ALORA

I walked into the bedroom and tried to seem as small as possible. I knew that Tristian was still upset about what happened. I wanted to talk to him, but I didn't know what to say. Should I be honest with him about what was going on? I didn't want to see anyone else punished because of me. Elizabeth didn't deserve what was happening to her. It was my fault and I felt so guilty. If I hadn't involved her, she wouldn't be in this situation. She lost her title and her pay all in one night. All of her hard has been wiped clean and she has to start at the bottom. I cursed under my breath and turned to face my husband. I got myself into this mess and it was time to get myself out of it. I needed to start taking ownership of the things I have done. I was the one not being honest, and I needed to be punished.

"Tristian."

"I don't want to talk right now."
