NALEDI’S POV
“Are you in or out?” I asked them, deciding it was better to end it here, to know where we stand. “Are you willing to help me save Flora?”
Saying her name aloud made her feel a lot more real. Gave her an identity.
I could tell it was a struggle for them to keep this from Caellum, being loyal to a fault. But a part of me hoped, prayed that they’d see things from my own perspective and not let a poor girl remain in the crossfires.
“I am all for having Arturo brought to book,” Marcel said and I felt a twinge of disappointment. “But if he does have someone in his hands, then we should rescue her before showing him the pit of hell.”
I didn’t know when a smile drew on my lips. I turned to Korah, expectant.
She shrugged, “Let’s save Flora. Then fuck him up.”
I agreed. Right at that moment, the waiter came and took our orders. Soon enough, we were served and while eating, we were assigned duty roles on Operation Save Flora.
