Chapter 49: Burning With Jealousy

"Are you okay?" Desmond asked, rousing her from her thoughts.

"Of course," Dahlia lied through her teeth. There was no way she was okay when she couldn't push the thought of Romulus out of her head. She has always trusted her instinct and right now, it was telling her that trouble was brewing around the corner.

It was the second time she was seeing Romulus in her dreams; it couldn't be a coincidence. The fact alone he visited her bedroom with her sister around chilled her. What if he decided to kill them in their dreams? No, hopefully, she was wrong and this was her subconsciousness playing a trick on her.

"You don't need to be anxious when you're with me. I promised your parents you'll be safe so you don't have to worry about anything." Desmond mistook her apprehension for nervousness. Neither did she bother to correct him, it was better he assumed that than knowing what was on her mind.
