Chapter 36: Chapter 36

*Leonora*

"Last night was everything I imagined but it doesn't change anything. I don't want you to be my Queen."

All I could hear was ringing and all I could see was black. My body felt numb and I didn't know what to do. All I could do was stare at Jax as he scratched his head and walked over to his bed. He sat down and stared at me.

"Leo, you need to sit. This is a very hard conversation." He said as he gestured to the chair in the middle of the room. My mind went back to the first time he told me to sit with him. How we ate together and shared a bottle of wine. If only I knew what he was planning to do to me. He had told me that he was going to show me that he genuinely cared. It seemed like he had failed. Terribly failed. I don't know why I was distraught. I didn't know what to say or do.
