The Truth Of The Contract

Lavanya narrowed her eyes. “Hey! Stop threatening my Brother.”

Eden chuckled. “I was just having fun with him.” He placed his hand on Ray's shoulder. “I know you think that I will always treat you as a bodyguard, but it's not like that anymore. Don't forget that Lavanya has accepted you as her brother, which means we also have a relationship now.”

He hugged Ray. Lavanya smiled, looking at them as they broke the hug. She held Eden's arm and turned to Ray. “You're supposed to give a gift to me as a ritual.”

Ray quickly asked, “Tell me, What do you want?”

“I will tell you when I need something from you. Promise me you'll give that gift to me no matter what I ask for.” She stretched out her hand in his direction, and Ray placed his hand upon her hand. “I promise.”
