People don’t hate you for no reason. Just like Vance and Victoria. They’d abandoned her without hesitation, and even after she returned to the Woods, they never truly accepted her. In their eyes, her very birth had brought bad luck to the family.

And the same went the other way. No one treats you well for no reason either. Just like Draven. They weren’t related and had no ties at all, yet he always showed up whenever she needed him…

“Alright, I’ll stop. Get some rest.” A trace of helpless fondness showed between Draven’s sharp

brows.

Draven pulled the door open and had just stepped out when Cassia’s voice sounded behind him.

“Draven, what if I actually decide I want to marry you?”

At that, a flicker of surprise and shock passed clearly through Draven’s dark eyes.

He stood there for a few seconds before pulling himself back together.

The corner of his lips curved as he turned slightly to face her, his expression unusually serious. “I’d be looking forward to it.”

She’d asked the question outright. As a man, there was no way he could dodge it.

Cassia lifted a hand to stretch, tugging the blanket over herself.

“You should go. I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”

She’d just stirred him up with a few casual words and now she was dropping the topic like it meant nothing.

Heartless little brat.

But…

I like it.

“Alright. Get some rest.”

He was probably not getting any sleep tonight.

After Draven closed the door and left, Cassia pushed herself up from the bed and glanced toward the shut door before lowering her eyes.

Moonlight spilled through the window, settling over her long, thick lashes and shadowing her downcast gaze, hiding whatever emotion lay beneath.

Then, her lips curved faintly as she turned her head and looked out at the moon.

She slept through the night without a single dream.

Early the next morning, Cassia was woken by the sound of her phone ringing.

She’d forgotten to switch it to silent before going to bed.

She’d fallen asleep late the night before, and the drowsiness still clung to her. With her eyes closed, she reached one hand out from under the blanket and blindly fumbled around on the nightstand until she grabbed her phone.

Her first instinct was to power it off, but then she vaguely thought it might be Draven calling, so she brought it closer.

Squinting, she glanced at the screen.

It was Urban calling.

She didn’t want to answer. It annoyed her.

“Hello?” Her voice was heavy with sleep.

Urban shivered on the other end. Have I pissed off the boss?

“Boss, did you make it to Vrastin?”

There was no answer.

After a pause, Urban carefully asked again, “Uh.. Boss, are you up yet?”

Hearing how impatient she sounded just now, he realized those were two completely pointless questions.

He immediately regretted opening his mouth at all.

“Talk.”

Cassia switched the phone to speaker and set it aside.

“Boss, when can you come over? Cyclone’s getting out of line. They want to challenge us to a

match. They even said if we lose again, we should just drop out of the Abyss tournament! If nothing changes, they’ll be coming to us today!”

Cassia let out a lazy “I see” and closed her eyes again.

Urban heard that flat response and felt like a monkey with its tail on fire, frantic but helpless.

“Boss, can you come by today? We-”

“Hm…”

The sound of steady breathing came through the phone.

Urban was dumbfounded.

By the time Cassia woke up naturally, she found her phone lying beside her pillow. The call with Urban had already ended.

She picked it up, threw the blanket aside, got out of bed, and pulled open the curtains.

Sunlight flooded in through the floor–to–ceiling windows. It was a nice day, perfect for going

out.

Draven probably wouldn’t be calling her anytime soon. Staying in the hotel all day would be boring anyway.

Cassia yawned, sat back down on the bed, and dialed Urban’s number, speaking lazily into the phone. “Where are you guys now?”
