Chapter 38

"Alright, shall we?" Nisha says drawing my attention towards her.

"Sorry I..." She halts, squinting her eyes and observing my features.

I'm sure she could see the fear lurking in them.

Turning to the side of the hallway Lord Perry walked through he was gone.

I rub my elbows nervously knowing that is no empty threat.

Lord Perry is a wealthy powerful man: two elements that can get him anything he wants.

What did he mean by that?

"Hailey, what's wrong?" Nisha asks, troubled.

"No nothing" I lie, my voice betrays me by wavering.

"You sure?" She pushes.

"Yes," I say with more force, managing to smile.

"Alright let's go shopping, I'm starving and stressed, though I would have loved to hit the spa but Elijah doesn't like the idea of me being exposed in a room when he's not in charge, I'm sure Jaden wouldn't mind would he?" She starts the conversation as we head through the hall.
