CHAPTER 202
~Valerie's POV~
I did not need a soothsayer to know that something was wrong with Xade and the party he had asked me to join. It was almost as though he did not want me to know.
Two thoughts crossed my mind as to what was going on with him.
One: Was this a surprise?
Two: Or was this something I would not like?
Whichever scenario played out, I still agreed. Why? Because I still needed to speak to Gamma Ryan and have him unhack my phone and Solstice.
I smile with Riven as though nothing is wrong to avoid any more issues going on, but I needed to know whom I was going to punish.
That night was uneventful, as I hoped, and even though I knew the earthquake came from me, a part of me was glad to be in their midst.
But something about being the fifth heir, staying in my room, made me remember Mum and Dad and our home.
