His Dark Obsession

78. Working Together

EVANGELINE.

“Take care…” I say softly, clutching the phone tightly in my hand.

“You too. Make sure you get some rest and don’t spend all night looking over the books.” Zedkiel’s voice comes.

I feel my stomach twist knowing I am about to disobey him and not only that, but I am going to go back to that chamber.

“I won’t… I love you. Take care of yourself.” I mumble.

“I will. Love you too.” He says quietly before hanging up.

My heart is still racing from his words.

Oh, how I miss him….

“Still can’t get over the fact that that’s our Zed.” Kash smirks from where he is sitting on the ground, going through several thick written files regarding the scriptures.

Lucia is in the corner making notes on every minor detail she’s finding and then Isa is doing a second over on what Lucia has been through already in case there’s something they miss. I have a feeling Kash had placed them like that since he didn’t trust Lucia, which upset me a little, but I don’t let it get to me.

Isa has her hair pulled up in a messy bun as she’s bent over the papers.

“Yeah, I know! Zed has never been like this.” She gives me a wink and smirk, but I’m still not sure what to make of her. Is there a past there?

I don’t reply, simply giving her a smile before I glance at the time. If I am to make it… I need to take the ritual bath soon.

“From what you said and the king’s explanation, I don’t think there is anything more… but this means that Raziel cursed one of his two children… Evelyn, to be precise.” Kash says, looking up.

I nod. It’s as we figured. “So, he’s the reason…” Lucia murmurs.
