DEVON
My words seemed to work on Mr Bell because my face was still bruiseless. Elena had already given me a heads-up about how her father used to shoo away any boys who dared to come anywhere near her.
She complained about how he was the reason for her loveless, single life.
But in all honesty, I was grateful to the man for guarding that shining star for me. Though I still believed that I had no feelings for Elena, I was after all an egotistic man who wanted his woman only to be his!
"I can understand all your concerns, Mr Bell. I am not going to promise stars and moon for your daughter. Though I am the withholder of Sanders' name, I still have a long way to own it in my capacity.
Her life will not be sunshine and roses after marrying me, it never was."
