?"He hasn''t found out about their identities and the one behind them. He said their whereabouts are just as mysterious as their identities," Gideon ryed some of his conversation with Tom over the phone.


    "They are not the prime minister''s men neither are they some of my enemies'' men so who could they be?" Kayden was in deep thoughts as he lowered himself on the couch.


    "Who could this new enemy that emerged out of nowhere be and what is their purpose in keeping an eye on me?" Kayden questioned still staring into space.


    He tried to think about the recent happening and who he might have offended but despite spending two minutes thinking he couldn''te up with any name.


    He has been well-behaved ever since Joanna returned.


    The only one he might have offended was the Queen Mother and he knew she wasn''t the one who sent the men after him.


    "The enemy is in the dark while we are in the open and that is why he called to inform us to be extra vignt at every time. He said it is a matter of time before the mysterious men will discover that the one in the human world is a fake," Gideon went ahead to further ryed Tom''s words.


    Kayden lowered his gaze and stared at the picture he had taken out from the small envelope.


    On the three pictures spread on the table, three men in ck were captured. All three of them wore ck in the three pictures even though the pictures were captured on different days and locations.


    If not for their familiar outfits and physique, it would have been very difficult to recognise them as the same men in the three pictures.


    From the pictures, the men were floating in the air and it was something he hasn''t seen before.


    [With new trouble arising, I guess the time I have to spend with her is very limited. I need to speed up my ns to make her fall in love with me before things get out of hand. I don''t know how often I will be able to meet her if I returned to the pce]


    Instead of worrying about his safety Kayden was more concerned about the reason he left the pce in the first ce to be with her.


    After getting a proper look at the pictures Kayden pushed them aside and picked up the printed document lying on the table.


    Tom''s email had three paragraphs. His message was concise and precise. It matches with what Gideon told him.


    "Tom asked me to inform you to call him the instant you received the message. He said he still had some information to pass to you directly," Gideon said noticing that the King had finished reading the printed copy of Tom''s email.


    "I will call him but you need to leave right now. We can''t afford to let anyone find out that we know each other," Kayden said springing up to his feet.


    "But…," Kayden had ready led the way before Gideon could say anything.


    He wished he could spend more time with the King but since the King desired for him to leave who is he to make demands?


    He should be happy the King puts him in charge of managing the affairs of the pce in his absence instead of demanding favours from him.


    "Never should you show up around me except I sent for you," Kayden warned sternly when they reached the door.


    Gideon was trying to keep up with the King''s pace when he abruptly came to a halt.


    Had he not stopped moving forward on time he would have collided with Kayden.


    "Audrey!" Kayden eximed with widened eyes.


    In a haste, he grabbed Gideon by the hand and pushed him back into his apartment.


    Steadily he walked closer to the edge of the floor wall and peeked outside.


    "Not only was my perception urate but Chris is with her… I never knew that he was so diligent about missions except for today…," In a sh, he squat when he saw Audrey raise her gaze.


    [I must keep Gideon in my apartment until I am sure that everywhere is clear. I can''t afford to let her discover my identity because I am sure she is going toe in between me and Joan]


    Kayden didn''t bother to listen to what Audrey and Chris were discussing downstairs.


    He went back inside his room with Gideon following him closely.


    "You will stay here until I make sure that it is safe outside," Kayden informed. He bent and carried his cellphone lying on the table.


    Kayden strolled to his bedroom, leaving the sitting room for Gideon to make himself feel at ease.


    "His apartment looks so exquisite. Chris did a good job to make sure that Sir feelsfortable in his new environment," Gideonplimented. His eyes moved from one wall to the other.


    Meanwhile, as Gideon was taking his time admiring the apartment Audrey and Chris were downstairs talking.


    [I wonder whether His Majesty seeded with his proposal. How awesome would have this been!... Unlike others, I know the amount of effort he puts into the proposal to make sure that it was nothing less than perfection. I wish he seeded this time around]


    Chris was lost in thought while staring in the direction of Kayden''s apartment. He didn''t notice Audrey turned to re at him when he refused to leave as she had told him to.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "What are you staring intently at?" Audrey asked as she raised her head and followed his line of sight.


    "Did you drop something important over there or…,"


    "I will leave. I will visit you again when Miss Joanna is around," Chris cut in. He turned and started walking away not wanting to entertain any of her questions.


    Audrey only entered the building after making sure that he was gone.


    There was a frown on Audrey''s pretty face as she entered the elevator.


    Standing inside the elevator all Audrey wanted was to reach her home so she could freshen up.


    After spending an entire night in the bar she reeked of alcohol. She was in dire need of a refreshing bath.


    Entering her room, the first sign Audrey noticed that someone had entered her room was the arrangements of slippers at the door.


    Instead of one slipper, there were two slippers. The sweet fragrance ofvender when she reached the sitting room further proved her doubts right.


    Reaching her bedroom Audrey was astounded to see so many shopping bags arranged at the foot of the bed.


    "Don''t tell me this was one of the reasons why she forgot all about me and made me spend the night like a fool in the bar?" Audrey muttered as she strolled to where the shopping bags were kept.


    She bent and picked up one of the shopping bags. Unfortunately for Joanna, out of all


    the shopping bags, Audrey had to pick up the Louis Vuitton bag.


    "So the silly girl went shopping with him?" Audrey asked, her gaze glued to the bag in her hand.


    Because of how angry she was she didn''t have the luxury to appreciate the beauty and quality of the bag.


    "Since she had the guts to forget all about me because of him, just wait and see how I will deal with her for this," Audrey said as she bent and returned the bag to its original position.


    Audrey walked over to the side table and dropped her purse and cell phone on the brown table. She took off her clothes.


    Half naked she proceeded to the wardrobe and took out a clean white towel from it.


    She walked into the bathroom to freshen up.


    As Audrey was freshening up so was Joanna receiving a lecture in arge hall.


    Although she is always distracted whenever she was in a lecture with Amos, today she was more distracted without him around.


    Because she kept on looking at the back entrance of therge hall she barely focused her attention on what the middle-aged man in a ck shirt was saying.


    She let out a sigh after the lecture she paid no attention to came to an end.


    Joanna had over three sses that day so after her first lecture, she didn''t go home. She stayed on campus until it was time for her next lecture.


    Her distraction continued in her second and third lectures. She became frustrated after spending almost four hours looking forward to seeing a person whose shadow wasn''t in sight.


    Joanna was walking in the corridor leading to Audrey''s lecture hall when she bumped into Audrey.


    Despite seeing Joanna, thedy wearing blue ripped jeans and a cored white shirt walked passed Joanna like she didn''t exist.


    Joanna was stunned by Audrey''s actions.


    If Audrey was ying with her cellphone or if she didn''t wave at her, Joanna would have assumed she didn''t see her but…


    The astounded Joanna turned and run towards thedy walking in big strides.


    "Drey, what is wrong?" Joanna holding onto Audrey''s right hand asked worriedly.


    "Do I know you?" Audrey demanded to Joanna''s shock.
