Days had passed, but I had never seen Cassius’ face. I’ve never met him during my walk around the palace, and he never even visited me or rested at night in our room. It seems that he doesn’t want to see me anymore. I don’t care if he doesn’t. I’m just worried if he is properly eating and resting after telling me that heartbreaking story that happened to his family. I’m beginning to think that he may have approached me that night at the party because he recognized her and knew who she was. Then... What am I doing here? If he knew who Melantha was and what she had done to cause his family's demise, he would be furious. Why did he insist on taking me here and even go to the trouble of marrying me? Revenge? Is that it? No, it can’t be. If he was thinking of revenge, he would have done
