★★★
Harley was still day dreaming when another slap struck her face.
She has just been slapped by ember, she was still trying to figure out what happened earlier until Alex spoke.
“She already apologized so why are you venting your anger out on her?”, Alex asked and Harley realized that she has been day dreaming.
“So everything I said was just my imagination?”, she muttered.
“Back to work everyone”, Cyrus Instructed and then his eyes landed back to Harley.
Harley suddenly became nervous seeing that he was staring at her.
“Don’t you think you have some explanation to do?”, Cyrus said walking towards her.
“Lo—rd Cyrus…. Hmm”, she called.
“Follow me.”, He ordered and she stomped her leg on the ground.
Ember stared at the both of them jealously, she would admit that Cyrus was no longer given her the attention he used to, he was just focused on Harley.
Even everyone in the academy talks about it, there has been a bet recently that lord Cyrus loves her and some disagreed.
“Go on and explain, I am all ears.”, He said as he sat on a bend while she stood, her eyes glued to the ground.
“I am sorry.”, She simply said.
“Why did you say the spy approached you?”, He asked coldly and Harley released a deep breath before talking.
“She wanted to help me gain your attention.”, She replied and he didn’t talk for several minutes.
“Why?”
“Because I love you.”, She said as she closed her eyes.
She was scared of what he was going to say or do to her afterwards.
“You committed different offense — do you know that?”
“First, you disobeyed me by not leaving, secondly, you called me by my name, you touched me, you talked to me without respect and you entered my kitchen.”, He said.
“I — I was just worried, I couldn’t bear seeing you in so much pain and I am sorry for everything that happened but I don’t regret it.”, She said and he raised a brow.
“So you will accept any punishment?”, He asked and she nodded hoping that it wouldn’t have to deprive her of her food.
“I will be thinking of your punishment.”, He said.
“I will leave now.”, She said about to leave.
“How did you recover your memory of that day?”, He asked.
Harley thought of what to say but she didn’t see anything, she didn’t want to drag ruby into all of these.
“You better don’t lie to me.”, He added.
“A friend of mine, she helped me.”, She replied.
“So she knows? If I find out that she didn’t keep her mouth shut, then I will be forced to punish you.”, He said and she nodded.
“You should get rid of wh@ťěver feelings you have, I won’t accept it so if I were you I won’t waste my time.”, He said.
“Are you — are you rejecting me?”
“What does it look like to you? You will only get hurt if you can’t control your heart.”, He said.
“If you are worried about me getting hurt, you don’t need to worry about me.”, She said.
“I am not worried about you, I just don’t want anyone to die because of me.”, He said.
“Why can’t anyone die because of you? You keep saying that, why?”, She asked.
“I owe you no explanation.”, He said icily.
“Please tell me and i won’t disturb you on this again.”, She pleaded.
“Why should I even tell you? you are not that important.”, He said.
“I know but it wouldn’t hurt if you tell me.”, She said.
“Please…!”, She pleaded.
“I don’t want another punishment, the punishment I receive here is enough. If I cause the death of anyone, I will be punished for life.”, He said and Harley opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
“I don’t even know why I am telling you this, get rid of your feelings.”, He said and walked away.
“How many more things is he keeping to himself? He has so many secrets, I wish I can make him trust me to share his pain with me.”, she said.

“Are you still willing not to join us?”, Magnus asked and ember scoffed.
“You think you can trick me just to join you?”, She asked and Magnus just smiled.
“I’m not tricking you, no matter what you do, Cyrus is falling for Harley already and you can’t do anything to stop it except you join us.”
“Join us to win Cyrus while I get Harley.”, He said and ember just hissed.
“I know how badly you want to destroy Cyrus, so why should I trust you?”, She asked.
“Yes I want to destroy him but I can’t ki|| him cos he’s an immortal, once I finally bring him down and make him bow to me, you can finally have him.”, He said and ember thought for some seconds.
“Are you sure about that? Cyrus will finally be mine?”, She asked and Cyrus nodded.
“I have no reason to deceive you.”, He said.
“Fine I’m willing to join you, I will do everything just to have Cyrus.”, She said and Magnus smirked.
He released some black smoke from his body and they entered to that of Ember’s body making some chances.
Her fingernails became long, her eyes became very dark and her lips turned black.
She already has some demonic powers in her.
“I won’t take it lightly with you if you go back on your word.”, She said and left.
“Boss are you really letting her join us?”, Someone asked and Magnus scoffed.
“She is an idiot, does she really think that Cyrus will be hers?”
“I will just make sure I have many more people from his academy to join us. I want to see how he would react when he knows that someone who he has protected and cared for like a little sister is betraying him.”, Magnus said and they all laughed.
“Now that we have two people very close to him, he wouldn’t be more broken.”, Magnus added and they roared in laughter again.
