Chapter 27
"It is a kind offer but Graham will come your way since you were present when I was last seen. When he shows up at your doors, I don’t want you to have to lie that I am not there. You hate liars so I don’t want to make you out to be one," Rose said, remembering his words from yesterday. "I will be fine."
Rose survived the brothel better than most so she could use that same strength to survive this world. Graham troubling her was enough. Zayne shouldn’t have to experience it or anyone else.
"Who said I was going to lie about hiding you?" Zayne asked.
"Well, it would be foolish to admit that you helped to hide me when Graham would stoop low to get me back. He won’t care about any agreement you have with the king. He will make your life hell until I am returned. You do not need that," Rose said, hoping she had talked some sense into him.
Zayne didn’t know Graham like she did so he didn’t know what he was in for. It was fine now since Graham wasn’t questioning Zayne but once he started, Zayne might grow tired of Graham bothering him and then toss her back to Graham.
Rose couldn’t take that chance. "I will continue as planned and go to a church. There is somewhere I wish to see and I can only find it if I move around."
"So be it," Zayne replied, no longer interested in trying to convince her.
Rose had to know what was best for her.
While he didn’t believe she would last on her own, he did think that she would make it a little far.
