POV: ALARIC
I've been on my phone all day.
Texting. Calling.
Putting out fires and lighting new ones.
Ensuring everything was under control and went as planned while preparing for this damned dinner.
Everything had to work out fine. And soon enough. Because the sooner it happened, the quicker I'd get back with Jasmine and fix what was shattering between us.
I was losing myself. Slowly unraveling, I swear it.
With the steps I have taken and with June's promise to me the other day, I was certain the engagement ring wouldn't sit too long on June's finger before I call it off.
I also had other plans to make sure King Mellors would not be able to undo the help he was about to render now when I call off the engagement. All of that is in the pipeline.
It was already time for the dinner.
My least favorite hour tonight.
