Chapter 23

• Kendrix
• When I gave Arielyn my contact, I never expected her to call me in the first place, I was shocked when I got her call right after I dropped a call with my dad, he called to query me about the fight with Jordan and I told him it was his fault that we were fighting, if he had raised Jordan right, he would not be so disrespectful, he had threatened to pass the ultimatum to other people and I was so close to telling to do as he please, heck no one will take him serious once they find out what he wants in exchange for the throne, even I am finding it hard to believe the orient is what he truly wants, he had ended the call after telling me to focus on what’s more important instead of petty fights, if I didn’t know my father, I would have assumed he was rooting for me, but I know him enough to know that those exact same words are what he used or will use for Jordan too, for me, if he didn’t want us fighting, he would have just let the eldest be king and I was the eldest, by right I am supposed to be king, if he wasn’t so greedy, he would have asked for something else but no, he had to go for something as huge as the orient, Jordan on the other hand was lucky Arielyn had been present because I would have dealt with him even more than I did, he had it coming for his stupid offer and for talking nonsense about I and Arielyn.
• I took a break from my thoughts and watched the woman in the car with me from the side mirror while I drove towards my house, of course, I had a lot of questions but I didn’t want to ask just yet, not with the way she looked, whatever happened it must be really bad, maybe that’s why she had been walking on her own when I met her earlier, and to crown it all, that loser called her names to her face, the woman obviously had a lot going for her, the fact that I am the only she could call explains a lot, I didn’t know much about her yet and I wanted to protect her from everything that made her sad.
