Emily narrowed her eyes at her, "Give me one reason why I should believe you?"
"Victoria was actually the one paired with Darniel, she was always better than me in terms of everything. She always thought with her head, a duty before heart mentality, but not me, I always thought with my heart and believed love could conquer anything."
Hope laughed, "Even change a sadistic psychopath." She looked down, "Darniel and I grew up together, I loved him so much, but even during our time growing up, he never looked at me the way I wanted him to."
"When the council announced that he would be wedded to Victoria, I was heartbroken. I was sure Victoria was going to rub it in my face, but she actually approached me with a deal to get out of the marriage and switch husbands."
Emily folded her arms, "What was the deal?"
"Victoria told me she would get Darniel to fall in love with me and forget all about you if I brought you to her and got rid of Daniella."
