Roan found himself torn between his longing to see his mother, Duchess Hermine, and his loyalty to Zayn. He had always wanted to meet his mother, but he didn't want to disappoint Zayn, so he tried to follow his instructions at the beginning.
As he had anticipated, Roan found it unbearable to be in close proximity to the girl for too long, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. He couldn't fathom how Zayn, who had witnessed the girl's malevolence with his own eyes, could have married her.
Roan was incredulous. Zayn, the one who had initially despised Ariana before, was now treating her with unexpected gentleness. Was his eldest brother truly changing his mind?
Roan gritted his teeth, refusing to entertain the truth. He would never forget what that girl had done, even if everyone else did. She was the one who had torn his family apart. She didn't deserve to be treated well.
