The rest of the day was pretty much a blur. Everyone was questioned for some unnecessary reason. Maxon and I kissed... a lot. We ate in silence. All eyes were on the Queen's empty chair. Then, one by one, we all went back to our rooms.
I couldn't sleep at all. Too many questions left unanswered. Why did Aspen shoot Queen Amberly? And most importantly, why wasn't he executed or at least arrested?
My new diamond ring caught my eye. Did I really agree to be Maxon's wife? For some reason, I feel really guilty. He still doesn't know about Aspen.
"America," I told myself. "He's your fiancé now, you have to tell him."
Yeah. Tomorrow morning I'd tell Maxon about my first love being my guard.
Unfortunately, I never got the chance.
"America," a stern voice said shaking me to get up.
"Hmmmmm?" I managed.
"Wake up. You have some explaining to do."
"Maxon? Is that you Oh, I have something to tell you."
In the morning, my brain doesn't start functioning until a half an hour after getting out of bed, so I still never processed what Maxon was saying. Using all my "awake strength", I managed to get off my bed.
That's when my eyes finally opened to see an unhappy Maxon.
"So, about..." he started.
"Wait," I interrupted. "Let me tell you what I wanted to tell you first. Remember the guy I was with back at home? That guy is that bastard, Officer Leger.
However, Maxon didn't seem surprised. His expression remained stable.
"What made you want to tell me?" he inquired.
"Guilt, reasoned that my fiancé has to know about my maniac- ex."
"Funny thing-- Officer Leger just confessed to having a relationship with you."

Yeah, you can tell me. I'm a liar. I know I said that my chapters will be longer, but I wanted to post this before I post a long chapter about the America/Aspen Scandal. Well, to make up for it, I'm on updating this weekend. The worst thing is you readers are literally the best and I'm giving you guys a short chapter. 100+ reads... *thinking what a failure I would be without you* the next chapter has so much potential, so I'm grilling my brain to think up something good (hopefully) Reminder that Kiera Cass owns the characters. Luv ya guys~Mariahkeepscool
