“Hmm...that sounds nice! But what am I supposed to do with it?” Eryna looked up at him with a questioning gaze.

“You? Didn’t you hear me say it’s worth Billions of dollars?” Micah pressed on his words.

“Yes, I did hear that, But I asked...What...am...I...supposed...to...do...with...it?” Eryna too spoke with an annoyed voice.

“You...You can sell it for money...I guess?” Suddenly Micah wasn’t sure how to answer her. Eryna pouted and blinked a few times before giving him a nod.

“Hmm...Okay! Thanks!” Eryna pushed the seat away and stood up with difficulty, she dragged herself out of the room holding onto the file. She closed the door behind her with a bang.

“What was that?” Micah stared at the closed door with an unexpected look.

Eryna came back to her room and sat up on her bed and lifted her hurting legs and started massaging it lightly while her gaze was on the file beside her, she was suspicious of Micah and knew that he was up to something.

“Why did he give me this if it’s that precious?” Eryna was confused, She picked her phone and called Renya to ask her about this.

Renya picked up the phone on the first ring and she spoke with a worried voice.

“Are you alright? I was about to call you, I was having a bad feeling…”

“Yes, yes I am alright...you can breathe now!” Eryna cut her in the middle of her sentence and calmed her down.

“Fu...I had a bad feeling. I thought something had happened.” Renya spoke in a worried voice.

“Well, when you put it like that ...I did suffer some serious injuries…” Eryna chuckled as she glanced at her feet.

“Injuries? You got hurt?” Renya was on the brink of crying.

“I was kidding, nothing happened...how is Simba by the way? Did he eat?”

Eryna questioned.

“Yes, he has been very happy since you came, He even asked me to tell him a story before he sleeps, we have grown very close.” Renya bragged.

“Hah! That’s my boy,” Eryna chuckled.

“Oh, I forgot! I called you for something important,”

“What is it?” Renya replied.

“Micah! He gave me a file of some land as a gift...it was out of nowhere so I am very suspicious,”

Eryna glared at the file beside her.

“File? What is it about?” Renya spoke cautiously.

“He was talking about some precious piece of land that costs billions…”

“Hm...I have no idea? Could you send me the pictures?” Renya asked.

“Yeah, sure!” Eryna pulled the file closer and opened it up to click some pictures.

………………………………..

The lovely birds chirped in the garden, the air was fresh and blew lightly making the leaves rustle. Micah was jogging while thinking about Renya’s expressions from yesterday. It was stressing him out because it seems to be way opposite to what he wanted. He had it in his mind that she would show any sign of greed or even a little interest, but her bland voice and a blank expression made his stomach feel uncomfortable.

He was done with exercise and it seemed like he had overworked himself while spacing out. Micah stepped into the mansion and walked through the lounge when he heard the same chuckles coming from the kitchen, Micah knitted his eyebrows and followed the chuckling sound.

Just as he closed in to the kitchen door the sound of laughing cleared up, it was Renya laughing at Ayden’s jokes. Micah wanted to walk in but suddenly his footsteps halted when his gaze fell on Renya.

She was sitting on the kitchen counter swinging her legs in the air. She had a bright smile on her face making the dimple on her cheek more prominent. She had her hair tied into a loose bun from which the curly hair dangled down. Micah stood dumbstruck looking at her with an astonished gaze. He felt something odd in his heart. He wasn’t comfortable, he wanted to leave but his feet made him stay and stare at her like an idiot.

But his eyebrows seized in dissatisfaction when he saw the bandages around her feet, he felt ashamed.

‘She isn’t wearing any slippers...’ Micah thought at the sight of her delicate feet being wrapped roughly.

“My lady the pancakes are ready...Just like you instructed, would you like to taste them?” Ayden kneeled dramatically in front of Eryna and presented the plate filled with a mountain of crumbled pieces of dark brown mass.

“Ahm...Are you sure I instructed you like this?” Eryna lifted her eyebrow while staring at the plate.

‘Sniff...you are not gonna taste it?” Ayden spoke dramatically.

“No! And neither are you gonna taste it...Let me make it.” Eryna moved slowly to get off the kitchen counter.

“Wait, let me help.” Ayden placed the plate away and walked in closer.

“No! I can manage…” Eryna smiled and slowly placed her legs one by one on the floor. But it seemed like her leg wasn’t happy with leaving the air and a sharp pain surged through her foot.

“Ahh!...'' This was the only thing that escaped Eryna’s lips when the world around her wiggle along with her body.

‘Bump--

This time Eryna’s eyes were wide open when her face landed on the firm chest. A pair of hands secured her back and didn’t let her feet touch the floor. She was floating while she was in the standing position. Eryna suddenly felt odd and she tried to get out of the odd position when she heard a cold voice.

“Stop struggling, Your feet are hurt! Don’t just hop around everywhere like a bunny.”

“Huh? Mr.Prick…?” Eryna was surprised to hear his voice up close, she thought it was Ayden who had helped her but it turned out this time Micah decided to help.

“You can let go now!” Eryna was flushed because of the situation she was in right now,
