It's been a month of it and Christian turned icy cold and began to live his life having one goal, make his money righteous. He began to hate love.
If he never loved anyone, they would never leave. His father, mother and now Merlin. He began to think that his destiny has no love for him.
The state of devastation that turns you void and no matter how much you want to cry at your ravage, no tears dared to spill out and ease your heart and you could feel the rushing of agony in your vein, stirring your mind.
The feeling of emptiness residing in his heart. The state of destruction he is going through is incomprehensible for him.
He is left with only a promise he made to his mother. The promise to make Sophie his bride but he knows that if he suddenly appears on her doorstep saying this, this will make matters worse.
He just wants to live his life protecting Sophie and fulfilling his promise.
