Tarah parted her lips, eager to speak but unable to find the right words. Deep inside, it felt like a dream come true for her. As a woman, she also yearned for a fairytale-like relationship, dreaming of building a family with her brother Levi by her side. She had envisioned that idyllic life with Ezekiel.
She had harbored feelings for the prince long before meeting him in person, nurturing them in her heart for years. Prince Ezekiel had been her solace, alongside Levi, who provided her with strength and purpose. Despite enduring hardship under Devon's reign, Prince Ezekiel became her beacon of hope as she meticulously crafted and executed her plan.
Ezekiel reached into his pocket and gently placed a ring, resembling a family heirloom, into her palm. "There's no rush, Tarah. I'm willing to wait for your decision," he murmured with a smile, leaving her still speechless.
