Chapter Seventeen
-Elara’s Pov
It pained me to see him hurt, the way he dodged the attack and tried to protect me at the least of his safety every move, every attack lodged at him was like a saw painfully striking through my heart.
If he had given me the least hope that he was still there, the Damina I had fallen in love with, Damina that showed me the way when I thought there wasn’t the way. If he had received my hand the same way he did when my parent left me maybe I wouldn’t have restrained from receiving his hands as well.

I wished he wouldn’t dare to raise the topic I would love not to cross paths with him.

Dribbling onto my bed in distress, I faced the wall, my back facing Sabrina.
“Do you want me to warm your soup? Are you sure you will be fine or will you just head home to stay with Mom and Dad?”
I stiffened a smile while changing my position now facing her
“I am fine Sabrina, I just need rest that’s all.
“Okay….1 am letting you go this once. Tomorrow, you are spilling everything”
I turned back against her letting her footsteps echo through the darkness that engulfed me the moment she left

Sabrina could only mock me as I ruffled my clothes searching for something modest to wear. “Thank God you’re fine now just relax, it is Sir Julian’s class he will wait for you i

“Remember you only have control over your game You can do this” I hitched underneath my breath breathing out in a whoosh
Have I said anything wrong? Sabrina voiced out of worry, concern etched on her face. She walked towards me aiming to
study my expression which I was quicked to mask with the facade.

“Wow. I thought you don’t like something flashy, what suddenly changed your mind from being a Rapunzel to Barbie pink”
I furrowed my brow and slightly squeezed my nose as if I were pondering on my decision even when I had no plan to change

“Hope you don’t forget the date? You have a gist to fill me with!”
I playfully rolled my eyes earning a slight gasp from her…….

We got to the class earlier than we thought and I was baffled to see Damian entered the class instead of Julian, the plan was to express how strong–headed I could be. He had to know I was still in control, Damian showing up wasn’t something I planned for
A smirk crept u

I raised my gaze to meet his scorching gaze mixed with desires Nailed to identify.
I was about to counter his accusation at least saying something in my defense- “Seemned you have let your personal life blind your concentration, Miss Jules I felt the urge to lash out at him when I noticed his stare at a scratch on my nape.
