You orchestrated this

~Cassandra~

I stretched out my arms, patting the bed softly as I slowly opened my eyes. I expected to feel something… someone, lying next to me, but the space was void.

The lights from the window penetrated my eyes and my vision was blurry, rendering me unable to see clearly.

I groaned, covering my eyes with my arm as I tried to hide my sensitive eyes from the light. I shut my eyes tightly and opened them again, taking a peek at my side to see that Damian wasn’t there.

A moan escaped my lips as I sat up. I could still feel the heaviness in my eyelids.

Since I fell asleep the previous night, it was just opening my eyes. I felt so weak, and I needed that rest. I knew Damian didn’t want to disturb me and that was why he left without me noticing.

Standing to my feet, I felt stronger than usual, and I made a quick stretch, accompanied by a yawn. Making my way out of his chamber, I heard a knock on his door.

I got to the door already, so I just opened up, and it happened to be Zoe.
