His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2)

VIOLET: Once, he abandoned me due to secrets he chose not to share. His actions shattered my fragile heart, leaving a trail of pain. My family's unwavering love and support helped mend my broken pieces, transforming me into someone new. I am no longer the abused girl or the heartbroken woman I once was. In his absence, I've built an emotional armor, with a heart protected by unyielding steel. Despite a fleeting dream that hinted at a future with him, I can't let myself be fooled again. He may have physically healed me, but my heart remains cautious. He claims he had his reasons and seeks my forgiveness. Should I extend my trust, grant him another chance, or play his game and achieve my own goal? COLE: I realize now that leaving her was a mistake. I'm here, begging for her pardon. However, the once vulnerable princess has transformed into a formidable figure, her heart encased in steel and defenses impenetrable. Her words and gestures no longer touch me as they once did. She's learned to inflict pain, though she denies forgiving me. Yet, I crave her forgiveness above all else. I'll do whatever it takes, give her everything she desires, just short of the one thing she truly desired from me. For the second time, I'll make a sacrifice that will surely anger her, but at least I'll have her by my side, in my heart, as my wife.
