CHAPTER 12

  Having to see such a bright colour everyday before and after work was disgruntling for Emerald but she had to endure it because the entire house, ranging from colour theme to designs and arrangements were in her taste. Well, all except for Ori's territory.

  Emerald balanced her tray on her lap and placed the glass cup on the coffee table beside the couch she sat on alongside the bottle of coke before wearing her glasses and flipping through the novel she had been trying to read since Friday, The Seeker. She had a novel to read at work and another to read at home and she had gone really far with the new one she had picked up at work today, Bound By The Erstwhile Chains.

  “How was work today?” Oriana decided to ask, making Emerald stymie the groan that threatened to escape her lips as she finally found the mark she had made on the page she had been previously reading.
