Chris’s POV
I watch her go, my heart breaking inside my chest. There is nothing that I wanted to do more than to help her take Toby to the hospital. When she walked in on Rachael begging me to bed her, I felt my world shatter. I hadn’t told her about Rachael. All the times that I had the chance had flipped in my head. Before I could react, she had run out.
Toby ran after her but not before decking me a good one. I deserved it. I stood up and chased after him, only to run into a battle. My blood ran cold. I shouted at the guards inside the palace to go and assist. When Toby went down, and I saw Rae drop the attacker before rushing to Toby, my heart stopped. I glanced up to see that she had no idea they were coming at her.
