Sam's POV There I was, inside the hushed room where stillness hung thick - just the faint pulse of an old clock breaking the silence from its high shelf spot. Light spilled across the floor from my tablet, screen bright with one bold red ring circling the current day. Six months. Six months left before the deal ends.

Toward whatever end is waiting. Twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes. I'll be there in four.

"Yes. Thirty hours. Home by 6. Like I promised." "And oral arguments in November?" "I'll prepare during work hours. No late nights." "And if that's not enough time?" "Then I'll make it enough.

"Your father and I will divide the family assets equally between you and Lily. Even if you never work again, you'll live comfortably." Mom sliced some fruit and poured me a glass of milk.

He laughed hysterically, clapping me on the shoulder as he walked away. "See you tonight!". Speaking of Rayna and tonight. My mind snapped back to the present. I looked up at the massive clock hanging on my bedroom wall. It was already 5:00 PM.

In the next twelve hours. Starting now.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​..

She explains. A week. That is seven days. Adding to the days remaining before the royal hunt which begins this week Saturday it makes it almost twelve days. Twelve days minus the twenty days I have left and that is eight days remaining. Eight days is not enough. "What time is it?" Ruby stands up, looking out of the window. I follow her gaze and realize that the sun is already up. "it's noon—or almost noon I guess." "Then let's go." "Go where?

Once the engine started I took out my phone and started typing. M: I'll be there in 2 hours make sure everything is ready before my arrival Number: Would do sir, the package arrives in 25 minutes M: Perfect! Zuri POV: I know something is going on with Matt but I don't want to oppose the matter. Exiting the guest bedroom I go toward our room "Zuri wait up " James shouts at the end of the hall.
