A Royal Entanglement: The Young Royals Book 2 - Plot & Excerpts
Now, however, it was time to think about him and the consequences of his being in Merveille. It had been six months since I’d left him at the altar and I’d honestly thought that he wouldn’t come after me. But I had been wrong and now I needed to face the music, as it were. I dressed carefully. I had to appear professional, aloof, in control. I needed to project a level of calm I didn’t feel. I’d need to apologise, but I wouldn’t beg, and I’d need to hold my ground because there was no way I was going back with him. I remember my wedding day like it was yesterday. I remember the months I had spent planning it, the hundreds of invitations that had been sent out, the flowers and gifts and the dress. It had all been perfect. I also remember the racing heart, the shortness of breath and the strange tick I developed in my neck and shoulders on that morning. The feeling of drowning, of not being able to find my feet. The sensation of not having enough oxygen, the tremors in my hands, the inevitability of it all. Standing there, looking at myself in the mirror wearing a perfect, haute couture, white satin, off-the-shoulder a-line gown, with not a hint of lace or beading or frou-frou of any kind, my hair in an impeccable chignon and my makeup flawless, I’d suddenly seen my future and it had made me want to throw up.
