Need was a strong word but it explained house inner feelings. Darell stared at him critically, trying to ascertain if he was saying it to make her feel better.“Are you lying to me?” She asked and he cupped her face.“Don't ever try to take your life again. No matter what happens, even if we fight, don't set yourself on fire, I'm begging you.”It sounded funny to her ears but his serious expression was frightening. He meant every word of it.“Noted,” she forced a smile.“I need you to promise me,” he said firmly.“I promise,” Darrell answered, then smiled sadly. “Are we going back to the way we were or you're no longer comfortable with my presence,” she asked.It took every ounce of confidence in her to ask that question. She knew she didn't deserve to be in his space anymore.“I can't promise you that. I need to digest everything and decide I've moved on from it before letting you back in my life. I just want you to stay alive until then,” Ragi said sincerely.A part of him wanted t

“I don't get why you are so calm in this situation,” Archie companies. “Out plans are getting ruined by these Lords and you are not even bothered by it.” Cedric sat up from his comforter. “What do you want me to do? Isn't it obvious that the plan has been ruined? We need to kat low for now and strike again later.” “Lie low? That is exactly what they want us to do. Don't you get it? We need to strike while the gorund is still hot. If we wiat for the people's anger to die down, trust me, we will never get the desired effect,” Archie practically yelled. Cedirc could only blame himself for this madness. If only he minded his business and let the man focus on the filing and storage duties, this would never happened. It felt like he was dealing with a stranger. “So what do you suggest we do? According to you, the meeting has already been held and all the Chiefs already know about the fake bills so what would you have us do?” Cedric couldn't keep his voice from rising. “Why are you yel

“You did all this and you didn't think it was wise to let me know?” Styles asked. “I'm sorry, your highness but I couldn't be sure of anything. I didn't want to raise your hopes and dash it. But now, I have the artist in my custody. We need to do this court hearing immediately before they get a whiff of this and try to destroy evidence like they always do,” Ragi told him.“You have a point. I will see to that. We will have the hearing tomorrow. I will have a meeting with the Lords…”“No!” Ragi blurted and Styles raised a brow. “We can't trust any of them for sure. Let's just surprise everyone with the hearing tomorrow, arrest the perpetrators before anything ruins it,” he said. “Okay.” Styles pushed the scroll aside. “What do you think I should do, Ragi? My uncle is becoming a pest we can't ignore. You think he's about to give it a rest and then he strikes back when you least expect. I'm sure he's lying low now, thinking of another sick conspiracy,” Styles said. “We have to detain

“Look who decided to visit,” Darell grinned. Ragi walked in with the box of cookies. “Are you trying to get me addicted to your cooking?”“What? There's nothing wrong with bringing cookies for my favourite person. Except you don't like them,” he said. “I'm not complaining,” she said quickly, taking them from him before he changed his mind. He relaxed on the couch. “It feels good not to breath that mountain air. How are you settling in?” “I'm trying to decipher if that was a shade,” she munched on the cookies, “but I suppose I could get used to this.” “How are your injuries?” He asked. “Healing up. It's going to leave an ugly scar but luckily I'm a witch so I can get away with that. No one will ever know,” she said. “I will. Unless you plan on wiping my memories,” he said casually. Darell stopped eating. “What happened? Did I say something wrong?” “Do you want me to wipe it? I understand you've been having nightmares about that day. Maybe… I can erase them…” she offered.“No, th

Eisha clutched to the plate tightly as she walked into the scene happening in the kitchen. Her Daniel, the man she'd loved for almost all her life, was in the kitchen, kissing a woman he'd known for barely one month.She stomped past them to the sink and dropped the plate noisily, causing them to separate before leaving the kitchen. Daniel and Mona stared at her retreating figure.“Just to be sure I heard it right, did you say you want me?” He asked and she chuckled. “Why did you kiss me if you weren't sure of what you heard?”“Because I thought you'd push me off if you didn't mean it but you didn't. I never imagined you would want me. I asusmed your type were princes and noblemen,” he said breathlessly.“They were but now I only have one type, you. Which means I don't want you frolicking with other women because you believe you're a friend in need.”The warning sent him wheezing. “You are hilarious, Mona. Who said o frolick with women?” “Eisha can attest to that,” Mona pointed.
