Chapter 410

Taken aback by the question, Kate did not know how to answer. She could feel Ahsan’s dark eyes boring into her and knew what he was thinking—that she had callously married Farhan knowing that she would soon be a rich widow. It wasn’t true, of course, and as she thought of the man she had married a year ago, she suddenly relaxed and met the king’s gaze. "Yes, I loved him," she said honestly. She had not been in love with Farhan, but he had been like a big brother to her. He’d been the only person apart from her foster parents who had been prepared to give her a chance and accept her for the woman she had become, rather than the unhappy and rebellious teenager she had once been.
