Two weeks later... "Are you sure about this? Don't you think you should listen to me, Damien?" Kai says to him, as he sighs briefly. They're both in the garden. For the past two weeks, he has tried to get Cassie to confess and give out the antidote, but she kept saying that she was innocent. As much as he wants to believe her, he has been finding it difficult to do. He keeps seeing reasons why she would be guilty of what she was accused of. "Yes, I'm sure of it," He replies to Kai dismissively, crossing his arms on his chest, and sighing briefly. "What if you end up regretting this? What if she's really innocent of this whole shit? What if she...""And what if she's guilty? She was the only one that does serve me, and I never bothered to ask her to taste the food. And when I changed maids for a while, I made sure that the maid tastes the food right in my presence before letting her off. What would you think if you were in my shoes, Kai? I don't want to do this, but I'm dying inside

Chapter 54Later in the evening... 'Because you're not doing the right thing' Dean's words ring in his head again, and he stops abruptly and scoffs unbelievably. No, so he was expecting him to believe that lies when his expression said something different? Was he expecting to convince him with that lies that he was wrong about his expression? He can't be fooled by him, he can fool every other person, but not him. His mind wanders off to the thoughts of Cassie, and he sighs briefly as he finally crashes on the bed. 'What if she's innocent? A man can't withstand ten whips and would confess his sins, she took forty-five and still stood her ground, didn't that convince you enough that she's innocent?' Dean's words echo in his head, and he runs his fingers through his hair. What if she's really innocent? How come it was found in her room? Those are the question he keeps asking himself until the sound of his door opening pulls his attention. Raising his gaze, he finds Kai standing there

Chapter 56"How's that even possible? You must be mistaken," Damiens shakes his head in disagreement with what his brother just told him. This is what he never expected to happen, and why should he even believe him, knowing that this is impossible? How can she be his mate? They have been together for some months now, and he's deeply in love with her, how can she suddenly become his mate? "No, I'm not. Rohan will never make that mistake, right? I can feel the bond... When I saw her in pain, I felt broken. I felt like a dagger was thrust in my heart, and I felt...""Was that why you were trying to protect her? That look... Was that why you pulled it? Was that why you looked so pained?" His questions are pointless as it was obvious, and everything is clear now, but he still feels like this is a dream, he feels like he needs to ask the questions for clarification. He can't possibly believe him just like that, right? "Yes..." Dean nods his head slowly, and he scoffs unbelievably. "Cassi

Chapter 58She gulps down nothing as she stares at him, captivated by his perfect figure. His nipples are tempting, and his perfectly toned abs almost prove to be the sexiest part of his body. She shouldn't be drooling over him, but can she help it? "My... My lord..." She stutters nervously, roaming her eyes on his body one more time before turning her face away quickly. Her breath is already hitching as she has some crazy thoughts going on in her mind. Realizing that she's almost naked, she feels embarrassed, but that's not the problem now. This man here is still mad at her about what happened, so showing up before him now is like being on a suicide mission. She should've just stayed back in her room and gotten some rest, now she has gotten herself into this mess. He stares at her beautiful body, enchanted by the beauty of her perfect body. Seeing her naked body arouses him as he feels his manhood twitch under the water, but he tries to control it. He has something to say, but his

After staying awake for so many hours, it's finally midnight, and Cassie stands up from the bed. She has arranged some of her clothes and tied them up with one cloth earlier in the evening after she was sure that Zoey was asleep. Carefully, she stands up from the bed and tiptoe to where her cloth is, and picking them up, she holds them firmly to herself and takes a deep breath. Glancing back at Zoey who's fast asleep on the bed, her heart hurts badly that she's going to be leaving her dear friend, but does she have a choice? It doesn't seem like she does. Her attention is driven to Milo, who's also fast asleep on the floor, looking so tired. Cats are not deep sleepers, but it's unclear how he has been sleeping without knowing that she is awake. Taking a deep breath again, she wipes the drop of tears that just slid down her cheek. Many questions run through her mind as she stares at her innocent friend. She wonders if she's doing the right thing. Will she regret this later? Will she
