Micah remained silent, his lips pressed into a thin line. His usually handsome face was now shadowed with an unmistakable gloom.
"Do you need me to..."
"No need." Before Pharaoh could finish, Micah cut him off sharply.
"Feelings only get in the way," Micah said firmly. "Especially for people like us. We're not suited for an ordinary life."
For others, starting a family, having a wife and kids was normal. But for them, it was not.
They had responsibilities to the Yaren Tribe, and their status made it impossible to lead a simple, personal life.
Above all, there was the memory of his mother. After she passed, his father had been lost for a long time, and though other women had come into his father’s life, they were all reflections of his mother.
She had been the one sacrificed, and now, as the leader of the tribe, Micah knew he was destined to walk the same path as his father.
He could not split himself between the tribe and a family. If he had no wife, no children, then no one else would have to suffer the way his mother had.
Pharaoh looked into Micah’s resolute, cold eyes and understood everything. A heavy weight settled in Pharaoh's chest, a tightness around his throat.
After a few seconds, Pharaoh made a decision. "If you find those responsibilities overwhelming, perhaps you should live like Ivy."
Pharaoh always referred to Nina as "Ivy" when speaking with Micah. He felt guilty for what Nina had endured, but when it came to Micah, his son, he knew he had failed him too.
From childhood, Micah had been denied the attention and guidance he deserved, and even Pharaoh’s past mistakes had become burdens for Micah to bear. No wonder Micah avoided relationships and marriage. It was all because of him.

Can you add more chapters per day please...
Don't tell me 🤯 Is Nina pharaoh's daughter?...
Meanwhile why is Nina playing hard to get? What else does she want from the man? I bet if Nash ever declares to kove the baby unconditionally she might soften up but lady just spill the secret he would be overjoyed!...
I see you increased the number of chapters per day by 2, but please can we have like 20 chapters per day? 7 chapters is too little, the suspense is just crazy...
