Chapter 13 The Girl I Want To Marry

• ~Christian~
• I watched as Landon walked in with his father, his smug expression a familiar sight I had seen before. It had been years since we last saw each other, and I'd expected time to have changed him. But at one glance, he was still the same. He was still the same cocky boy I met when my parents died. His eyes locked onto mine, and that same condescending smirk spread across his face. My fists clenched instinctively, a surge of anger coursing through me, and I had the urge to punch him in the face.
• Landon's presence was a harsh reminder of our family's complicated dynamics. We shared a mother, but that's where our connection ended. He was the illegitimate son, born to a thug father. On the other hand, I was the rightful heir to the royal family. Landon always reminded me how he'd steal everything from me when we were younger. Seeing him again brought back memories I'd rather forget. His father's presence made matters worse.
