No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Lord chuckled, "Clever girl, I hope in your next life you're born into a good family."

After he finished speaking, he stood up. My body lurched forward, almost tumbling into his shoes.

Lord's bodyguard immediately came to grab me, but he stopped him, instead giving me a stern look. "Now that you understand, what do you want to do? You want me to spare you?"

Yes, I wanted him to spare me. I couldn't die yet!

Dying like this would be such a loss.

"I won't believe any of this unless you let me confront Herschel directly, or at least let him call me. I want to hear what he has to say," I told the truth but was also stalling for time, hoping someone would come to rescue me. But who would come to save me?

I couldn't afford to think about that, focusing instead on Lord.

But this time, he ignored me, signaling the bodyguard with his eyes, and I was dragged away.
