I thought while Scarlet looked at me impatiently. “So are you abandoning me or coming with me?” Scarlet asked again, impatiently and I pursed my lips preparing myself to refuse. “I will ensure my driver accompanies you.” I told her with finality and she shook her head at me, tossing the gift bag she got for the kids at me.“I hate you.” She sniffled and slammed the door loudly and I let out a breath. *********AN HOUR LATER:I was oblivious to the fact that Ezekial's mansion was over forty-five minutes drive and to make matters worse, there was a little traffic.

After about five minutes, I heard a knock on the door which instantly made my heart leap. “Iris.” He called out and I waited for at least five seconds before slightly opening the door.“What do you want, Jonathan?” I inquired, folding my arms, and he heaved out a breath.“I’m sorry for failing to call an
