Chapter 6: Running Away Into Trouble
Rory's pov
I didn't know the exact moment whereby I forgot that Alex didn't propose to me or asked me to marry him, and that it was initially because I was betrothed to him. I didn't know how I completely forgot about that, that it shocked me to the core on being reminded by Alex right now.
Perhaps it was because of how I ended up falling for Alex, thinking he fell for me as well, not knowing it had all been an act. That's the only reason why I let the line get blurred, which made me delude myself into thinking I had a choice in going along with the marriage or not
I sucked in a deep breath, suddenly feeling like a really dumb fool. Alex was still staring down at me, a blank look on his face, hands folded.
"I- I..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"I'm gonna send another outfit to you for the wedding, get some rest. The wedding is in two days." He reminded me, voice low. Every softness which used to be in his voice whenever he was talking to me wasn't present.
It made me shudder at the stark difference.
I pushed my hair out of my face before attempting to respond.
"I'm not getting married to you, Alex. I refuse to go along with the marriage." I forced the words out of my throat, watching as Alex's eyes narrowed.
