Chapter 172 She Would Never Be Free

Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male’s boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother’s boots dangling above the ground.

“Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago.” the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath.

His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother’s feet across the expansive room as the male strolled leisurely along holding her aloft in the air by her neck.

Long after Ada’s trembling had subsided and her tears had dried up, the figure of the beautiful male had appeared through the darkness, striding nonchalantly towards her with something clutched in his hand at his side.
