The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

“I can’t be family with a mistress!”

“Allison, Declan’s had feelings for Eliana for ages.

We’re practically family with her.

Why can’t things be easier?” Leah wasn’t pleased hearing Allison defend Hannah.

“Remember, Eliana is set to be Declan’s wife…”

“I can’t stand by her.

Let’s see who dares to support her!”

Allison’s intentions to back Hannah were clear.

Eliana, tears in her eyes, murmured, “If I’m not wanted here, I should leave.

”

“Eliana!” Before she could step away, Declan intervened, “You have every right to be here with me.

”

His gaze locked onto Allison’s.

“Grandma, you know where my heart lies.

I’ve chosen Eliana as my wife.

I can’t imagine being with anyone else.

”

A sudden thud echoed.

Allison tapped her walking stick against the floor tiles, amplifying the tension in the room.

“So, she’s your chosen one… What about the sacrifices Hannah made for you? Don’t you remember? That woman abandoned you, nearly shaming the Edwards family! It was Hannah who willingly stepped in and became a part of our family for your sake.

”

Eliana’s eyes brimmed with tears as she clung to Declan.

“Allison, circumstances forced me to leave him back then.

My return wasn’t for me, but for Declan’s happiness.

If it meant he’d smile again, I’d willingly stay away forever,” she said, her voice shaking.

“But, Declan’s been miserable.

I don’t want anything for myself.

I just want his happiness.

”

Crying, Eliana buried herself in Declan’s embrace.

Gently holding Eliana, Declan addressed Allison.

“I invited Hannah over to put the past behind us.

The divorce papers are ready.

We’ll finalize it today.

”

Hannah, observing the pair’s evident love, felt no sorrow, only irony.

Their words dismissed all she’d done.

Was her past naivety to blame?

Declan shot a look Hannah’s way.

“I’ve arranged a more generous settlement for you.

”

Hannah reassured Allison with a touch before standing.

“Declan, my lawyer sent over the legally binding property agreement.

It states an equal split post-marriage.

If you missed it, I can resend.
