"You don't have to go…,"
"Stop being a crybaby and do like your elder sister has said ok?" Audrey tapped her hand as she maintained her fake smile.
"Audrey, since she wants you here…,"
"Don't you dare try to act cocky just because I leave her in your care ok?" Audrey stated fiercely.
"If I come back and find out that a hair on her body is missing then get ready to hear from me because it will either be me or you who will die," Audrey challenged.
She glanced at Joanna for the last time before she started walking away.
"Although she is so damn rude, I must admit that I love the fact that she is an overprotective friend. With her by your side, I will be rest assured that no harm will come to you…,"
"I am not that weak like you think. There was a bit of a situation today that is why I couldn't teach that scumbag a lesson…,"
"Let's pretend that you are telling the truth," He said. He bent and lifted her off her feet. He did this effortlessly.
"Let me down…,"
"Say that one more time and I will not only shut you up with a kiss in front of so many people but I will tease you until you are not able to resist anymore," He threatened.
Joanna instantly went quiet after he threatened her.
Within a matter of ten minutes, the incident at the campus spread like wildfire on all social media platforms.
The clips of the epic fights got aired on some of the most popular television stations.
It took less than twenty minutes for the hot topic to become a sensation.
In front of Amos' door, Joanna inputs the password and gives a slight push to the door.
"First thing we will do is to get your wounds disinfected and treated immediately…,"
"Do you even know how to do that?" She asked. Her words caused Amos to halt in his tracks.
He lowered his gaze and peered at the lady in his arms.
"Are you challenging me…," the sudden arrival of Chris where they stood made him pause.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded with his piercing glares fixed on Chris' face.
"How many times have I warned you not to show up here and how many times have you defied this order?" He interrogated.
"You don't have to question him at the door. Let's go in…,"
"Speaking up for him today won't save him, so let him talk," His voice was cold and deprived of emotions as he peered at the guy whose head was slightly lowered.
"I know you have constantly warned me to stay away from you during the time you are away from the palace but I was worried after what happened on campus," Chris explained with his head remaining lowered.
"I wasn't able to intervene in the fight at campus today because I was scared of not only revealing my identity but also giving your identity away," he continued in a composed tone.
"I am glad you decided to make a wise decision for the first time," Amos said, sounding a bit calmer. He walked past Chris and made his way into the sitting room with Joanna still on his body.
Chris followed behind to continue with his reports.
Even after Joanna and Amos sat down Chris remained standing close to their couch.
"I was worried about Miss Joanna and his Majest…,"
"I meant Sir," Chris corrected himself. He was so used to calling Kayden His Majesty that he kept making mistakes despite how many times he had corrected himself.
Amos' frown faded seeing that he corrected himself at the right time.
"Although I am not happy to see you here, I must admit that you came at the right time," He admitted.
"Do you have orders for me?" He questioned with his head raised a bit higher.
"Get me the first aid kit at the top of the white wardrobe," He ordered and diverted his gaze to the lady sitting beside him quietly.
Chris didn't argue. He disappeared from the sitting room to get the job done.
"Are you in a lot of pain? - Is that why you are so quiet?" He demanded softly.
Joanna adjusted her butt well on the couch so that she was looking at him straight in the eye.
"I have always sustained physical wounds as far as I came to the age of awareness. It has gotten to the point that physical pains are like nothing to me…," She trailed as she looked at the wounds on her hands.
It was never her choice to become like this but life itself forced her into this.
If I was given a chance to choose my family, do you think I would have chosen this household?
She would rather choose to be born into a family in which she will be spoiled with love and attention from the moment she was delivered.
"They don't scare me one bit," She said and touched the wounds on her right hand.
Inside Mr Aidan's office earlier she didn't care about how many wounds she sustained. All she cared about was protecting her chastity and this was because she knew her life will never remain the same if she were to get brutally raped.
To her, mental pain is worse than physical pain.
"You might not feel the pains like you want me to believe but I do," He said as he looked into her purple orbs.
He stretched his hand and took her hand in his. "My heart aches any time I see you covered in wounds. The pains are always so great that it feels as if my heart is constantly ripped into tiny pieces…,"
"Aren't you the one who always says that wounds and scars are the pride of every warrior so why are you acting contrary to your words now?" She smiled as she talked.
"Of course, I remember saying that but you are not a warrior. Every part of your body is way too precious to sustain even the tiniest thing as a scratch," He said and stroked her hands affectionately.
