chapter8 Shit.

I had offered three months because I would no longer be in this world by then. And if Roman still wanted me...well, he could go and sleep with my ashes. But three days? That was hard to accept.

My mask of obedience cracked for a moment.

"What about her?"

"Nothing. Stay home and wait for me, okay? Don't go anywhere." Roman chuckled.
