Seeing her turn to leave, William Lee once again stepped in front of her, blocking her path. "Felicity, listen to me. The misunderstanding on your coming of age ceremony was a set-up by Emily Hanson, that despicable person. She drugged my wine, and that's why I ended up with her...with her..."
Keira Leaf crossed her arms, her expression mocking as she looked at the man before her. "My dear brother, do you still think I am the naive young girl I was back then? Do you think I would believe your excuses?"
Enchanted by her every gesture, William Lee felt a tightening in his throat. He never realized that the once dull and foolish woman could become so captivating.
"Felicity, you have to believe me, I do truly love you... I have never forgotten you over the years, and have always been thinking of you. I even used my connections to try and save you from prison, but...but in the end, I failed to rescue you."
