The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 293 "Yes," Henry said. My brows lifted. "Really?" His low chuckle caused my cheeks to flush. "Yes, Evelyn, | would happily testify." "Thank you," | said graciously. "The requests for the warrants are currently being written up as we speak. I'll keep you posted about the court date when the time arrives." "| appreciate that. Oh, before | forget, have you tried out that serum you were working on?" "| have. | started with the Aloe base as I'd mentioned and then decided to add in Rosehip seed oil to help reduce the visibility of the damaged skin tissue," | told him.

"That sounds incredible," he said. His voice was filled with honest enthusiasm that it was almost enough to make me forget about the stress | felt earlier. "How long do you think it will be before you start seeing the results?" "I'm honestly not quite sure," | confessed. "Considering this is the first time | have ever created something like this, I'm not totally sure how effective it's going to be. I'm afraid only time will tell." ---- "I have every faith that this serum is going to work," he said.

"In any case, Ill be in touch." When the call ended, | gave myself a moment to recount our conversation. Was it unethical to think that there was a slight chance that | had made a friend out of my brother's physician? Probably. | wasn't about to jump into anything given my previous track record for trying to make friends. Although | was fairly certain that Henry wasn't anything like Michael, there was still a strong part of me that wasn't willing to leave anything to chance. That night, Alexander and | had decided to head to bed early.

Between training and finishing up the last pieces of the case files for the upcoming court case, the two of us were easily exhausted. | happily reveled in the glorious feeling of Alexander's arms being wrapped around me. It made me feel both loved and safe from any possible outside threat. However, something was bothering my inner senses...| couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something didn't feel right. There was a pressure pressing in the center of my chest and the more | tried to ignore it, the worse it got.

---- | peered my eyes open to find the bedroom still fully engulfed in darkness. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand, | noticed that it was only a little after two in the morning. Thud.....Thud....Thud.... I narrowed my eyes in question. "What the hell?" | whispered Alexander was still fast asleep beside me. Something was clearly going on out in the hallway. My anxiety started to rise but | couldn't very well ignore it. Half-hazardly, | slid out of bed and tip-toed my way over to the door. | stepped into the hallway and was quick to find no one there.

That should have been reassuring enough had it not been for the faint glow of light that came from the far end of the hall. | dug up my courage and quietly followed the source of the light. \ hid in the doorway and silently peeked into the room to find a slim figure vigorously searching every nook and cranny. When they turned to the side, my heart leaped into my throat as their identity was revealed. Fiona.
