If one of them thinks that this relationship is progressing, then that is a big mistake. Arriving at the bridge, Elora released her hand from Caspian’s grasp. Elora struggled to pull away, not because Caspian was holding her back, but because the screams of her inner voice seemed to have gone mad.Javier greeted Elora with a towel, then he helped Elora dry her hair. Caspian separated himself and went with an assistant to change his clothes.“Excellent, El!” said Madison. “We got a really excellent picture today!”Everyone clapped, but not Elora and Javier. Javier understood how restless Elora was now. What Javier didn’t know was that Elora wasn’t nervous because she wasn’t comfortable with Caspian. Quite the opposite.“Are you okay?” Javier asked, when everyone was no longer paying attention to Elora.Elora paused in one glance before nodding. “You should try it sometime.”

They have completed the ad shoot. Elora started her leave a few days after the project closing meeting, making sure everything was in order before she left. Javier cried like a baby on Elora’s last day at work.“I’m not dead, Javi.” Elora rolled her eyes after saying that.Javier grabbed the tissue box on Elora’s desk. “I’ll miss your stinky body every time I do a commercial, El.”“Damn you.” Elora cursed, but her lips curled into a smirk. “We can see each other every time you want it. But tell me a few days earlier, so I won’t take a bath until I see you.”“That’s disgusting.” Javier’s tears immediately stopped.Elora didn’t say anything about moving to Caspian’s house, and until this moment Elora still hasn’t told Javier about her relationship with Caspian. Javier also seemed tired of pressing Elora and waiting for Elora to tell

It didn’t take long for Zed to dig up information about Elora. With the help of some of his friends in Auckland who hold key positions in the police and government, Zed returns to Queenstown with some news.Zed arrived at Caspian’s house at night, to find the Alpha sitting lazily in an iron chair on the veranda of his room, accompanied by a bottle of Pinot Noir 2010 wine. Caspian drank it straight from the bottle.“A tough day?” said Zed. Caspian just glanced at him without a smile. “I got a lot of information,” Zed continued.“Starting tomorrow, teach her self-defense.” Caspian ignored Zed’s words and said something else.“Self-defense?” Zed raised one eyebrow. “With me?”“She hates me,” Caspian said blandly. “My future wife hates me.”Zed knew this was inappropriate, but he wanted to laugh at seeing and hearing Caspian now. Caspian wore a

Unexpectedly, it turned out that practicing with Zed was quite fun. Elora didn’t know why she could feel comfortable with Zed, but it wasn’t something important to question. Maybe now Elora’s trauma is starting to heal? She hopes so.Elora returned to the castle when the sun was high. Zed took her out for a meal in the castle dining room, which was as large as the studio at Dreamcatcher. The room was empty because it was just the two of them. A long table was pinned to the wall, filled with all kinds of food you would normally find in a family restaurant. It confused Elora about which one to eat.Zed accompanied Elora to eat at one of the two long tables arranged in the center of the room. Wooden benches without backrests surrounded the table. Elora sat on the side facing the long line of windows on the wall. Elora could see the castle’s lush forecourt from here.“Where’s everyone?” Elora asked, looking around.&l

Elora heard the sound of cracking. Her eyes caught the faint light dancing in the darkness. It took her a long time to realize that her eyes were still closed. Elora opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her sight was a burning fireplace. Yellow, orange, and gold light filled the room with warmth.Elora was wrapped in a blanket, which wasn’t thick enough to dispel the shivers that were attacking her whole body. Elora blinked slowly, feeling a cold and sore that she didn’t know where it came from.Her memory revolved around the incident in the room, when Caspian gave her food and then they had a fight, again. Where is Elora now? This place is so unfamiliar. Elora lay on the sofa in front of the crackling fireplace.“I thought you’ll be wake up tomorrow.” Caspian appeared from a dark corner of the room. Elora’s breath caught when she saw Caspian, who seemed to have been fighting with a bunch of thugs. Scratches extend
