Lilith’s POV;
Our marriage wasn’t built on love, but it still hurt that he had brought his mistress to the house we shared.
He had promised that he was going to give me time to open up my heart to him. It was barely a month later and he was already tired. I scoffed at that thought and finally pushed the thoughts of him and his betrayal out of my mind. It really wasn’t worth it.
To make matters worse, he didn’t appear for dinner and neither did she, and I couldn’t help but imagine if he was somewhere with her. There was no word from any of the maids either and Ben might’ve noticed, for he ate with me and, thankfully, didn’t say anything.
He seemed like a good person, so I wanted to ask him if what I had heard was right, if indeed, he was after the throne, but I couldn’t find myself doi
