Edward felt sweat trickling down his back, his hands becoming clammy as he knelt there. He couldn't believe he was in this position, groveling in front of a woman who had lost her mind.
If only Richard hadn't threatened him, he would have walked away from all of this madness. But now, he was stuck here, forced to apologize and explain himself. He would rather just straight up annul their engagement, because who wants to marry a crazy woman with an insane family?!

While Beatrice? He didn't know what would happen. Thinking back to the last time she attempted to murder him, he couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.
