“Crying, trying to look weak, begging and pretending to be desperate, pretending to care about Casey,” Kara said, describing Lori’s behaviour.
“I know you might find this offensive. Zora, but I do not feel sorry for Casey. He made his bed with thorns, he should lie on it, but damn to set her father up and ask her cousin to swallow poison while she roams free is cold. There was no way she did all this for love, that selfish bitch.” Eloise said, and I nodded.
“I think she did.” I said, and Eloise shook her head.
“No, Zora, she is incapable of love,” She argued, and I shook my head.
“On the contrary. She is capable of it, and it is the dangerous kind. Being pregnant while planning an uprising isn’t easy, but she wanted to tie herself to the man. That was why she transferred her bond and got pregnant by him too. She did it all to keep him. Call it what you must, but it is an act of desperation. A way of holding on to something you believe might slip away. If anything, I believe he is using her,” I said, and Kara asked me to elaborate; I told them the same things I said to Darius, and they understood that aspect.
“Well, she is out of our reach now,” Eloise said, and I shook my head.
“Not really. I have a Brian on her trail. I did not want her out of sight, so I had someone watch her from the moment she left.” I said, and Eloise
beamed at me.
“Brilliant,” She said happily, and I nodded.

“How did you know to do that?” Kara asked, and I smiled.

“Her weird conversation with Annika, the fact that she gave me the drive instead of Casey and that every one was uneasy about releasing her. It was enough for me to double–check. I needed to make sure,” I said, and Kara
smiled.
“Very well. Send reinforcements and have them drag her ass back here,” Kara said, and I shook my head at the same time Eloise said no.
“Why not?” Kara asked, and Eloise spoke before me.
“The snake is home free; she is bound to slip up,” She said, and I chuckled because Eloise was right.
“Think of it this way: She believes she has fooled everyone and is free. She will try to meet her lover or mate, whatever the douchebag is to her. Once she does, we will know who he is and catch him.
If what Zora suspects about their relationship is true, then to him, she is dispensable. If we catch her, he would just go into hiding, and she might be too stupid to want to give him up.
We need her to reach out to him and then go for both of them together,” she said, and I smiled at Eloise because she understood why I had not moved to arrest Lori.
“Then send that Brian reinforcements. It wasn’t difficult for Liam to know he was being followed,” Kara pointed out, and I nodded.
“We had amateurs following him because of the impromptu situation; in his case, he knew he had been made, and his associates were also hunting him. It is a different scenario, but I will send Levi for good measure. They are good at their job,” I said.
Just then, my phone rang, and Wilson was on the line. I answered immediately.

“Your Majesty,” he said, addressing me by my future title, and I could not believe it had happened. Everything seemed unreal, but it had happened, and that is where we are now.
“Yes, Wilson,” I said.
“Lori Kuhn checked into a hotel in Cain, and Jacob Mikhailov just joined her,” He said, and I was on alert.
“Send reinforcement to the Brian. I want a minute–by–minute detailing of their meeting, discussions and behaviour towards each other, now,” I said.
“Okay, I will have the Brian contact you after their meeting. I will also deploy two men there.” He said.
“No, send Levi,” I said and hung up.
“So?” Kara asked, eager to hear what was happening.
“Lori is in Cain, and Jacob Mikhailov just joined her at the hotel.”
“Do you think he is the one?” Kara asked eagerly, and I shook my head.
“I am not sure. I doubt he it, but we could never tell. The Brian on her has been asked to stay on her and watch them. If they end up fucking, then we will move in on the bastard. If not, we will wait for them to finish the meeting, and when they are far apart, arrest the bastard. We do not want him roaming about the place freely.” I said, and they agreed.
We talked about our wedding and what we would wear on that day. And even though we tried to make it sound as if that was the only thing that mattered, the situation with Lori loomed at the back of our minds, reducing the joy and enthusiasm that we were supposed to feel. We did not know what to do about it.
Three hours later, a call came in from a number on Cains Island. I answered immediately.

Although we had a lot of issues to deal with, life was still passing by, and we could not allow Lori and her king to stop us from living it.
I was proud of how far we had all come, and becoming actual Royalty was a considerable step up.
I planned on enjoying every moment and supporting the man I love through this huge milestone and remarkable transition.
It was truly great because Darius had peacefully achieved the one thing Collier wanted but did not know how to do.
Casey had come through for him, and I was grateful to my ex for his loyalty.
On our way out, Nellie stopped us, but when I told her what we were planning to do, she decided to take the whole gang along and soon what was meant to be an outing that consisted of my friends and I, Neva, Nicole and Nellie became a part of it and just as expected, Nellie took charge. We let her and tried to rest our minds. As long as we had an eye on that bitch, Lori, she was still a mouse in our maze.
