Iris:
The moment I decided that, Luca's eyes narrowed, and it was clear he did not like my decision.
"No, it is true. I think that would be the right decision," I added, nodding and biting my bottom lip as I tried to hold back my cries.
"It is over, Luca. I do not want to stay here. I want to go back home. I want to be the princess that I am," I continued.
I finally decided this as I watched Luca look disappointed.
Behind him, my mother was smiling proudly.
She did not know what I was going to do.
I was not only going back to take the crown.
I was going to challenge Kash for the Blue River water.
I was going to make sure he did not get to enjoy the wedding he had waited years for.
The same wedding he threw my entire love and life away for.
My mother walked out of the room while I remained standing, staring at Luca.
"What have you done?" he asked quietly. "You do not have to surrender to her demands. Iris, this is not fair."
