Chapter 117
The following day, Adrian and Elara remained in the house, enjoying each other's company.
Although the king and Elara appeared to want the same thing that very moment.
both of them were playing the same game for entirely different reasons.
Elara had come to the manor the previous day while the sun was still high in the sky. She had deliberately convinced Adrian to stay behind with her instead of leaving, knowing exactly what she was doing. More than anything, she wanted people to know she was here.
The sooner the kingdom began whispering about their affair, the easier it would be for Adrian to openly claim her as his woman.
She didn't trust fate, and she certainly didn't trust promises.
Adrian had sworn that she was his. but she had learned long ago that words alone meant very little. Men could change their minds overnight, especially men with power.
That was why she intended to make sure there was no turning back.
