Chapter ２４

Liam was absent the entire night. God knows where he went, and when he came back, he had dark circles under his eyes and he looked exhausted enough to directly fall flat on the bed.

His brows were furrowed as he came right before the bedroom. With his tensed body, he rubbed his shoulders.

What exactly did Barbara do to him the entire night? Asked him to run a marathon? I cursed her a million more times in my heart before dragging Liam's tired looking body inside.

Seeing both of us alone, Daleri left the room.

"What happened?" I glanced at him worriedly.

"She asked me to fight five rounds with her." He undid his tie and cuffs, throwing his jacket on the couch. Walking over to the bed, his body dropped on the soft surface as he rubbed against the pillow. "I'm exhausted using my power for twelve hours straight, but because of the presence of residents, I couldn't do anything."
