STAY AWAY FROM HIM

When she arrived at Khaos' palace, Zuri didn't see him, but there was an elderly woman waiting for her in the living room.

"Who is Mabel?" Zuri asked Gayle when a warrior approached her the moment she got down from the carriage and informed her there was a woman named Mabel waiting to see her.

"Mabel? She shouldn't be here, what is she doing here?" Gayle looked confused, but from the expression on his face, Zuri could tell that the woman's visit was anything but ordinary.

"Who is she?"

Gayle and the warrior then talked through mindlink, to prevent Zuri from listening to their conversation and then the warrior left.

"Who is she?" Zuri demanded again because her question was left unanswered.

"You don't need to see her, come, I will take you somewhere else," Gayle said, as he opened the carriage door and was about to usher her inside, only a woman's voice stopped him.
