Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 105 I’ll make it right without losing all of their trust.

“Enzo?” Doris whispered and glanced back at the door behind her to make sure Joseph hadn’t come back from the loud sounds. She hurried across the room and climbed on the dresser to see him better. “What are you doing out there?”

“I came to talk to you, of course.” He grinned. Doris wished she could hug him and strangle him at the same time. Now was not the time for his charms, even though she kind of missed him these past few hours. She tried to peer around him but only a rush of cold air greeted her face and chilled her cheeks. “He’s not here, love.”

“Why aren’t you inside talking to me? You own Life Pharmacy, don’t you?”

“Ah, I do. Currently, as you know, we have come to a bit of a disagreement and I’m afraid my appearance here will only shake the waters more than necessary. I just needed to speak with you for a bit without making it worse.”

“Where is William?” Doris asked, and almost cursed herself for it.

“He’s fine, he’s pacing my camp like a wild animal and growling at anyone that comes near him or mentions your name. As you can tell, he’s perfectly normal.” Enzo glanced behind his shoulder before he focused back on her. “I’m going to try and get them to release you sooner with whatever sway I have left. They haven’t hurt you, have they?”

“No, they’ve actually been respectful.”

“I’m glad to know that hasn’t changed.” He sighed and seated himself in the cold snow. She winced, it must have been utterly freezing. “Doris, there’s something I wanted to tell you before I go to William. I see you as someone that actually likes me rather than wanting me to fall off the nearest cliff and endure a horrible death.”

It was hard to tie yourself to someone when you wanted to be free.”
