Everyone, except Araye, looked forward to the crown prince's arrival. Despite her disinterest, she didn't expect that the crown prince would be her trial—the beginning of her trials. Araye's father is the keeper of the “secrets to the gate”, an ancient scroll that contains the details of Eritonia's impenetrable walls. When Prince Dovian discovers that her betrothed is not who he claims to be, and only wants her for the scroll, he offers to marry her to save her and the kingdom. She refuses, prompting him to seek assistance from Romike, a clever but deceitful lady. Things get complicated as everything Prince Dovian does to stop the wedding fails. When Araye finally discovers the truth, hearts have been broken and hopes shattered. Staying true to her heart would be her only way out. Except, she isn't sure of anything. Not even her heart.

She crossed her legs. Unfortunately, he was the same Pastor Al who didn't realize when his wife almost lost their baby. He was the Pastor Al who… "Excuse me, ma." She looked up. "Pastor has more people waiting to see him today. He might not be done until late in the evening." She managed a smile. That was the same thing Gbenga had said last week and the week before that and the week … before … that. Late in the evening never failed to turn to late in the night. And it would have been bearable if it didn't happen every single day. &

Heat rose up my throat and I fought the urge to scream. I closed my eyes and tried imagining telling my sister how she had made me miss an online meeting with the director of the company I was supposed to process waste for. I opened my eyes, it wasn't working. The only things I was seeing were different ways of...
