CHAPTER 100

"I believe you owe me, miss. Please tell me your name so I can call you by it."

"Fine. My word is my word. My name is…"

"Wait. I have another request," he stopped her, lifting his hand between them. Her eyes swept from his lifted hand to his face.

She was confused for a minute there. Didn't he want to know her name more than anything else? So why now was he stopping her?

"Fine. What is your request?"

"Promise you would grant it.'

'Am I mad?' she questioned inward. Who makes such promises as though it was a blank cheque.

Even a blank cheque was dangerous and yet this man was making it so that…

She let out a sigh. Did he think she had no clue as to who his brother was?

"Sorry, I do not get to promise you anything as you too do not get to make such demands."

"Trust me, it won't be bad."
