Chapter 48: From Foes to Friends

Being around Cayden for the rest of the afternoon wasn’t easy. I couldn’t lie to myself after all.

Luckily, I had the default excuse of being pregnant, so I ended up laying in bed while he focused on his work in the living area. As soon as he left, around dinner hour, I decided a nice warm shower to wash his scent off would be a great idea if I wanted to have some peace of mind for the rest of the night.

My life was never going to be normal, and the sooner I accepted that fate, the better. Regardless of how Cayden acted around me–regardless of how I put on a happy face–I had to live with the fact that I was only useful for as long as I was a breeder.

Once my task ended, so would my life.

‘Don’t cry, Tori. Tears are the most useless thing in the world!’ I told myself.

A knock on my door caused me to turn from the sofa to see who it was.
