“Ring, ring…”Elena was bought back to the reality by the ringing of her phone again. She took it out frustrated as she thought to herself “Who is it this time, I don’t want to deal with any other problems today”.But when she looked at the callers name a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.“Hey, you remember me now ha?” Elena asked faking an angry tone.“Missed me darling?” Liam replied in a playful tone.Elena rolled her eyes, but the warmth in her voice betrayed her amusement. “I don’t recall giving you permission to call me ‘darling,’ Liam.”Liam chuckled on the other end. “Oh? I figured after four days of being apart, you might’ve started missing me.”Elena sighed, leaning back against the railing. “You overestimate yourself.”“Really? Then why do I hear the smile in your voice?” Liam teased

Just imagining some other women in Liam’s arms shattered her heart into millions of pieces, “I am never going to come face-to-face with him once I leave this place, so I will be fine” “So you can’t see him with any other person” At this words Elena just turned her head in another direction not wanting to speak. Theodore let out a deep sigh as he placed a hand on her shoulders and squeezed it lightly. “Elle listen to me the war that is to come in the future is for the whole dragon world to face not you alone, and when this is going to happen is uncertain, you can’t waste your whole life the fear of that moment, you have to live your life” “But my death in that war is certain Theo… I cant leave more broken hearts behind” Elena said as a teardrop fell from her eye. “It’s not Elle… it’s not. Aren’t we looking for a way out? Don’t speak like that” Theodore spoke a bit frustrated. “You are speaking of the cure which we have been search

Then as they stared at each other, out of nowhere something else clicked in Liam mind as his eyes darkened as he asked in a sour tone “What about your so called fiancé? You have not kissed him before?”Elena stiffened, her breath catching at Liam’s words. The air between them grew heavier, charged with an unspoken tension that sent a shiver down her spine.“My… fiancé?” she echoed, her voice barely above a whisper, remembering the small lie she had said I the beginning which had completely slipped her mind in these past few days.Liam’s jaw clenched as he took a step closer, his piercing gaze never leaving hers. “You’re engaged, aren’t you?” His tone was sharp, almost accusing. “And yet, you’ve never kissed him?”Elena swallowed hard, suddenly feeling trapped between his presence and the cold railing behind her. “It’s… complicated.”

Meanwhile in Eldoria…Salis finally managed to reach his friend’s private laboratory.After getting out of the portal he had to travelled for more than 24 hours on foot without getting caught as this laboratory where his friend worked was a secured facility which was not open to outsiders. His friend had to pull in some favours to sneak him in discreetly.As Salis and his friend Felix reached the secured chamber, Felix keyed in the access code to his lab and the heavy metal door hissed open. Inside, a variety of advanced equipment flickered with glowing lights, waiting to be used.Once they were inside Felix said “You owe me big time for this” adjusting his glasses he continued “I had to pull more strings than I’d like to, keep this quiet.”“Don’t worry, as promised I will give you the new pill I developed for hair growth” Salis muttered distractedly, setting his bag down and pulled out t

“Knock knock…”The light knocks on her room door brought back Elena out of her thoughts.She went to check herself in the mirror, making sure her make-up was not spoilt then eased out the wrinkles on her knee length dress and smoothened her messed up hair.Once she was sure that she looked perfect she went to open the door.As the door opened she was mesmerized as she looked at Liam who stood before her, his broad shoulders and perfectly tailored tuxedo making him look effortlessly regal. The deep purple fabric shimmered slightly under the hallway’s soft lighting, enhancing the intensity of his violet eyes. His usual unruly hair had been styled slightly, though a few rebellious strands still fell over his forehead, adding to his natural charm.Elena felt her breath hitch for a moment before she quickly composed herself. She had seen Liam countless times, but tonight—tonight was different.Liam’s gaze swept over her, his expression unreadable
