"I'm sorry," I whisper softly, sincerely. The apology seems inadequate for what I've just put her through, but it's all I have for now.

"Well, you can take your sorry and shove it up your ass," she retorts angrily. "What were you thinking, Soren? You can't just rope someone into a fake engagement without their consent!" I flinch at the venom in her words, but she's right, so I hold my tongue and let her vent.

"Did you ever consider how this might affect me? Or Max, for that matter? You've just set us up for a world of heartache when everything comes crashing down!" She's right, but it felt like the only viable option at the time. And now, standing in front of her, facing the consequences of my impulsive decision, I realize how deeply I've wounded her trust.

The weight of it all threatens to suffocate me, and now I am not only hiding from my past, from the king, but now I also have to hide from his parents! "What the hell was that?" I hiss, my whisper harsh but filled with restrained fury. He rushes to close the door, but I am livid and want to strangle the man! "I'm sorry," He whispers softly, sincerely, but no amount of apologizing will make this up to me. I have been down this engagement road before and want no part in this.

"I didn't mean for that to happen. I wasn't expecting them to cvisithere." I turned to him with fire in my eyes, "You told them you were engaged? And you never thought of mentioning it to me? Why!?"

He flinches at my words, knowing to he's in deep trouble. "I'm sorry, Bree, but they've been trying to forcemarry since lost my wife." He has no idea the pain this causes me. How I was once engaged, and how badly that ended for me. And now I've been thrown under the bus, only this time, this engagement is a sham.

"So you told them we were engaged! I don't even know you!" I snap at him, my voice a mixture of anger and desperation He stares atand opens his mouth to say something, but I shake my head.
