Aella walked into her room with her shoulders drooping down out of exhaustion. She closed the door behind her and looked up when she saw Bane in the room.
Somehow, a huge sigh left her lips out of relief when she saw him. Taking a few steps, she embraced him tightly and buried her face in his chest.
Bane wasted no time as he cuddled her warmly with his hands rubbing her back from comfort.
Aella didn't know why but she felt tears warming up in her eyes from the silent gesture. She didn't know how much she needed someone who she could lean on as much as she did now.
She felt wronged by the accusations Aurelia threw on her head just because she tried to stop the proposal. Even more, she felt scared and threatened with the Crown Prince having ill intentions with her family.
