“Are you willing to trust Emmett?” Bellatrix asked, cutting through the sea of thoughts invading my mind. We took separate cars, following Emmett in one that wouldn’t draw attention when we entered Donovan’s estate.
Tapping my finger against the wheel, pondering on what answer was befitting. There was a point in my life when he was the closest person to me, the only person I trusted, the only person I never questioned when it came to loyalty.
But everything was temporary in life, people and even the seesaw I stepped on when I became King.
“Emmett knows my weaknesses.” I continued, explaining the twisted belief I had in him. “He knew my parents personally, they loved him as well. If this is real, it would mean that he never saw any of us as family. However, he’s not a person who can fake happiness. If he went this far, well then, he would accomplish the cruelest way to hurt me.” I smiled, agony flaring in my chest as I clenched the steering wheel.
