“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.
Althea could feel all her memories of Caleb rushing back into her brain like an unstoppable tide.
The image of him cheating on her with another woman had haunted once again and she didn't want to feel the pain she felt when she had caught him in that moment.
She couldn't bear to see the face she had once admired, the lips she had kissed goodnight, and the person she had loved so deeply. It all felt like a distant, painful memory, yet now, it felt as though it had returned to haunt her.
As Althea turned away, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, Caleb instinctively reached out to grab her hand, desperate to explain or make amends. However, Ladia, who had been observing the situation from a short distance, intervened. She gently placed her hand on Caleb's arm, preventing him from pursuing Althea any further.
