"She is really gone, Are you really okay with that my lord." Maliki says as he enters the room and picks up Anna's necklace from the table handing it out to Ren. Ren doesn't look at it nor take it. "To think she struggled, trying so hard to be eligible as your bride candidate, I actually feel bad for her." Maliki goes on talking to the silent Ren. However; Ren shifts to look at Maliki as he walks around the room cleaning up watching him slip the necklace into a candy dish on the dresser. "Guess this can just go to your bride to be, no point ordering another," He shrugs.


"What would you have me do Maliki you where the one who always warned me, I tried to fight wanting her but I failed, my heart became involved and then I am told by the elders I must marry another. I can't make the woman I fell in love with watch me marry another."


"She knew it was possible Ren, she wasn't stupid she heard the gossip between the men. You didn't even try to fight the elders on this one." Maliki became stern and annoyed with Ren's excuses.


"She was prepared to be the side lover, be the one you went to when you wanted to be yourself to relax. To think all that training for nothing. Well if nothing else she will be a stronger person in society I guess, and won't have to worry about the danger she will face without you this time. Least if she's not outnumbered I mean David and Serena are both still hiding in the shadows. She will have to watch it even if she isn't with us, David's the man she betrayed and he hurt her before she joined us and Serena you know won't forgive Anna for destroying her family and her chances with you." Maliki walks out of the room leaving Ren even more troubled.


God, damn it what the hell is he trying to do driving me crazy with thoughts like that, and what does he mean she had been training so hard. She had practically been back to normal life except the escort and nothing has happened since she was attack that once. After we left the company that day the pain in her eyes when I told her she would have to hurt the man she once loved I regretted I avoided training her as an excuse so that she'd never need to look that scared or hurt again. I locked her up wishing to just keep my angel but it wasn't meant to be. This must be for the best, she didn't belong here in the first place. Standing and going over to the dresser I grab the pendent and clasp the necklace around my own neck. God keep her safe.
