ASHER Sophia was yet to return. I tilted my neck to my left to look up at the wall clock that rested above the door of our room. Thirty minutes had passed since seven p.m, but she was still nowhere to be seen. I had tried to call her number countless times since I returned from my meetings, but it

ASHER Being backstabbed was one thing, but being stabbed in front and still not being able to see or acknowledge your assailant was another. A heavy sign of negligence and foolishness, both of which I had been able to convince myself that I now suffered from. How else could I have been so blind an
I shook the thought off and replied with a nod and the brightest smile I could manage. “I’ll resume with the rest of my duties, your majesty.” Gaston said, before excusing himself. I watched him until he was out of my sight. My thoughts were consumed by Ivan’s betrayal until my eyes met his. He st
