TUSSLE BETWEEN US

LUCIAN'S POV

Uncle Cadman had called twenty minutes before Conri got back to the mansion. He had explained in detail what had transpired at the foot of the mountain after they had captured Enid, Chakaa, and Judy. After listening to everything he reported, fear gnawed in my stomach. Memories of how I was tortured came rushing and I felt annoyed at the decision they had made. I had expected Conri to kill them all for what they did to me and hang up in the middle of Uncle Cadman's warning that I should not be harsh to Conri Dolf.

It was an hour to dawn when I sensed Conri's presence and knew he had come back to the Freki resort. I heard the sighs from him as he came up to the room and sat up on the bed. The minute he opened the door and saw the look on my face, his body froze and he just resigned to enter and close the door.

" How dare you,?" I seethed at him in anger. "You spared that fucking bitch after the way she tortured me?"
