Chapter 19: Foolishly Romantic

"Nothing could take you away from me this time, Rain."

Rivana's mind kept reeling his words like a broken record. The more time they spent together, the more mysterious he became. What did he mean? And why was her heart yearning to just foolishly trust him despite all logic?

But at the same time, it also filled her with hope of changing her fate. She escaped marrying that shame of a man, so she could avoid her death too, right, even if it was sealed?

"Yes!" Even Callum joined in, thinking Azrael was probably talking about the earlier accident. "No one will ever dare to think of harming you again. He will make sure of it," he added confidently.

Azrael slowly came out of his trance and closed his eyes, cursing himself for the outburst. He needed to control these slip-ups, or she might slip away. Worse, she might hate him for ruining her past life.
