Talia's POV
I barely escaped Norman's probing if not for the elders who came in at that moment. I hope he only thinks I'm Alonzo's lover and nothing else. He must never find out about my involvement in his mother's death or else I'll face his scorching wrath. He must marry Agatha on time so that she can be my support if at all he finds out. "Yes," I mumbled under my breath, "I'll just find some dirt on her and place her firmly under my thumb." I concluded wryly.
I don't know why he keeps rejecting Agatha though, she's a fine young lady from a noble house and she will be a good Luna for my stepson.
"I'll have to warn Alonzo to stop coming here so frequently and find away to return that slave to him soon. There's something suspicious about her." I said to myself as I resumed my frantic pacing in my chambers.
