Chapter 168:
Her eyes closed in pain as memories replayed in her mind.
She remembered them all. It was just like yesterday when he had saved her from a group of wolves that were threatening her.
“I see you are already repairing the memories, bit by bit.” “I risked my life for you. I was almost killed because of you. I saw hell because of you. Those bastards whipped me with silver chains from dusk till dawn because of you. You think the scars are bad? You should have seen me years ago. I looked like shit!” He screamed in her face, covering it with droplets of his saliva.
Despite how sorry Rosa felt, she fought the urge to vomit at his bad breath.
“I saved your life and you promised to reward me, but after you got the King’s attention, you forgot everything I did and never kept your promise. You abandoned me like a piece of trash,” Ray swallowed, fighting his emotions as memories flooded his mind. Memories he nursed every day.
He had waited his whole life for a day like this… for Rosa to desperately need his help.
His joy knew no bounds when he saw her knocking at his door.
A favour she needed, a favour she would get, but his condition stands.
“You wouldn’t be standing here without me. You wouldn’t have been the Mistress if I’d been in my hiding place minding my own business while those seven guys were out there.
“You’ve forgotten about me. Look at where I live. Look at me!” he spat, glaring at the nightstand on the floor.
“I can give you the reward, or we can forget it if you prefer,” Rosa chimed in.

“Too late,” he cut her off, his voice firm. “I want you,” he added authoritatively, his large hands gripping her tightly while his fingers traced her skin.
“After that, we can negotiate how much you’ll offer me for this dangerous task.” Rosa sighed deeply, her breath tensing.
Aurora and the doctor… “You know, you always make me do things that take me to the edge. I hope this is the last time in my life,” he warned, his teeth bared.
“It won’t be,” Rosa reassured him, though deep down, she was doubtful. She was getting tangled up in a suicide mission.
He had nothing to lose.
“Why don’t you want it?” Rosa’s voice trembled.
Rav’s eyes widened. “You don’t need to worry. We’ll both enjoy it, trust me. You don’t know how long I’ve been longing for something like this.”
He paused, then spoke again, his tone serious. “Three bags of gold will be yours. No, five!” he corrected himself. “I want five bags of gold. It’s likely that I won’t be alive to spend the money, but at least I’ll get paid well.”
“Fine. You’ll have it,” Rosa replied, though her voice was laced with doubt. “But you’ll live to spend it.”
“I’m also doing this because I have feelings for that girl. She’s beautiful. I can’t wait to bury myself inside her…” He smiled darkly. “You can do whatever you want with her… with Aurora.”
Rosa shuddered, imagining the look of betrayal on her face.
