For a time, it felt like more than just an arrangement. Sophia believed Nathaniel might truly care for her. But her hopes were dashed when he revealed his plans for a strategic marriage, leaving her only a check and a cold farewell. He expected tears, accusations, maybe even a scene.

"Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me.
