CHAPTER 31

Emilia’s POV

I was about to leave when I heard Nivaan’s furious voice coming from a tent. He seemed pretty upset and I couldn’t stop myself from checking on him. I moved the canvas of the tent to one side and peeked inside. Valence and Nivaan seemed to be engaged in a heated conversation.

I tried hard to ignore the fact that Nivaan’s shirt was lying crumpled on the ground but it was useless. Envy and despair gnawed at my insides. I closed my eyes, clenched my teeth, and tried to walk away but my feet wouldn’t move.

I stood and watched as Valence and Nivaan argued back and forth; the topic being me and my son. No surprise there. No woman can bear her man to be associated with another. What shocked me was Nivaan’s reaction.

“I have realized that I can’t be unfair to Emilia anymore,” his words were like a soothing ointment to my burning heart. Valence didn’t give up; when words didn’t work she used her magic. She even threatened to kill me and my son.
