Chapter Fourteen

Andrew

I wish you every happiness in your pursuit.

That’s how she chose to end things. There was no explanation, not even an ounce of regret. It was as if we were conducting nothing more than a business transaction before parting ways for good.

It didn’t make sense. I hadn’t imagined everything between us. I was not the type of man to easily equate sex to all things sentimental. I could distance myself between the act of making love and a casual fuck between two consenting adults.

But it wasn’t like that. It hadn’t been purely physical, something to just get out of our systems once and never look back on again.

I cared for Kinsley, maybe more than I realized. It would have been better not knowing how perfect she felt beneath me rather than longing for her as desperately as I did.

What the hell was I saying? Princes did not long for women. They sure as hell weren’t desperate. They fucked who they wanted without regret. It didn’t matter if Kinsley did want me. There were a dozen women ready to take her place.

But none of them were quite like her.

It didn’t matter how ardently I attempted to convince myself otherwise. I wanted her.

Only her.

The only problem was that Kinsley quite clearly did not want me. If anything, her tone indicated a coldness about her I had not anticipated. She effortlessly cast any relationship between us aside, barely listening to anything I had to say in its favor. I promised to break my engagement with Allegra, but it hadn’t been enough.

Perhaps I was a fool. I didn’t want to marry Allegra. But what were the chances of finding someone like Kinsley again? Someone who made me feel every good part of my life all at once, as if my every purpose for living finally made sense. Even if I did find someone else, there was no guarantee she would react any differently toward me. She could still walk away, still leave me without an heir or a princess to one day rule my kingdom alongside me.

It was a lot to ask of someone who didn’t know the ways of royalty. In some ways, the woman I married would be trapped in this gilded cage right alongside me, with no freedoms and every eye cast directly upon her.

When one put it that way, I could see why Kinsley thought better of venturing into any relationship with me. Who the hell would want to give up everything she had worked so hard for in exchange for a life of unrivaled structure?

Kinsley fought for everything in her life. She worked her way up from nothing with a partner of equal grit and rigor. She demanded the very best from her life. And it was everything she deserved.

I didn’t want to confine her to this misery, just so that we could wallow in it together.

It was all for the best. I would marry Allegra and cut myself off from all other notions of love and freedom. Even if I found someone to love again, this would not be the life I wanted them to have.
