Chapter 31

Chapter 31 MILA After dinner, I had to leave. I promised Rhea that I’d visit her soon for the sake of her possible connection with my personal bodyguard, Kent. She denied it, of course, and even threatened to cut off my head. It was late into the night by the time we arrived at Dawson’s villa. Once we were there, Kent had to take off for the night as well. His services weren’t needed inside the house, so he left on the note that he’d resume early tomorrow morning. I didn’t meet Dawson at home, and the house was as empty as a void could be. ‘It’s 11pm already. How is he not back yet?’ I spoke within mysto I took a seat inside the living room, determined to wait for his arrival before going to bed. I brought out my phone and my dad’s. There’s currently not much I’m occupied with; I might as well continue my search into my father’s phone. It was the first search that led to the discovery of my mother’s whereabouts. It’s still very much unbelievable. She’s been out and o

Chapter 32 MILA’S POV I didn’t even know when I fell asleep. My eyes stirred awake from the bright sun’s rays filtering into the room through the glass walls. Can’t believe I slept off on the couch. I pushed off the duvet, covering my body before trying to clear the blurriness in my eyes. ‘Wait!’ I slept off unconsciously. I didn’t have the time to get a duvet and cover myself. ‘Did Dawson come back home yesterday?’ I hurried out of the couch and ran up the stairs. It doesn’t even feel like I’ve been here before. Everything feels warm and timeless. From the white marble floors to the natural stone feature walls, the details don’t scream much of its luxury and rather let it out through whispers. I hadn’t walked that much when a pivot door with no visible frame opened, followed by his figure as he stepped out partially clothed. He stood well over six feet tall, with the kind of presence that made an entire room fall silent the moment he entered. Every detail carr

Chapter 33

Chapter 33MILA’S POV I should’ve known the day was jinxed the moment Dawson brought up that witch’s name, Sophia. With her plush and sophisticated aura, you’d never be able to tell the darkness that walks around with her. I’d received a call moments ago from the hospital where my father was admitted; they needed me present to make a life-or-death decision about his predicament. Apparently, he hasn’t gotten any better, as I thought he would; he's gotten worse. Kent was here and already driving me down to the hospital. I glanced at him behind the wheel and met his gaze locked on me. He quickly looked away once he saw that I’d caught him. Well, that was weird. “Is there something you want to ask?” I could literally see his thoughts eating away at his face; he was anxious about something. He might as well just spit it out, no matter how odd it sounds.“I’ve been meaning to ask. When you said your friend just got her heart broken, what did you mean by that? What actually happened?”
