Chapter 50: Adelaide.

My mind struggles to come to terms with what just happened and I find myself blinking repeatedly.

There is disbelief on my face, pure disbelief and unbridled shock.

How the hell did that just happen?

My eyes drift to Raymel's form still passed out and unconscious under the contents of the table he had crashed into. My heart twists immediately at the sight of him.

He had looked really angry and annoyed with himself, like he couldn't help but feel stupid that he had trusted someone like me. I know what he was really annoyed about was the fact that he had underestimated me.

Or rather underestimated Cain and all his badassery.

Cain was the one who helped me get into this gown, helped me braid my hair, helped me apply the light makeup now on my face and he was the one who told me to splash some of the champagne on my dress when I came here. He didn't tell me why, just said I should do it.

He had also told me some other things, things I realize I have to thank him for when the time comes.
