Catherine's POV
Joaquin was lying. I came here all by myself one last time to throw all the gifts that Joaquin gave me. I am here to remind myself that I don't need to be in that toxic relationship. That I am now saved and will be cherished by Guillermo Escalante but…
Joaquin came and started mocking me. He told me that the path I only have is to be his second wife and someone that will cater to his needs in bed.
He told me that he spread a rumor to gossipers that I was no longer a virgin and gave myself to a son of a duke.
That's the reason why I was crying when Guillermo arrived and saved me along with Lady Avira. I screamed too loud so that Joaquin would stop talking.
