Mark was stunned.
He had fully expected to be thrown out, or at the very least, met with cold disdain. Instead, Prince Alejandro had embraced him warmly, greeting him as though they were long-lost family.
The unexpectedness of it left Mark momentarily speechless.
For a brief moment, Mark's mind raced. He had come here ready to threaten Emma, to expose her past in a bid to regain control over her.
But now, things had shifted.
The prince's welcoming attitude had thrown him off balance. If Prince Alejandro knew who he really was and still accepted him so openly, then Mark's plan would have to change.
However, Mark was no fool.
He knew that with his sudden and dramatic arrival, the journalists present would undoubtedly dig into his and Emma's past.
Secrets that had been buried might soon come to light.
