Chapter 132: Entangled Vows
"What do you mean by contract?" Duke gasped as I spoke. His confused face made me want to laugh.
"You don’t know about the contract you signed? How foolish do you think I am? Do I look like an easy fool to you?" I raised my voice.
"Wife, I don’t understand what you are trying to say," he said.
"You don’t understand? How can you not understand! How can you not grasp the simple fact that your mother prepared a contractual marriage between us long before we took our vows? You’ve signed the papers, and now our marriage is over after four years," I explained, bewildering him.
"You still can’t understand what’s going on?" I remarked, noticing Princess Vixara’s presence at the door.
"Alex, what’s taking you so long? You still have to show me the room," she innocently said.
"Yeah, go and show the room to your soon-to-be wife," I retorted, turning aside.
"You go; I will be there," Duke said, turning towards me. However, the princess insisted, "Alex, I don’t know the way."
Her voice infuriated me, and my blood started boiling. "What’s your issue? Didn’t you claim it was all a misunderstanding in front of the entire royal court? Why are you here? For a show? Came as the victory prize from the capital? No, you just wanted to defeat me, and you did it. Can’t you see I’m talking with my husband? Or have you become blind?" I shouted at her.
"Wife, calm down!" he urged.
"Why should I calm down? This witch has taken everything from me. She’s taking you away, and you’re telling me to calm down? Or was I a substitute from the start, even for you?" I turned to him.
"Wife, it’s nothing like that," he reassured.
