Chapter 225: An Intruder
As Demetri Frost jumped into the balcony of the large house, he could only shake his head. He might as well become a professional burglar with how adept he’d become at climbing the drainage pipes. Carefully, he looked into the bedroom, only to stop short in surprise. It was already past midnight and Nora was not in bed... Hmm... He’d need to change his plan. But first he needed to find her.
Slowly and silently, he treaded through her room towards the other place that he could guess where she was at. The green room that he’d prepared for her to sit in when she needed to rest or think.
Demetri shook his head at the lack of security in the house and shook his head. This old mansion was too dangerous for Eleanora and the task that she was about to undertake. He’d have to talk to Sterling for additional security patrols.
Carefully, he opened the door to the room and as he’d expected, found her asleep on the chaise lounge. Seeing her like this made him pause in Nostalgia. This was how he’d see her when he usually returned from work, all surrounded by her text books or her novels. He’d never thought that this would be one of his most cherished memories.
He hid behind the door immediately as he was her move before shaking his head. He actually needed her to be awake so why was he hiding?
Slowly, Demetri walked to his wife’s side, looking down at her thirstily. Nora. Soon you will return to my side...
Suddenly her eyes snapped open and she looked at him directly. He expected her to scream, already prepared to stop her by covering her mouth. Instead she frowned at him and muttered, " Oh dear Lord. Not again..."
Well, that was interesting. He raised an eyebrow at her reaction and realised that she was only half awake. She looked at him through half-lidded eyes and was sure that she was dreaming.
"What do you mean by not again? hmm?" He whispered the words.
She pouted and complained, " You’re in my dreams again. You promised me that you wouldn’t invade my dreams..."
"I also said that I do not have control over your subconscious..." Demetri pointed out slowly.
