A/N: I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER FOR THE LONGEST TIME NOW.
For the first time in a while, I feel bad. I feel bad for Y/N. Assuming her parents didn't let her know about our engagement, it's no wonder she's confused by everyone's sudden attention. I want to answer everything but it would be unbecoming of me as a gentleman and to isolate ourselves would only make matters worse.
Still, that's not to say I didn't enjoy seeing her trying to disguise the desperation in her voice as she asked me questions. Not only that, and I'll never tell her this to her face, but Miss Y/N does clean up nicely. If I were stupid and superficial, I would've simply noted that Y/N looked stunning and I would've accompanied the stupid statement by saying that I was now excited to eventually marry her.
Still, Miss Acacia lingered in my heart. How could I ever let her go to make room for Y/N? I could abandon my duties as the heir to my family business but I wouldn't be able to give Acacia the life she deserves. Not to mention, say what I might about her, Y/N didn't deserve to be deserted.
I haven't seen Miss Acacia in such a long time. I had stopped looking for her after my parents forbid it. It caused a mild ache in my heart to think of her being with another man but it was nothing compared to the fury of forgotten jealousies.
I glanced at Y/N as she sat alone, against the wall, nursing a glass of wine she'd no doubt pour out into one of my mother's potted plants. I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't feel anything for her. I know I've said snarky things in the past but Y/N was a loyal ally, honestly one of the kindest souls I've met and not to mention, extremely bright. It would be foolish of me to reject her, even if she is insufferable.
These difficult decisions are at me. Miss Acacia is miles away and I don't exactly know my place in her mind. On the other hand, I know I'm held in high regard by Y/N, but I don't want this to some passing folly. I don't want to marry her just to be deeply in love with her only to get bored with her. She deserves better.
