Chapter thirty

I could feel the smiles and even though I wanted to stop smiling because my cheek now hurt from smiling too much, I couldn’t. I couldn’t resist the fact that the man I thought wanted nothing more than to punish me was actually doing all this for me.

“Stop smiling, I’d do it for anyone, especially if they risked their lives to save mine like you did.” He told me, and I chuckled. Of course, he wouldn’t.

“Why did you even risk your life to save me?” He asked me, and I took in a deep inhale, why did I even do that?

Honestly, at that moment, when I saw the arrow almost reaching him, it was like time froze. The only thing that came to mind at that time was to save him and that was the only way. I didn’t even think about my life or what would happen to me. All that mattered to me was that he was safe.

What came over me?

Not wanting to answer, I chuckled. “Will you tell me I’m special then?” I asked him, and he rolled his eyes.

“You’re not. I’d do it for anyone.” He insisted, and I groaned.
