Chapter 126: Rightful owner (1)
Paige made her way outside to search for a way to get home. The servants were all busy trying to get out of the way so they wouldn’t feel Lord Blackthorn’s wrath and worrying about whether they would have a job tomorrow.
"Paige."
The sight of Trevor angered Paige. His mother could lie to her but not Trevor. He was meant to be honest as her husband.
"Why didn’t you tell me of Lord Blackthorn’s last visit? I am always honest with you and in return, I was blindsided by you and your mother. Now I question what the rest of your family said to me. I do not trust you well enough to continue to be your wife. The ring is inside so I suggest you move fast before they toss it out," Paige advised Trevor.
"What?" Trevor replied, confused as to why their marriage had come to this. "I didn’t lie to you. I just didn’t tell you because it meant nothing. My mother had me convinced that this was my home. It is easy for Lord Blackthorn to have forged his letter to please Selene."
Paige looked over her shoulder at the very man Trevor spoke of. Xavier did have the power to do so but she doubted this was the case. Ruby’s reaction told her exactly what happened. "I don’t need a man who’s going to follow everything his mother tells him. If I could see through her plans quickly, you should have too but you were in on it."
"Wait," Trevor grabbed Paige’s head. The pain Xavier created still lingered but he could manage it while speaking to his wife.
Paige looked ahead of Trevor to the carriage where Selene sat. She pulled her hand away from his hold and started to make her way to the carriage.
As soon as Paige started walking toward the carriage, she felt someone else near her and knew it was Xavier. Why couldn’t she be fortunate to have a man be so quick to defend her? Instead, she was married to a man who couldn’t say no to his mother and his head was bloody, most likely from losing a fight.
