Chapter 115: Welcome...

An hour went by. An entire hour passed.

I could hardly contain myself. My nerves were all over the place, and all I wanted to see was my King here. I wouldn't be able to handle another hour.

Sam stood next to me in complete silence. He almost looked like a statue, that's how still he stood. He hadn't touched me, and hadn't spoken a word to any of us. Elle and Adrian stood several metres behind us, their conversation hushed whispers. Shea had gone. Sam had sent her away with one stern look.

Guirita lingered by the water, mere inches away. Envy tugged at me, at the fact she was so close to heaven, but I knew that the jealousy wasn't mine. Something was manipulating my emotions. Something very, very powerful.

"He should have arrived by now." Adrian said with a doubtful voice. "He'll come." Sam retorted briskly, his gaze fixed ahead, seemingly ignoring me while his eyes subtly wandered over Guirita's figure. My figure.

Bastard. I can't believe he was checking her out. Well, actually.
