Joanna's heart pounded hard as she stood there rooted to the floor.
This was not the first or second time she felt as if she was tailed by someone.
The most surprising thing is that she always ended up discovering that none was in sight despite all this.
She looked around and realised that there was none in sight and at this moment she regretted she came out so late at night.
Why did she have to go for a walk when it was past 1:00 am?
Slowly, Joanna turned around to see who was standing behind her.
Just like the previous occasions, none appeared to be in sight no matter how hard she looked.
"I could feel that he was so close so how come no one is here again?" Joanna muttered in confusion.
She looked around the quiet street one more time. After she confirmed for the last time that it was just her in sight she hastened to reach home.
In the condition she was now if someone was to sneak up on her, she was certain she wouldn't be able to survive.
She is strong enough to handle a human but her power is considered as nothing if she was to go against a vampire or werewolf.
While hurrying to the tall building in front Joanna kept looking behind. Her heart was finally able to find peace after she entered and shut the brown door behind her.
Arriving at the sitting room, it was the same as she had left it. Despite getting the hints that he might not have returned she still wanted to confirm so she headed to his bedroom in search of him.
Her mood hit rock bottom after checking the bedroom and guest room and still didn't see anyone around.
"He still hasn't come back yet," She mumbled in disappointment and strolled to the grey couch.
While waiting for him in the sitting room, Joanna soon dozed off from exhaustion.
When morning reached Joanna was still asleep despite that the sun was shining brightly.
The doorbell made the sleeping Joanna jerk to her feet in confusion. Her blurry vision caused her to rub her eyes twice.
Looking in the direction of the window, she was surprised to see that the sun was up.
"He has finally returned," Joanna beamed when the doorbell rang for the second time.
Before hurrying to answer the door she didn't forget to arrange her hair and clothes.
"What kept you…," the words refused to form when she opened the door and saw who was standing at the door.
"I am aware that I am not the one you yearn for but you don't have to look at me like you have seen a ghost…," Joanna ran into her embrace and made Audrey choke on her words.
"I have missed you so much, bestie," Joanna confessed. Her grip around Audrey's neck grew tighter.
"I was only away for two days but you want to choke me. Does this mean you would hug me until I drop dead if I were gone for a year or two?" Audrey joked as she tapped Joanna's back affectionately.
"If you are this possessive towards me then I wonder how you are gonna cope when you get married…,"
"I will bring you with me into the palace, isn't that obvious…,"
"Stop fooling around, naughty girl," Audrey jokingly scolded while tapping her butts.
Joanna pulled away still holding the spot on her butts Audrey tapped.
"Why does it look like you are gonna chop off my head because I beat your butts hmm?" Audrey quizzed and raised her hand to pull Joanna's cheeks but she moved backwards pretending to be angry.
"Did you also glare at him like this when he hits and massage your butts during these three days I was away…,"
"H-hit my butts?" Joanna stammered. Her cheeks turned beet red in an instant.
"You heard me right so why are blushing and stuttering at the same time? Did he perhaps bully you…,"
"What nonsense are you spewing?" Joanna questioned and cupped her heating face.
"You…,"
"Nothing happened between us. He has been too busy and hardly spares me his time so it's no use letting your thoughts run wild," Joanna cut in.
"Did the two of you quarrel…,"
"Let's go inside first," She interrupted, grabbing Audrey's hand.
"Yeah, let's go in. I am sure you must have a lot to tell me," Audrey smiled. She followed Joanna into the house.
The first thing that caught Audrey's attention was their picture frames hanging on the wall.
As if that wasn't enough she was further mesmerized by the beauty of the interior.
"He sure has good taste. I guess the room of a King will always be different from every other room," she commented and walked to one of the picture frames at her right-hand side.
"I don't know about his taste in interior designs but all I know is that the decorations of the interior were Josephina and Chris' handiwork," Joanna replied. She strolled to join Audrey who she was standing in front of the picture frame.
"Look at his sparkling eyes and his bright smile. Everything about him in this picture depicts nothing but love," Audrey said, her gaze glued on the man in the picture.
"He is smiling like a little fool despite his identity," She muttered and turned to stare at the picture frames hanging on the opposite side.
In all the pictures of him and Joanna, Kayden had a broad smile. His black eyes shone brightly and had so much life in them.
"If someone had told me that a careful man like Kayden would go to such lengths to be with you I wouldn't have believed it. I can't stop thinking that he is out of his mind when I remember all he did," Audrey commented.
Though her words sounded a bit rude, this was the first time she had complimented Kayden so much.
All these years she always finds fault in whatever he does.
"He is so certain of his love that he is willing to go to any length for me. I wonder when I will become confident of my love for him," Joanna said. The hint of sadness in her voice made Audrey turn and gaze at her.
Just like she had suspected, her friend's once happy expression was gone.

TOP COMMENTERS
Comments make an author believe that his or her readers are not only enjoying his/her book but are also following it. And that is exactly how I feel each time I receive your comments.
What some readers don't know is that not commenting sometimes makes the author feels lonely.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face and keeping me company through your comments. Your comments mean a lot to me.
