Damian stopped and turned when he knew who it was.Enzo sprinted towards him "You are leaving without saying anything to your friends” Enzo smiled.

They have been friends since childhood and since they took on their different roles and responsibilities they have hardly seen.“I just miss my friends, the last time we stood to speak like this was two years ago.

There is a big possibility that his aunt and other members of the family already heard that she tried to escape and is unwilling to stay.

Today is not the day I plan on mating you, I will only do it when we finally become intimate, that is when you finally recognize me. Do not worry because I have a lot of patience”Hearing this, Althea’s mind became relaxed. She doesn’t fully trust him but she has to take his word for it.
