Chapter 117 Why I Had To Say No

• Axel's POV
• It felt like my foolish heart was doing splits at the thought of marrying Lisa, while my brain was ironing out a million reasons why it would make sense- the spearheading reason was the fact that she'd betrayed me less than a month ago and made me feel immeasurable pain as a result.
• That didn't stop my heart from doing summersaults at the fact that I didn't have to lift a finger this time around, and somehow we'd gotten the blessings I would've given anything to get from both of our families. The offer felt surreal to me, I could hardly believe my ears when my father said it, and even now I doubted I'd heard right.
