The two wedding processions collided head-on.
Barrett looked at Rafael, and Rafael looked back at Barrett.
Their gazes met, and Rafael felt nothing but gratitude. He was thankful Barrett had abandoned Carissa. However, gratitude was one thing—the fact that Barrett had previously wronged Carissa was another matter.
Barrett's eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions. Once, he had been just as passionate and proud while bringing Carissa into his home. Back then, he had felt like the happiest man in the world.
Yet, fate was cruel.
Now, Carissa was the Hell Monarch's princess consort, while Barrett had married and divorced different women, never truly finding fulfillment.
Because of that, Barrett's complex gaze was filled with traces of envy, jealousy, resentment, bitterness, discomfort, and heartache. At this moment, he seemed to fully realize that he and Carissa could never go back—there really was no connection between them anymore.
It was this clear realization that led Barrett to say this as they passed each other:
"Congratulations, Your Highness, on marrying my discarded ex-wife."
He knew how irrational he sounded. He understood the gravity of his words, and the possible wrath of the Hell Monarch.
Despite that, there was no immediate consequence.
Rafael merely smiled at him, reined in his horse, and replied softly, "Thank you for being blind. It allowed me to marry the one I truly love."
Barrett was taken aback, watching as Rafael led his procession away in high spirits.
What had Rafael meant by that? The one he truly loved? Wasn't Rafael's marriage to Carissa a matter of necessity?
After Rafael and his procession had moved away, his smile faded.
Dammit, Barrett was asking for trouble.
Dylan, who was leading the horses, had overheard the exchange and asked quietly, "Shall we deal with him?"
"Tomorrow!" Rafael uttered firmly.

I wish there were more chapters uploaded daily. Atleast 10 per day....

I’ve read several novels, but this is the best of the best....
I hope that Rafael will not fall for Carmen. I don’t think I can keep reading if he does. Carissa deserves to have a pure and strong love with Rafael that world stand the test of time and all trials and tribulations....
