Family Secrets Book 2 The Silver Dragon Series

Once The Foolish Wife, Now His Eternal Obsession

Calla Rhodes

For three years, Cathryn and her husband Liam lived in a sexless marriage. She believed Liam buried himself in work for their future. But on the day her mother died, she learned the truth: he had been cheating with her stepsister since their wedding night. She dropped every hope and filed for divorce. Sneers followed-she'd crawl back, they said. Instead, they saw Liam on his knees in the rain. When a reporter asked about a reunion, she shrugged. "He has no self-respect, just clings to people who don't love him." A powerful tycoon wrapped an arm around her. "Anyone coveting my wife answers to me."

“Yeah, I know" he said "I bought the whole cake, maybe you'll get hungry and your prince charming isn't with you." He gave me a smile and he looked away at the window covering his face from me.

“Whatever, Thanks." he suddenly grabbed and kissed the back of my hand and drive. When we arrived at the Academy's basement, we went for the elevator and he escorted me into my room and opened the door for me, he placed the cake into the fridge. I dived into the bed, Lance took off my shoes and brought a medicine and water from the shelf and thank him.

“Babe, your foot stinks" he teased and laughed "I'm just joking.”

“Get out, I'm not in the mood." Laid down and looked at him who is also looking, sitting beside me. "I was thinking, what would you do if someone betrays you?”

“What kind of question is that?”

“Just answer me.”

“I don't know" there was silence after he answered "Why?”

“Is 'I don't know' an answer?”

“I think maybe I'll just follow the rules." I stopped, I sit straight into my bed and listened to his answer.

“What rules?”

“That says 'Whoever betrays, life would be the price' " he said "Those are one of the rules that T.S.O follows even before.”

“Why death?" I asked "Is there anything else?”

“I don't know, you can ask the book if you want-"

“Lance, I'm not joking.”

“I'm sorry..." I took a deep breath and lean over my head on the headboard "Why did you ask, all of the sudden?”

“It just came up into my mind.”

“It depends..." I turned my eyes to him and listened "It depends on what kind of betrayal they've done, if he or she betrays me? Betrays the academy.”

“Ever since I was a kid, this academy is like my playground together with Aldren. This Academy is not just an Academy, its already part of our history as Users. Also, it is my life.”

“What if one of your friends betrayed you?" I asked "What if I am a traitor, will you be able to kill me?”

“Julien...”

“Would you do it, Lance?" he was silent, he just looked at me calmly and sighed. "Why won't you answer?”

“Yes, I'll be able to do it." hearing those words are shock to me, making me regret why I ask those questions to him.

“But you are already part of my life..." he walked closer to me and sat beside "I can't hurt you or kill you because if ever I would do that, it's like I killed the half of me.”

“They should pass over my dead body before my dead body before they'll hurt you, Julien." he gave me a comforting smile, and kissed my forehead, Lance phone rang seems like someone is calling him, he picked up his phone answering.

“What do you want? Bryle, I can't hear you. I'll put you on speaker"

Where are you? There's a student here that is looking for you, she said she wants to kill you.

"Bryle, what are you talking about?"

Oh hey, Julien. Where are you guys?

"We're at my dorm, what happened there?"

What?! Why are you guys in there?

“We didn't do anything, Bryle. Please, what's going on?"
