was really fine. After a while, he let out a sigh of defeat. “Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Walking under the moonlight, I took a slow steps back to my tent as I let the night breeze and moonshine to ease all my worries and calm my nerves.

I was savoring the brief solitude I had for myself when a shadow loomed in front of me, making me halt in an instant.

A familiar voice echoed in my ears before I could even raise my face. “Elena…”

My heart stopped beating for a second as my legs instinctively moved backward.

Crossing my arms together, I gave Bryson a stoic expression and didn’t say anything.

“I… I want to say sorry for how Glenda acted earlier. I know that she’s out of line,” he said, almost whispering it..

A sneer couldn’t help but escape my lips. “Glenda’s actions speak for themselves, Bryson. No apology from you will change that.”

He nodded mindlessly but remained standing in front of me, making me raise my brows in judgment.

After a few seconds, he frustratedly combed his hair with his fingers before letting out a heavy sigh. “I also wanted to say that… I didn’t… I never realized you were so capable. Watching you fight today… It was like seeing a completely different person.”

A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

If I had seen that before, my heart would probably jumped. But not anymore. Not this time around.

Instead, I flashed him with a smirk. “Perhaps you never really looked at the person in front of you.”

I saw his body tense for a while, and he had a hard time swallowing a lump that had formed in his throat.

Something in his eyes flickered for a moment before he asked with difficulty, “Do you regret it? Our marriage?”

Hearing him having the audacity to ask that brought rage within me, causing me to sharply ask back, “That’s a question for you, Bryson. You made your choice. You left me.”

“I thought I was doing what was best… for both of us. But seeing you now, I can’t help but wonder… Did you ever truly love me?” he asked with a soft voice, eyes lingering in my eyes as if he was trying to read my soul.

Too bad for him. I closed myself off from him the second he said he had another woman.

My expression went cold, and I gazed at him with menacing eyes. Taking a firm step closer to him with narrowed eyes, I spoke steadily but sharply, “Love you? I married you because I thought we could build something together. But love? You never earned it. You were too busy neglecting your duties as a husband to even try.”

How dare he ask me if I love him? I did a lot of things for him. Wasn’t my answer obvious enough, or was he too blinded to see all my efforts for the past year we had been married?
