Chapter 161Irene's POVEmily's sudden absence to the words I said to her somehow baffled me and I couldn't do anything to stop her and avoided Damien suspecting my sudden interest in Emily's walking out of the water.I pulled her back into the water, catching hold of her before she fell into the water, I knew she would definitely be scared that I could still catch her despite the fact that I was the one that pulled her and orchestrated her fall."You're quite heavy, eating whatever you see tends to make millions of calories in your body" I uttered as I helped her back to her feet. "How did you do it?" Emily stuttered staring into my eyes with disbelief which was a bit confusing to me. "Do what exactly?" I inquired as we sat together in the water, pretending to be playing with the water. "I didn't do anything sister, I just did what I had to do knowing that you would definitely fall off and hit your head on the little stones, so I had to save you" I explained, wondering why everyon

Chapter 163Irene's POVI dived into the pool forgetting about the whole incident and basically about Emily's intimacy with Damien."Why do you feel so odd? It seems you don't want to be here, it feels like you saw something you shouldn't have" Emily always knew the best way to shuffle my thoughts. "I didn't see anyone, I'm just not in the mood to swim again, I just want to go back home, and think about Xavier" I stuttered as I stepped back into the water. "Xavier's safe, and""How do you know he's safe, he hasn't called or sent an envelope or a letter to me, it seems you're hiding something from me" I chimed in, getting tired of Xavier's presence, I'm not even sure if he's still alive, wondering where he would be or what he would be going through in the forest all by himself."What do you mean?" Emily uttered as she stared at me, wondering if I knew what I was doing, I guess she must have filled her head with the thoughts that I was drunk, having five bottles of beer isn't enough t

Chapter 165Irene's POV"What do you mean by another attack?" I inquired, wondering if he was serious or joking about it. "The Fort has been attacked and the problem is that we don't know who's behind the attacks" Damien announced and with the look on his face, I knew that he meant his words. At this point I knew that we wouldn't be attacking them, we would let them see that there's no competition through these lands and with that we would be able to shift their eyes off our lands. "Did you say the borders?" Emily interrupted, I was infuriated wondering what Emily knew about wars, she hasn't been in a real one, and basically only watched it on her phone or probably on a tv. "Yeah the Borders;" Damien divulged as confused as I was, we both were waiting for her response as she was lost in thoughts. "Why are you asking?" I inquired, eager to listen to what she had to say. She may have a solution on how to deal with our enemies. "Well I came across a letter this morning that said man

Chapter 167Irene's POV"You all should sit back and wait, Daphne's coming""How do you know Daphne?""I don't, I just saw a lady wearing a long black cape with a bow and an arrow in her hands. She's targeted you already, lie down" She exclaimed as we all quickly laid down on the ground as the arrow, met the maids that were standing in the courtyard."We have to find a way out of here, and the best way out of this is to get into the house" Allyson uttered as she stared at us, I was scared knowing how it felt to be shot by an arrow. I could still feel the wounds it made on my body. "She's right we would be safer behind walls and not trees"Emily conceded, she just wanted to find a way to make it out of this scenario without getting shot by an arrow. "How do we possibly get into the house without getting shot?" I asked. "You all go, I'll cover you," She uttered as she beckoned us to get up, I took to my heels as I realized that these arrows had increased, staring back at where Allyso

Chapter 169Irene's POV"Speak of the devil" I muttered to myself as Damien walked into the room with tears in his eyes, bruises on his hand, it felt like he had bad news, wondering what he was about to say that made us wait in suspense."What is the main problem now" Allyson asked as she continued staring at Damien, she knew that there was something wrong with his outmost attitude, his attitude felt like someone who has words to say but couldn't say it, because of fear or he was probably protecting something."Well I can't say it here, out loud. It's confidential" Damien uttered as he gave me a wink, knowing that the news was meant for only my ears, but I stayed. I'm tired of being in a one on one situation with Damien, he might just be planning on how to seduce me yet again, and who knows this time if I would succumb. "Then we have to go upstairs" Allyson uttered as she held Emily's hands to help her get to her feet. "Leave us" I screamed as everyone turned to stare at me, Allyso
