America's P.O.V. 

"I read them. I loved them." I whispered

"I don't know what I was thinking." He huffed

"Maxon. Please. Don't do this. I love you." I pleaded, face crumbling

"You put a smile on your face and you leave it on until you leave this room." He growled under his fake smile

I put on a weak smile.

"Good. I'll be glad when you're gone." He said, turning back to Kriss

I stared at my lap, calming my breathing.

Gavril welcomed Maxon, Kriss, and I and handed the microphone to Maxon.

"People of Illea! Thank you for supporting me through-out this whole process. I feel so grateful to meet these 35 young, talented, beautiful, women. And as for my choice, please give it up for..............." The room held it's breath

"Princess Kriss!" Maxon announced

Kriss let out a sob and threw herself at Maxon, kissing his face all over.

But the room didn't applaud. 

"Give it up for Princess Kriss." Maxon ordered

The room erupted in weak applause. 

I posed for a few photos and left the room.

I couldn't believe I let myself love again. And with the prince. So stupid.

I silently walked back to my room.

"Lucy, Anne, Mary?" I sobbed

"Oh, My lady!" Anne ran in, followed closely by Mary

"Where's Lucy?" I asked

"She's with Aspen." Anne reported

I nodded. Sensible.

"Come on. Let's show the prince what he missed." Mary said

I smiled a bit and stood up.

They dressed me in a gorgeous blue dress.

They hid my tear stains, and put on light make-up.

At the steps of the palace doors, Maxon and Kriss, arm-in-arm, were bidding goodbye to the Selection guests.

Bravely, I stopped next to the new couple.

"Congratulations, Kriss, Maxon." I curtsied and left.

Subtly I peeked back. Maxon's eyes weren't on me, but on his fiancee, Kriss.

This was it. I stepped into the limo and drove away from the cage. The cage I had learned to love. The cage were I had felt true love.
