A great rainbow was standing from the top of a mountain to the top of the other, and there was a golden powder coming down from each colour. He giggled when he saw the king's hair covered with gold.

I hold it apart with both arms just to make sure I’m seeing this right, trying to wrap my brain around the scandalous thing that Cairo Arsher actually expects me to wear under my work uniform.

I’m looking at these stones and I sure as hell know that just one of them could probably buy me a whole house. “What is something this expensive doing in a slutty little body chain?!” I’m still standing, gasping for air, when a tiny piece of paper falls out of the folds and lands on the floor.

I lay on the hospital bed for several hours, waiting patiently until the uninvited guest finally appeared. Declan came in carrying a baby bundle.

This could be any of their traps to get back at Trayaksh after all and Aarunya was no fool. The phone was suddenly cut off and a picture was sent to Aarunya in her inbox. Her hazel eyes widened as she took the scene in. There layed her mother with wires and tubes attached to her fragile body. For a second Aarunya couldn't breath as painful tears trickled down her eyes. She knew this picture was not any morphed or fake one as the woman had the same gold ring in her ring finger which she had gifted to her mother Years ago after saving money which she made from her part time jobs while giving tuitions to children.

Kaelen's face, glimpsed in a bolt of lightning, was a prayer held in the fist. "Now!" he bellowed and pushed through. The golden chain scorched up and down his chest, its heat a brand.
