Chapter 191
Zayne forced Kiara to her feet and led the way to find her other siblings.
"I was wrong. I should have turned to you in the beginning. I was a bit foolish not to have noticed from your actions that you would attack us. At least let me know. If I had shown interest in the engagement and helped you with the slaves, would you have loved me?" Kiara asked.
"No," Zayne answered.
"I see. She has you wrapped around her finger so much-"
"It doesn’t have anything to do with her. I would never love a woman like you. I would be impressed if you would admit you are a heartless woman," Zayne said but he knew it would never come.
As smart as Kiara was and how aware she was of her surroundings to make use of others, she couldn’t see that she was a heartless woman who forced others to love her instead of letting it happen naturally.
"I am heartless? I could marry any man in the kingdom but I picked one who couldn’t tell me his family name or offer me any riches. How am I heartless when I was ready to give him a better life and go up against my father’s wishes to do so? I was good to him," Kiara argued, the betrayal of Alexander abandoning her still lingered.
How many princesses would do what she was willing to do for Alexander? She was ready to go into a fight against her father so that she could have him.
"Loving someone means wanting the best for them even if it means letting them go. You forced him to your side, and he ran away in the end. Let us end this talk here since you will never understand. Is it here?" Zayne asked, noticing the change in the palace’s decor where they walked now.
