Three hours earlier…
It was a dreary morning, grey clouds hanging low over the Robertson lands.
Abigail had hardly managed to sleep at all the previous night, tossing and
turning as thoughts of her upcoming marriage plagued her.
Ever since the king himself had decreed that she was to wed Finnian
Chattan, brother of Laird Niall Chattan, Abigail had spent several sleepless
nights. It had been two months since then, a quick engagement even by
such standards, and somewhere in that time Abigail had begun to while
away the hours by coming up with all sorts of ways to escape the marriage.
She could pretend to fall ill and stage her own death. She could forge some
documents that claimed she was already married. She could fake a
kidnapping, throwing the blame of her escape onto someone else’s
shoulders.
None of those plans would work, of course. She didn’t delude herself into
thinking she could escape this marriage, though she wished she could.
With two of her sisters married for an alliance and the other wedded to the
man who would inherit the Robertson Clan, Abigail had thought that
perhaps she could get what she wanted and marry for love. Their clan was
strong because of her sisters’ marriages; there was no need for her to find a
man with uncountable wealth or sprawling lands. He would have to be a
noble-born, of course, or at least have grown up in similar circumstances,
but her options would be wider and the choice her own.
The king’s order had come out of nowhere, though, and had instantly
shattered her dreams of ever finding love. At first, she had tried to be open
to the idea, thinking that perhaps Finnian could be a good match for her,
like her sisters’ husbands had been a good match for them, regardless of the
circumstances of their marriages. The fact that it was arranged by the king
didn’t necessarily mean that Abigail wouldn’t grow to love her husband or
that he wouldn’t grow to love her.
That hope only lasted until the moment they had met. At thirty years of age,
he was almost an entire decade older than Abigail, but he was a handsome
man, tall and broad, with dark hair and eyes that gave him an air of mystery.
He wasn’t the kind of man Abigail was usually attracted to, but she had to
admit he was objectively handsome.
His looks weren’t the issue; far from it, in fact. It was his personality.
Finnian could be dismissive at times, but he was also quick to anger, not
only towards the servants but also towards Abigail herself. The more time
she spent around him, the more certain she became that she didn’t want this
marriage at all. She could never love a man like that.
She doubted he could ever love her.
When the morning of the wedding came, Abigail left her chambers to visit
her mother’s. Every now and then, when life was particularly difficult for
her, she visited those rooms just to feel surrounded by the love of the
woman that had given birth to her, even if she had never known her.
