Chapter 6

Emma’s POV

Just as everyone in the room stared and waited for his response, I did the same thing. I waited for him to give an answer, and I prayed silently that his answer would be the end of all of this.

If he refuses to marry me, then Michael will have no choice than to set me free from all this. After all, I won’t be useful to him anymore.

“Your Highness, you still haven’t said anything?” Dora’s father asked the silent prince again.

He stared at me suddenly, and feeling uncomfortable by his look, I looked away still hoping within me that his answer would be a no.

“It’s been agreed that Dora and I will get married. The media knows it and everyone else too. And most importantly, the merger depends on this. What you did yesterday should have made me cancel the whole thing, but this merger has to take place. So the wedding has to continue,” he replied, and I closed my eyes in disappointment.
