DAMON.
Working has become frustrating because that’s all I’ve been doing. There was nothing left to do except sign some documents and make some calls, and that panicked me because I need to function; I need to do something else that doesn’t involve thinking about
Eloise.
Sebastian left a few hours ago, and I miss the idiot because he could easily take my mind off things with his stupid jokes and comments. My phone rang as I was about to sign another document; it was my COO at the other office, who also worked as my P1.
“What do you have?” I asked and put the phone on speaker while I continued reviewing the documents.
“So we are in. The Lockwood has signed the deal. I must say, after they invested in the stock, I thought they changed their mind about actually signing the main thing, but they have now, and they really looked desperate when they did,” he explained.
“Good. I need them on a tight leash, make everything so hard to get out of when the time comes.” I said.
I knew the Lockwoods would fall for the scheme. When Eloise told me they were greedy, I didn’t understand the extent of it until I checked their work. They are in debt, and they don’t know it yet, and that gives me immense joy.
I wanted to make them suffer for hurting Eloise like that, for making her feel like she wasn’t enough. I wanted her to continue her own research for now and, in the background, prepare things that will take them down in case her plans don’t work.
“Alright, my king.”
“Amd note, don’t make any moves yet. My Queen still has something aces up her sleeve, and I want her to take her time dealing with it. You just keep making them fall deeper and deeper into debt and make the encirclements around them tighter. I need them to be cornered when they finally realize the trouble they are in.” I told him.
“Ues, my King. I’m working on it,” he said.
“Good,” I said and hung up.
That was good news, that was like the third deal of borrowing money that they were signing, they course, but they didn’t know that it’s not how it works.

They will understand when the whole thing finally hits them, and I can’t wait for when they realize it. They will be so shocked, and will be so happy because I’ll see the victorious look on my mate’s face.
I coughed, my throat hitched, and I kept coughing for a whole until it felt like something was about to come out. I took the handkerchief from the table and coughed into it. By the time I came up for air and saw the handkerchief, it was covered in red stains.
“Blood?” I whispered. What’s wrong?
I’ve been doing so well with Eloise’s treatment. What was going on now?

I felt fine within, I was okay. But this was new, I’ve not coughed up blood like this since I met myself.
Eloise. Should I tell her? Fasked
It’s not that serious. I’ll go back home, take the herbs, and be fine. I reassured myself: she already has a lot to deal with; I wouldn’t
want to stress her out.

I sighed and kept the handkerchief in my drawer, putting it at the back of my mind that I’ll dispose of it later.
I continued working when my phone rang again. It was my head of security, and I picked up.
“My king. Have you got guests?” he said, and I frowned.
“Im not expecting anybody. Who are they?”
“One of them says he’s Kyle and the second one says she’s Ava.”
What?

I pulled up the gate’s security camera footage and saw that he wasn’t kidding. Did Kyle and Ava have a death wish? Why are they showing up at my house without an invitation?
“Tell them that I didn’t make an appointment with them, and they should go back,” I said.
“Alright, my King.” I watched as he spoke to them. Kyle looked like he wanted to murder somebody, but he knew better. Ava wanted to argue, but he pulled her back into the car with him.
I watched as he drove off. The nerve of him. What was he thinking? Showing up at my home like this? It would have gotten Eloise angry because, given the history Ava and I had, I didn’t want to upset her.
What did Kyle want? He had been in radio silence since he arrived, and I met with him and his people in the throne room, and I’ve been keeping tabs, of course, but he didn’t look like he was doing anything, which I knew was a facade, and that’s why I tightened up security everywhere.
This man thinks that because he’s my uncle, he can come to my house anytime he wants without permission? I will call him later and warn him never to try that again.
I continued working, but my thoughts strayed to Eloise. She has been trying to get me to have sex so badly, but my self–control was crazy, and I didn’t even know how crazy until now, but I was on the last thread.
I wanted to show her for real that we were okay without sex, and this could work; it felt like I needed to prove this to her with my life, which is something I will do if she allows me or if it gets to that.
One more sexy action from her and I feared that I’ll break because she was even sexy without trying ti be, now imagine when she puts energy into it. Yeah, it’s wild.
Anyway, I hope things work out for us the way they should. Because I really want us to work, I needed to get out of work early so that I could prepare dinner. She must be tired from work; maybe I’ll give her a massage later, too.
Just to make her relaxed fir the big event that’ll be happening in the next two days.
