THE DARK LORD novel Chapter 10

"Uhm," she replied.

"Common,you're just hurting yourself by pretending to be cool with it all."

"Oh silly,I'm perfectly fine." She laughed.

"You like him,don't you?" Avan asked.

"Of course not Avan,"she rolled her eyes.”I wouldn’t dare fall for him.”

"You know you're actually sweating.Just forgive him and go back to calling him Vador."

"And why? I'm just an assistant," She frowned.

"He's really comfortable around you"

“If I forgive him,would you tell me everything?!”

“Everything like what”

“I might be a little girl in Vador’s eyes but I am not stupid. You’re definitely no normal snake and I shouldn’t even be here. Yes, I might have fallen for Vador but I will not risk getting hurt by him. He can hardly control himself, I fear he would hurt me again.

“I was in danger Avan, when he miraculously found his way to me and saved me. I hated snakes,” she continued almost in tears “I hated snakes and then I met you and now it’s like we’re friends. My first real friend,isn’t it crazy. I’m friends with a snake.”

“Ava,pleaseeeee. I might be a mere snake but I’m also your friend. I’m like your protector now,Vador put me in charge of you. You’ve been keeping it all in for too long,It’s time to let it out. Talk to me”

“This is crazy,” Ava thought how is it that She was being consoled by a snake.
