Third Person's POV
"Are you still in love with him?" Rafael expressed his thoughts.
He couldn't get over it because he had looked inside Edward's mind and experienced Astrid's agony. He could see Astrid loved him so deeply that she begged him not to reject her, but the bastard eventually did.
Though Rafael has shown Astrid how much he loves her in every way possible, he wants to know about her sentiments before making a spoken confession about his feelings for her, but Astrid drops another bomb on his head about her second mate.
Rafael exclaimed, "What!!!"
Astrid was taken off by his quick inquiry, but she was sure of her feelings after that day. She had no feelings for Edward and despised him for mistreating her.
'Yes, how could we continue to love someone who treats us like trash when there is someone like Rafael who redefined 'Love' for us?' Scarlet pushed Astrid to reveal her feelings for him.
