Emily felt every ounce of strength left in her body drained just to answer that question..
No matter how strong and unaffected she tried to make herself feel around the Sterling family members she still couldn't run away from the aura which was as intimidating as the mountain..
Though she promised herself not to be wronged but at this time…she couldn't shake off that silent reminder at the back of her mind ... .always telling her how unworthy she is.
How undeserving she is to stand in their midst and beside Lucian..
How she was the third party and how the groom was never hers.
Even when she tries to explain her desire to be set free it has always silenced her.
"You're polite." Lady Helena's voice cut through her thoughts. Her lips curved, but Emily was certain it wasn't a smile.
Lady Helena glanced at her then at the seat before her but then she couldn't bring herself to ask her to sit.
The silence was suffocating.
