CHAPTER 197

  Belle's POV

  I nodded, feeling the tears welling up in my eyes. "I know, Kamille. I know there's no going back. But… I can't do it. I can't marry Dave. Not like this. Not when I know it's wrong."

  Amanda reached out and took my hand, her grip firm and reassuring. "Then don't do it, Belle. If you're not sure, if you're not absolutely certain that this is what you want, then don't go through with it. We'll help you, whatever you decide."

  A tear slipped down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it away, not wanting to ruin the makeup that had been so painstakingly applied. "But what about my family? The Scott family? They've invested so much in this wedding. If I back out now… I don't know what they'll do."

  "Belle," Amanda said softly, squeezing my hand. "You have to do what's right for you. Not for them, not for anyone else. If marrying Dave doesn't feel right, then it's not worth it, no matter what anyone says."
