FEAR AND CONSEQUENCES.

CHAPTER 59

****

Zeke's POV

I glanced at the wall clock in the familiar room, anxiety rushing through my veins. I hated all of this, but there was nothing more I could do.

Soon, I heard the creak of the door. Knowing exactly who it was, I didn't bother to look back. I had been expecting him. In fact, I had been coming here every day at this exact time for the past five days, yet there was no trace of him. Now, I looked like nothing more than a fool standing here with no purpose.

"Lord Zeke?" That voice. It came as little more than a whisper, as if he didn't want anyone to hear him. He silently closed the door behind him.

"You shouldn't be here, Lord Zeke," he said again. But I didn't answer. I didn't even move. I simply stood with my back to him while he spoke.

"You know the consequences of this, don't you?" I finally said, turning to face him. Fear was written all over his face.
