The next morning when Zhehan woke up, he felt pain in his head.

Adeena  came to his room and gave him something to drink, "How do you feel now?"

Zhehan sat on his bed as he clutched his head," how did I get back?"

Adeena sat beside him, "you don't remember?"

Zhehan tried to remember last night's events, then he remembered that it was Simon who was drinking with him so he must have bought him back.

Zhehan drank the drunk Adeena gave him, ever since the death of her parents Adeena has been living with Zhehan and his family.

"I am fine, sorry for the trouble." He whispered.

Zhehan then decided to take a bath because he was reeking alcohol.

A long relaxing sigh escaped his mouth the moment he sat in the bathtub in the hot water, these past few months were hectic, very hectic.

So many things happened and so many things changed, everything has become so unstable.

He made a mental note to thank Simon, suddenly a scene flashed in front of his eyes.

"I am sorry for what happened to you, and I will try to find out why this happened."

" I just hope Zhan is not behind this."

Zhehan sat up straight, his tiredness was gone, and he felt anxious.

Did Simon really say that or was it all his imagination?

It has to be, it has to be his imagination he was drunk last night and it was all in his mind.

But then why did Simon yell at Zhan that day? 

Zhehan clutched his head, what the hell is this mess?

When Zhehan came out of his room he got dressed and just when he was going out he met Adeena.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I am just going out for some work."

Adeena nodded, "Brother I want to talk to you about something."

"What is it?" Zhehan asked.

Adeena clenched, her fist, "Brother please try to maintain your distance from Lord Zhan."

Zhehan was now alert as he looked sharply at Adeena, "And what's the reason behind it?"

Adeena shivered, "Brother, that man isn't normal he is dangerous please maintain your distance from him."

"How is he dangerous Adeena? He is a normal human like us."

Adeena's eyes widened and she became aggressive, "No brother he isn't normal, he is not normal at all he is favored by the goddess, he is gifted."

Zhehan sighed ."Gifted with what?"

"His blood, his blood can heal others brother, you know that saintess? Emerald? that bitch who was a maid how can she invent a medicine for black venom, because it wasn't her medicine it was Zhan's blood."

Zhehan grabbed Adeena's shoulder and hooked her, "What are you talking about?"

"I am not  lying brother it's true, I am afraid that Zhan is planning something."

Zhehan felt a headache he gently patted Adeena's shoulder, "You are paranoid, I understand your pain but Adeena I think you need rest."

Zhehan was about to leave but Adeena grabbed his hand again, "I will say this again brother that man is evil and I am not sure, and neither I have any evidence but I have a hunch that it was Zhan who killed my parents...you should be careful." With that Adeena walked back to her room.

While Zhehan was left with the thoughts of what she said, first Simon and Now Adeena, both have said something about Zhan, what's going on.

When Simon woke up the next day, he was in his room, the memories of last night flashed in his mind, as he slowly sat on his bed.

He opened and closed his fist and rubbed his temples, before stretching himself, his mind was being controlled now, so now he can't leave this place unless Zhan allows.

Simon clenched his fist, how come things came to a point like this.

"Oh you are finally awake," It was Zhan who had come to his room to check on him, "It's pretty late though and the breakfast time is over a long time ago."

Simon didn't respond to him, but Zhan continued to speak, "You should go and get fresh, there is someone who wants to meet you."

"Who is it?" Simon asked in a cold voice.

Zhan took out clothes for Simon and ordered the maid to prepare the bath for Simon.

"It's Marquis Zhang Zhehan of course, your dear friend."

Simon was confused, "And you are just going to let me meet him?"

"Yeah, why not?" Zhan shrugged.

"Aren't you worried that I might..."

Zhan smiled, "Tell him about me and everything I have done?"

Simon didn't say anything because that was what he was thinking.

But Zhan patted Simon's shoulder, "Go ahead do it, but please think of the consequences of your actions."

Simon looked at Zhan, "You can just control my mind can't you? why bother wasting your breathe?"

Zhan's smile dimmed, "I don't want to do it I don't want to control your mind because that would mean that I have already lost you."

Simon didn't say anything after that and Zhan quietly walked out of the room, while Simon sighed.
