CHAPTER 17 Believe Me or Her

  Lottie's POV

  "Ah!" I didn't avoid Joseph's attack because I was thinking about how to get Alfie to agree to marry me. He punched me hard in the chin.

  Training was stopped, and he immediately brought me an ice pack.

  "What's been going on with you lately? You've been so absent-minded during training."

  I sighed deeply and asked, "How can I make a man obey me?"

  If it weren't for the fact that witches had disappeared, I would have found a witch to make me some potions that would make people obedient. Then all my troubles could be easily solved.

  "That's easy! Make that man fall in love with you. A man will only obey the woman he loves."

  I looked at Joseph in surprise. His words instantly sparked a new idea for me. I excitedly held his hand and said, "Jos, you are so smart!"

  If I could make Alfie fall in love with me, then getting married would be a piece of cake, right?!
