An Act

The slight shake of a head could stop wars. Who would have thought this could be true?

But Archie's life was saved by that slight nod and the scratch of her neck when Damien shifted at his seat. His eyes narrowed but his grip on the dagger loosened. 

"I am leaving him only because you need him." was written all over his face, "but you have to pay me later." was what he whispered loud enough to echo in her ears. 

Archie raised a brow. Was he invited to see their sweet nothings? Did they want to show off their relationship or she wanted to show her powers so that he could not refuse her later? Ha! He wanted to laugh at the thought. No wonder this woman wanted to avenge her husband. She must be a shallow person who could not let go of the past.
