Daelan POV
The screen in front of me is flooded with headlines, each one dissecting my life as if I were some rare specimen.
Breaking News: Richard Morne's Heir Announced.
Fiancée of Emmaline Morne – Who is Daelan Crowe?
Cinderella Story? From Sector Z to Son-in-Law of the Mornes.

Every major news station, every online forum, every hunter website has something to say about me. Some speculate that I'm merely a political pawn, a tool Emmaline's father is using to solidify alliances. Others question my worth, wondering if I have anything to offer beyond a pretty face.
And then there are the comments—the ones filled with mockery, disbelief, and unwarranted hatred.
How long until she gets bored of him?
What's he even bringing to the table?

Can't believe Richard Morne allowed this.
