Three days in bed has made her restless. Sasha had told her that Caleb had woken up, the hit on his head was not fatal. She would hate all their plans to go to waste if something happened to him. She was still in pain, but the pain medication had helped a lot. From inside her room, things seemed to have gone back to normal. From time to time, she listened in on the conversations that went on in the hallway. The past three days Sasha had to help her with even the smallest of things. She could not take a bath due to pain, and she could not fix the bandages on her back by herself. It was the first time she had to rely on someone this way.Caleb only entrusted a small amount of people in his house. It was evident that he had a target on his back, it was just sad that his people were also in on it. It just comes to show that you can’t trust anyone. She looked up as there was a knock on her door. “Miss Summons, are you awake?”She knew the voice all too well. “Yes, Jim.”Jim had

“It can only mean one thing, we have been infiltrated.” Keira heard Caleb’s voice when she walked down the passage. She slowly moved closer, trying to be as silent as she could. Careful not to make a noice.“Do we have any other information?” She heard Jim ask.“No, but from now on we must be extra careful.” There was silence for a moment. “I do not like where this is going.” Caleb sounded worried“What if they find her, do you think it has something to do with Keira?”“We will have to come up with a plan. For the time being, let's move to Soarsa. We will have to move out of the limelight and blend in.”“Lakeview is also an option,” Jim responded.“Lakeview is too far from the second base, I would like to have Alexander close by.” Another pause. “We should put the plan in motion before too many people notice. Please go and ask Miss Summons if she has time to come and see me.With that, Keira tried to move away but knew she was caught before taking the first step.“Miss Summons?

Like a Giant, the City came into full view. It was unlike anything Keira had ever seen before. The walls had a mirror-like shine but were black in color. There were small observation posts around the wall that hosted guards to defend the city. Closer to the gates it became more busy. She was not used to this amount of traffic. Hoovers were all over, small, big, carriers then there was the odd contraption here and there. She was expecting way less than the picture in front of her.“Be calm, I can see you are overwhelmed. They are going to test you at the gate, I am going to ask that you go first. Hopefully, when they get your results they won’t be bothered with me.” Caleb looked out in front of him and she knew for him coming back here would be torture.The road towards the entrance had huge rows of trees and gardens, this reminded her of pictures she had seen of castles it was flamboyant like you were entering a different dimension. This was for the rich and they spared no ex

“I will take the bed thank you,” Keira said already making a run for it.“You know this is a super king-sized bed, a whole family can camp out here and invite their pets,” Caleb answered unbothered by her actions.“I do not know what type of sleeper you are, you might think you are catching culprits and wander off to my side of the bed.” Keira eyed the luxurious silk nightgown spread on the bed. Her fingers glided over the soft fabric.“Miss Summons I most definitely do not wander in my sleep. Also don’t worry, you are not my type if you were wondering.” Caleb said grabbing the men’s pyjamas from the bed and continuing to walk to the bathroom.They had just returned from the dining hall, and Keira had eaten things that she had never heard of before. They cross-pollinate a lot of fruit trees to get a lot of different varieties. Meraki also has a vast amount of fruits that only grow here. Her grandfather was in meetings and she had heard from Cassandra that he had to inform the cou

“You will be fine.” Caleb turned his back as he put on a white long-sleeve shirt.Keira caught a glimpse of his bare back; she was getting used to him. An old married couple, she thought. They surely bicker like an old couple.“My grandfather does not seem like a people person.” She responded worriedly.“He is not from what I remember, as I recall Cassandra has always been the attentive one between the two. I don’t think your grandmother ever recovered from losing your mother, she had always seemed like she was alone. You still need to meet your cousins, I wonder how they turned out.” He shrugged and took out a pair of pants from the drawer.“They are probably a breeze, I don’t think they will adapt to me coming into the picture.” Luckily for Keira, she will only meet them with her welcoming party. “Cassandra did say that she will speak to my grandfather regarding our engagement. I am sure she already did as you are coming to dinner.”“The West family dinners, I was part of that
