Kaley's Pov
I exhaled shakily and looked at him…at Owen.
My fiance.
Goodness gracious, I have a fiance!
Oh wow, okay.
It's gonna take a while for that to sink in. A little bit of time to wrap my head around my new reality but okay.
I will get there…eventually.
I like this reality better anyway.
I like having someone care enough about me to walk into a hostile situation to ask me to marry him…someone to remind me that I am more than my mistakes and more than my screw ups…someone to remind me that underneath my shame and my guilt, I was someone's daughter, someone's sister…I'm someone's loved one.
I am more than my mistake.
I exhaled again and again until slowly, it started to sink in.
I am more than my mistake.
I will atone for my atrocities but not at the hands of Lucious Reign, not anymore
He has taken more than enough pounds of flesh…we are more even.
