Chapter 150

• I went cold, my brain spacing out in shock. But nothing could be compared to the traumatic look on Alonso's face. It crushed my heart to bits. Despite not discussing it with me, I knew how much this thing meant to him. I knew how he battled to end it all and brought normalcy to this household while fighting to be a good King to our people. It was evident in his eyes while he cuddled me at night, even while he seduced me with his body parts. His eyes were often remote. If only I could tell him that adverse to all he had know since childhood, that sometimes, it's okay to show weakness. Especially, with loved ones.
• So this moment of relapse on his side wasn't new to me, I solely comprehended. I plopped down beside him and took his head and crushed to my shoulders. I hugged him tightly, relishing in his warmth as well. "It's going to be alright, I promise."
• "I'm tired," He whispered in a hoarse voice.
