Chapter 142

It was hot and humid that summer evening when I walked into my room after a day-long work. I went to the nearby village on behalf of my father to solve an issue. 

A wave of cool air engulfed me as I yanked open the door which leads to the garden. I paused for a second and inhaled. Strawberry, lemon, watermelon, the zesty aromas flooded over me as I gazed around the garden. It was almost like stepping back in time.

I sat under a huge tree which spread its branches probably until a mile. I've always loved nature, and this place caught my eye. My mind echoed peace.

I tucked my hair behind my ear, closed my eyes, and inhaled the fresh air from the tree. As I glanced around I realized that I was the only one there. No guards 

Where is everyone?

Can I help you?" a male voice asked.

I turned around. The man leaning towards me took my breath away.
