She took a deep breath, her shoulders easing in as she let her guard completely down in front of me. Letting out a small bitter smile, she continued, “I’m here because I got nowhere else to go, Tessa…”

When my gaze turned sharp upon hearing her call me Tessa, she immediately realized her mistake and corrected herself in haste. “Jessa… I mean, Jessica.”

Narrowing my eyes, I asked, “What do you mean?”

She bit her lower lip in hesitation before anxiously looking around. Slowly bending down, she picked up fallen roses and admired their thorns. Staring at it, she let out a heavy sigh and shrugged defeatedly.

    Jessica’s POVAfter we had the dinner the servant had sent into his office, I helped Zane with his paperwork, reviewing some safety protocols and financing matters. After a few hours, we finally finished.“That’s exhausting! I can’t imagine how you do all this alone,” I dramatically exclaimed as I leaned back on my seat with my arms hanging on the side and head on the top of the backrest with it a little tilted to stare in his eyes.Giving out a charming smirk, he boasted, “I’m the King.”“Don’t be smug.” I laughed.“Alright, let’s get to business.” He clapped his hands and stretched out before sitting properly and pulled out a map from the drawer under his table.“Agh, maybe after a while?

Walking out from his hiding, he looked at me like I betrayed him. “Straight to violence, really? My poor, fragile heart. How dare you?”I rolled my eyes before turning around.
