IRIS'S POV.
My knees buckled and I fell to the ground, tears stinging my eyes. So it was true. She wasn't just running her mouth. They had planned what looked like a romantic night together. How foolish was I to have fallen for this man's fake charms.
He said he was going to be waiting for me yet he he stood with another woman. All those kisses, the puppy, the dress up , the walk to the party and the possessiveness, they were all an act.
He had another woman on his mind when with me. And I thought we had something going on. Did he have to pretend I was her to make it easier to sleep next to me at night?
I don't understand. It wasn't suppose to hurt like this. Regan was still a stranger. This marriage was still an arranged one. This man was still not my prince charming. The one I'd meet and fall in love with and let him take me away. This was the man I married to safe my brother's life, to safe my people.
