"Lucky me that it was steak," she muttered dryly as she finally fixed it in place.
Sharper than a usual serving knife, it could definitely injure someone if the situation required it.
Of course, Noelle hoped it wouldn't get to that point.
Her husband was, after all, the ruler of this land. She had no doubt she would be immediately caught if she tried anything.
Yet that didn't deter her—not one bit.
Gazing at herself in the mirror, she almost couldn't recognize the person looking back. It wasn't just the dress she'd put on. It was also the look in her eyes—almost blank, and just as hopeless.
Her family had finally done it. They'd finally managed to push her off the cliff, letting her fall into the merciless abyss.
Maybe she'd known all along it would come to this. Maybe she was just fooling herself in those nice, cozy moments spent with her brother and her sister-in-law. Yet now, reality was staring her in the face.
She was all alone. Left to the wolves to fend for herself. Simply…all alone.
But Noelle was used to loneliness, just as she was used to being treated like a second-hand person. That was nothing new.
Whatwasnew was the fact that they'd dared to mess with the only person who'd ever made her feel less alone. And in her eyes, that was unforgivable.
Yes, for now she was all alone. But it wouldn't be for long. Only until she found him again. Only until they would be reunited once more.
Until then, she just had to bear it a little while longer.
"I'm coming for you, Blue. One way or another, I'm going to find you," she whispered to herself.
One might say that her obsession with Blue was unnatural. That it was simply outrageous for anyone to be so fixated on someone they'd never met.
But in Noelle's view, theyhadmet.
Their hearts had met. She'd learned for the first time in her life what it was like for someone to care about her and her opinions.
More than anything, he'd told her thatshemattered.
For the wretched little girl who'd only ever been an afterthought to her own family, that had been…everything.
Blue hadn't only taught her things about herself she'd never known, or never explored before. He'd dared her to desire more for herself.
Noelle desired him.
And she would fight the entire world for him.
He'd saved her once from the precipice. Now it was her turn to return the favor.
Quiet determination shone in her features. Slowly, the hopelessness in her gaze melted away, replaced with a strong resolve and an even stronger love.
All her life, people had underestimated her.
No more.
Starting today, she would be the master of her own destiny. And against all odds, she would find her happiness.
Thatwas a promise she made to herself.
"I chooseus," she whispered, a smile pulling at her lips.
Before, she'd fought solely for herself. Now, she had another reason.
