Chapter 92: Someone In My Heart
Tarah parted her lips, eager to speak but unable to find the right words. Deep inside, it felt like a dream come true for her. As a woman, she also yearned for a fairytale-like relationship, dreaming of building a family with her brother Levi by her side. She had envisioned that idyllic life with Ezekiel.
She had harbored feelings for the prince long before meeting him in person, nurturing them in her heart for years. Prince Ezekiel had been her solace, alongside Levi, who provided her with strength and purpose. Despite enduring hardship under Devon’s reign, Prince Ezekiel became her beacon of hope as she meticulously crafted and executed her plan.
Ezekiel reached into his pocket and gently placed a ring, resembling a family heirloom, into her palm. "There’s no rush, Tarah. I’m willing to wait for your decision," he murmured with a smile, leaving her still speechless.
"I understand if you need your space now. Allow me to escort you to another room," he suggested, taking her hand and guiding her to a room with a shared balcony.
"I’ll leave you alone for now. I apologize if I caught you off guard, but given our circumstances, I see no reason to delay expressing my true feelings for you," Ezekiel explained softly. Then, he pressed his lips to her forehead and whispered, "Good night, Tarah."
Left to her own thoughts, Tarah gazed at the exquisite cushion-cut vivid pink diamond ring adorning her hand. The ring exuded elegance, set in a combination of rose and white gold, adorned with colorless trapeze-cut diamonds and delicate light pink brilliant-cut diamonds.
"They’re stunning," she whispered, slowly sliding the ring onto her fingers. Unbeknownst to her, tears welled in her eyes as she helplessly sank onto the bed. Soon, quiet sobs escaped her, her emotions overwhelming her in the solitude of the room.
Tarah longed to confide in Ezekiel and reveal everything, but the thought of jeopardizing her brother’s safety weighed heavily on her. Moreover, she dreaded the impending punishment for her unconventional actions, such as merging the dragon spirit with Ezekiel’s own spirit, which went against the established norm.
