So wonderful to see the opportunity for their family to be complete! Hopefully they can earn Lucas and Lily’s trust and find a way to keep them safe amongst the type of visitors Rhain is likely to have! Not sure how they will need to teach them to protect themselves. Jas I really hope you are feeling ok. Huge love from all of your loyal supporters! ❤️
The author is truly amazing so has been honest about the reasons for the delay being that she is having a tough time personally with her mental health and is supported by moderator K Deck who has been really helpful in communicating this in support of Jasmine on the majority of the chapter comment threads (including this one), to show us any updates. We all just need to be calm and kind and respectfully and ideally not add to the pressure. She’s an incredible writer and we all miss her, but Touch of Flame is now complete and there are 83 chapters on an alternative app MyFavReads called Captive of Night which is also amazing. Or right here on this more user friendly app check out all of Jasmine Josef’s incredible complete works. Hope you’re ok and appreciate it’s such addictive storytelling and it could be difficult to wait, but now you have the context it’s important we all look out for and read through all the K Deck updates for clarity. Hope this helps!
I think he feels the same way but hasn’t realised yet!
Her relationship with Rhain had stirred a sense of greed within her. Had he not introduced her to this new aspect of life, she might have been satisfied with her role as a trophy or puppet wife. It was the price she was willing to pay to ensure her own safety and her mother's. But with Rhain, she found herself craving more. She...liked him. A lot.

Score!!! This is a good discovery for Daisy that he’s a hotty!
His voice pulled her from her rapt contemplation, laced with an unexpected gentleness, and hint of playfulness, "I trust the sight before you is to your satisfaction?"

Richard shook his head. "You were not wrong. I was different. I was distant. I really don't know who I was. I did not even acknowledge my own daughter. It was not only you, Andrew. I wronged all of you. You did nothing wrong to me. There is no shred of hatred I have toward you that made me behave that way. It was me."

A knock at the door interrupted their restless pacing, and Richard called for the visitor to enter. It was a guard, bringing news that Andrew had returned. Meredith's eyes lit up with hope, and she instinctively moved toward the door, but Richard gently held her back, whispering, "Let me talk to him." Meredith's concern was evident in her eyes, but she nodded in agreement.

Your use of language is fabulous Jas! I had to just look up ‘purview’ = the scope of influence, or range of experience or thought. Amazing! I looked up ‘covetousness’ from a previous chapter too which means the feeling of having a strong desire for things that other people have or envy. Honestly we are learning vocabulary as an added bonus! So impressed. Thanks Jas! Brilliant xxx
Rhain's gaze met hers, and he leaned back in his chair, a small smile tugging at his lips. "I suppose my days are not so different from other men of my station," he said, steepling his fingers before him. "They're filled with responsibilities and duties that come with my title. I'm responsible for overseeing the management of our lands and the welfare of the people living on them. Every day brings new challenges – disputes to settle, transactions to oversee, and decisions to make that will affect everyone under my purview. Then there are the matters of diplomacy. Maintaining cordial relations with our neighboring estates is as crucial as managing our own."

"I thought pearls would appeal to a pirate and a sea creature," she mused, her voice laced with playful seduction.

Don’ look into his eyes Daisy!
His compliment, unexpected and sincere, left Daisy momentarily speechless. He had a charm about him, one that was strikingly different from Rhain's. Tiberius radiated a warm charisma, one that made it hard for Daisy to remain guarded. Despite her initial fears, she found herself returning his smile.
