Tan’t hide my annoyance with him, and instead, I pick myself off the sofa and walk towards the reasure
room. We kept everything of great value to us inside of here, including the many books about the ming
whisperer.
Tonight I would be closer to confirming my suspicions
about the pretty redhead. I pull one of the books out of the
shelf and turn the pages until I reach the chapter I was

I slowly read through it until I reached the part about the golden candle.

“I now nothing about this gil,” My mother ways to me. “How can I know that you’ll be safe at her home?”
“Mom,” i whisperu “So far, Abigail is the only friend that I
have. Even though I’ve only recently be her friend,
she’s more of a friend te me than Aria ever wx. This is my
chance to move on from the hurt I’ve been feeling. You
forced me to attend a party just because Aria and Bryan would be there. I went because you insisted. All
I’m asking is to be able to spend one night by her home. You can drop me off and meet her and her
family if that will help clear your

My mother takes a moment to think about what I’m
asking for before she sighs, “I guess you haven’t exactly done

TL the driver where to carry me, and within an hour, I’m already by Abigail’s house. I wait for the driver to
leave before I knack on her door. Thankfully, Abigail’s parents are out of town for the night. Of course, my
parents would have nevergreed If they knew this. And Abigail’s parents wouldn’t have let me leave If
they were here.
“I can’t believe your parents actually let youe.” She streams as she pulls me in for a tight hug. “We
have to get you dressed, and then I drive you there.”
My body is trembling I’m not used to breaking the rules like this. Lying to my parents is one thing but

“We need to get you something beautiful but also sexy.”
She tells me while pping her hands with excitement.

“Hmm,” she says What about this one”
she picks up a short red dress
I like this one a bit more, but it seems to be just a little
too short
“I’ve never really seen you wear anything like this before,” I tell her. “I’m surprised that you have pieces
like this in your closet.
Sheugha, “my mother loves fashion, and she loves Sving me things to dress up in. But I always pack
them away and never really wear them. They may be a little big for you,
but we can fix that in time for you to leave.”
“What about this?” She asks, pointing to a long-sleeve
ck shirt with a matching mini skirt
My eyes are drawn to the outlit, and even though it may be sexier than the type of clothes I usually wear,
I think that
this is the outfit I need to meet Adam in.
It took me another hour to get dressed after Abigail
insisted on putting makeup on me. She was pretty good at it;
I couldn’t make myself out in the mirror. Somehow she
made me look beautiful.

Why was even thinking in that direction Even if they weren’t loprther, there still wouldn’t be a chance for
us. Our worlds were too different, and our parents would never agree to our rtionship.
“Are you ready?” Abigail asks me as she starts the car. “Remember that I’ll be one phone call away if you
need mu. Also, call me as soon as you’re finished so that I cane to pick you up.”
I take a deep breath, “let’s go
Along the drive, Abigail tries her best to calm my nerves by ying music and telling funny stories. For a
while, the both of us just sing along to songs about heartbreak, and it’s honestly more fun than I’ve ever
had with my friends before
“We’re here.” She says to me as we pull up to the red

I say goodbye and walk towards the guard boath. The fund there gives me a suspicious look; obviously,

My voice sounds shaky ta my own ear.
“Are you sure?” The guard asks me. Tve had many young girls like you iming to be invited to these
things. Are you telling the truth?
I let out a righ; what did this man tabe me for Why
would I pretend to be invited?
“I’m sure.” I mumble.
“What’s your name, miss?” He asks; there is still a bit of
suspicion in his eyes.
I have to wonder if Adam set this whole thing up to
embarrass me. Did he not tell the guard that he would have
an unusual guesting here tonight.
“Amiera.”
His eyes widen at the mention of my name.

were all lies. Some ild that there w e dried down tree
around with dead animals stuck to the walls. I didn’t see
anything like that. The castle was mainly made of ss, everywhere you want, there were mirrors and
statues made of gold. It was a beautiful and fantastic art piece.
As I walk through the red carpets, I feel my heart begini to pound loudly against my chest. I can’t believe
that I’m really doing this. I’m in Adam’s home, and we’re about to have a movie night.
“Just have a seat in one of these chairs, and I’ll inform Sir Adam of your arrival.” He tells me.
Inod and watch as he walks away down the hallway.
I ce my hands on myp and sp them together. I don’t know where I’m getting the courage from,
but this is
one of the most dangerous things I’ve ever done. My parents
would kill me if they ever found out what I was doing.
Tjust had to make sure that they never did. If somehow
they learned even the tiniest bit of truth from this night, things would get terrible. They would host a

I want to reunat my thoughts. Apain, I have no words, n?ne for my craziness. Something about himn
brought out the insane, reckless side of me. Was it because of his dark
enorey?
Stop Amiera, don’t me him for your own actions. He isn’t doing anything. my feelings are entirely my
own, and na one is forcing it onto me.
His eyes are staring into my own, and it doesn’t stray at
all. I’ve seen guys look at a woman’s body while staring at
her, but that’s not the case with Adam. He doesn’t look at my
figure, he doesn’t look at what I wear, he’s looking into my
eyes, and he’s doing a damn good job at it because I would
be falling ifl wasn’t already sitting on a chair.
But he could also not be staring at my body because

But he could also not be staring at my body because
there wasn’t anything good there to see. If it were Aria or his
ex-girlfriend, I was sure that things would be different. He
couldn’t be immune to their beauty: I didn’t know a single
guy that was.
“Follow me,” he says.
I quickly grab my purse and pick myself off the chair. I
stand up so fast that I’m falling straight back to the ground.
Adam catches me just in time so that he’s now leaning over
me, and my body is inches away from the floor. His eyes
search my face as though he’s looking for something, and I
can’t help but drown in them.
I want to cry when a hup leaves my mouth. Why is
this happening to me? Why do I always hup when I’m
around him? What the hell was wrong with me?
