Roark

She thinks I betrayed her. I never did.

I hurt her, but I want her back.

But she’s not safe in my world.

I wanted nothing more than to marry the love of my life and to share her with my guys, who also love her. We never discussed it. I never brought it up.

And the day of the rehearsal dinner fucked everything up. I can’t blame Ava for going on our honeymoon without me. I fucked up, but not like she thinks.

Her sister came to my room, but I resisted every step of the way. Even when she pushed me down on the bed and stripped, I resisted, trying to call my father to come take care of her. We didn’t kiss, though Ava thinks we did. What she saw was me pulling Adaline close and telling her exactly who I was and what I would do to her if she didn’t leave. Newsflash, it wasn’t sexual.

Then Ava walked in, and chaos ensued. She left and I’ve been trying to talk to her ever since.

She’s my queen, our queen. She just doesn’t know it yet.

She has no idea.
