Blood flowed into his cramped legs causing him to freeze for a while before he could finally feel his legs again.He made sure that Pedro had left before he attempted to come out.“Why did you save me?” he questioned. He could not believe that the person that tried to kill him and his father was right beside him. “You didn’t seem like a righteous person from the discussion you were having with your friends earlier.”Cephas cautioned himself, remembering that he was under a disguise and he could blow his cover if he kept being emotional.“I did not save you, young man. I did that for myself. You must be delusional if you think that I would go any length for anyone, especially a stranger that I don’t know and have absolutely no connections to.” She smiled and sat up properly in her chair.“Were you putting up an act when I came in earlier?

He didn’t want to seem like he was too confident. He was doing a perfect job in hiding his curiosity.“Well that is pretty easy.
