King '! I never found this title amazing anymore. After I lost my son & mate, I blamed this position for all of my misery. I should have chased my happiness harder. Now look at me! I was broke and a mess. I spent most of the time drinking wine. Only wine made me forget about the pain that I was hiding from the whole world.
Anastasia took my hand and squeezed it hard, her voice coming out as a whisper,
" I don't care about the position or publicity. You are my brother. I just want you to be happy."
Tears brimmed my eyes. I didn't cry for a long time but her words made me emotional. In my family, it was only him who valued my happiness. I whispered back my reply, fighting with the tears in my eyes,
" They are never.. coming back to me, Ana.. Oksana won't forgive me again."
