It was good news, but my heart wasn’t happy. The whole Shanon thing had destabilised me.
There was so much happening at once, and I needed a breather. I needed the noise to quiet down and the spinning situation to stop, but I knew it wouldn’t, and it was getting to me.
I was tempted to have Jacob Mikhailov arrested, but I would instead do it after the games.
I did not want to do anything that would disrupt the games or interfere with the investigations that would occur during the games.
I needed the traitors to be relaxed and follow their plan. So we could
catch them.
I attended to some documents in the office and went to train.
After training, I joined Marcel and Theo at the stables to practice polo. Shanon plagued my mind, and I needed the thought of her to fade away
I practised so hard until I was tired.
I skipped lunch and remained outside, trying to free my mind of what was happening
I sat by the cliff and wondered what I would do.
took the horse back to the stables when it was dinner time, showered, and went for dinner.

I entered the dining room, and Zora looked at me with her green eyes, she was worried; I could tell, but she did not say a word.
I went to sit next to her, and she smiled at me.
I had not seen her the whole day, and I felt guilty. Why was I acting like this? What was I worried about?
“You locked everyone out of your mind. Is everything alright.” She said to me, and I rubbed her back gently, then began to plate her food.
“Everything is alright, my love.” I said to her, releasing my mind to communicate through the link.
“They have arrested Bricks and are bringing him here for questioning. He said Jacob Mikhailov was the one that sent him the money, and they are funding a group that wants to remove the lordship, place the council in charge and liberate the people of the regions by installing governors. I told her to bring him here so we can interrogate him properly,” I said aloud, and Marcel growled.
“What about Jacob?” He asked, and I shook my head.
“Let him continue to believe his secret is safe. I want them to make more mistakes. Please, place someone to watch him and study his activities and associations. That could help.” I said, and Marcel agreed.
We ate the rest of the meal in silence. It was apparent that I wasn’t in high spirits, but I tried to keep it together.
Soon we finished, and Zora and I got up to leave.
We walked in silence, and she did not utter a word.
I could not read her. I could not tell if she was angry or just giving me
space.
We entered the room, and she went to the bathroom.

I went to check my computer for emails, but there was nothing. By the time I was done, she had exited the bathroom in her night dress with wet hair. She had taken a quick shower, and she looked gorgeous.
“Hectic day?” She asked me with a smile, and I nodded.
I felt relief wash through me because I realised she was just giving me space. She wasn’t mad at me.
I watched her moisturise her skin at the vanity table and then move to the bed. I decided I had to tell her that Hardy and Shanon were coming so she would know and would not be surprised and shocked when she saw them or found out before then.
“Hardy is coming for the games,” I said, and she looked at me, stunned. I could see a glimpse of fear in her eyes.
“He has never come for the games before. He accepted and even signed up three polo teams to play in the tournament for the south.” I said, and she looked worried.
“That isn’t all, my ex’s uncle is the captain of his team, and he is coming with my ex, Shanon,” I said, and her hand shook a bit.
She sat upright on the bed and looked at me with fear. She was speechless.
“Shanon is coming?” She asked, and I nodded and went to join her on the bed.
“Yes, Zora,” I said and pulled her into my arms.
“I am not telling you this because she is important, I am telling you this so you will not be surprised when she shows up and some loudmouth council member decides to use it as a jab. I do not want you to get worked up over this,” I said, and she nodded slowly, so I turned her to look at me.

“I love you, Zora.. You have nothing to worry about. She blew her chance when she left me. My time with her is over now, my heart beats for only you,” I said, and she did not respond.
“Was that why you were scarce all day and you blocked your mind from communication?” she asked me.
Although it was part of it, I couldn’t tell her because she did not seem to be taking it well.
“No, the issue with the council is what is killing me. I am only telling you this because I want you to know so you aren’t caught off guard.” I said, and she nodded.
She looked at me and searched my eyes for a bit.
“I trust you. Darius. With all my heart,” She said with teary eyes, and I
knew she was worried.
I leaned close and kissed her lips.
This was why I was worried. I did not want her to be stressed about it. I held her, and she wrapped her arms around me.
“Please don’t break my heart, Darius. I won’t survive this one,” She said, and her words cut me deeply.
The fact that she thought there could be a possibility made me want to check myself.
I was shocked and nervous about seeing Shanon, but it wasn’t because I wanted to get back with her. It was because, deep down, I was still mad that she did not break up with me properly before leaving.
“I won’t, I promise. You have nothing to worry about. You own and rule my heart now. I will never betray you and our baby, Zora. I promise you that my love is true, and it will always remain that way. Please don’t be

worried. Don’t make me regret telling you,” I said, and I heard a faint sob. I held her, and we laid down. She placed her hand on my chest, resting her body on half of mine. I touched her hair, gently stroking it and stared at the ceiling. I could not wait for the blue moon and make her mine permanently.
