His treacherous wife.

FAR FROM A FUCKING FAIRYTALE

JARED

Icould barely believe it.

In fact, I wouldn't have believed it at all had it not come from Ella. Because I knew that if anyone else other than my brother had approached me with the possibility that Lerna was responsible for what had happened, then that person would not have been standing for long. Anger would have taken over and the person trying to convince me of this shit would have known a world of pain.

I never imagined her capable of such a thing. In fact, it felt as if our entire marriage had been nothing but a lie. Nothing but a way to trap me with the sole purpose of bringing us to this point. I had to ask myself why, though? Had she been forced? Had she been coerced in some way? Had this all been down to that bastard Koro? Had he been the one to pull the strings all this time and if so, for what gain? It made little sense, considering all of this was only ever going to make me more powerful.

And because of his involvement, I had already claimed my revenge on Koro. I’d had him bound to his curse, as I knew that he had been involved, just like the others I had got revenge on eventually. But nothing had ever prepared me for the idea that the one that had slipped by unpunished was my own fucking wife! And why was she so willing to die that day? I still didn't understand what gain any of them had in this, but I knew I would stop at nothing to find out.

However, right now, that was not where my focus was.

No, it was solely on Ella.

I knew how difficult it had been for her to tell me this. I'd seen the pain and the guilt in her eyes. I had seen the endless tears flow. Which meant I also couldn't blame her for keeping it from me, as I was hardly in a position to do so. Not when I, myself, had made wrongful decisions in the past about not telling her things in fear of what her reaction may be. Meaning that I knew that she had held that same fear about me when it came to this. That she too had been worried about what my own reaction would be, and whether or not I would believe her or continue to take the word of my wife. I wish she had trusted me sooner. Trusted that, no matter what my initial reaction would be, in the end, I would take her word over anyone else’s.

Including Lerna’s.

Gods but it felt like a kick in the teeth. Just another betrayal from someone I thought was close to me and now I was questioning everything about our short past together. Now believing that having me save her on that side of the road had all been part of the plan. Just some ruse, along with a sham of a marriage and falling in love was all just part of the game she played.
