Arielle's POV.
The next days that followed, I stayed in the Grand bedroom with Riley. The realm was starting to pick itself up, but it was slow.
At least, that was what I learned.
Damien didn't show his face to me since our last encounter on the roof and I was grateful he got the message the first time.
I got irritated even at the thought of him… the mention of his name and Riley was wary too.
There was a light knock at the door and I made to stand up but Riley skipped there before me.
"Don't worry, I will answer that." She turned the knob and like a curse, Damien's presence filled the room.
Instant anger flooded my thoughts and It took everything within me not to react.
"Oh, Damien. It's been a while," Riley greeted, her voice too awkward to be ignored.
