ARIANNE POV
As the carriage rattled along the cobblestone road, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. Beside me sat Azar, the man I had vowed to spend my life with. But recent revelations had shattered the trust I once had in him.
I honestly couldn't believe that he would come with me based on what he did. I was even more surprised when he asked me what my decision was and if I wanted to go. I didn't know why he would ask me that when it was clear his intentions was to keep me from finding out the truth.
