Chapter 45

Once they are out of earshot, I turn back to Chole to warn her again if she did not understand the first time. “Speak to her like that again, and you’re leaving, and I’m not joking.” “You’re still in love with her?” “Yes.” I grab her bags before she can respond and start making my way to the castle. I glance over my shoulder and see her following me silently. Once inside, the laughter spills from the kitchen. “Should we join them?” I ask Chole once she catches up to me. “No, I want to rest a bit.” I nod, leading her to the second floor to a bedroom at the far end of the hallway. “Where are your bags?” She asks, looking around. “Upstairs.” I had the servant bring my bags upstairs to the third floor this morning, far away from Rega and Tron. “Aren’t we sleeping together?” She asks, which confuses me. “Why would we be?” “Right, no fucking strings. That’s what you want. Just fuck me and leave.” I sigh I knew this would happen, but I still went ahead and got myself involved with her again.
