Chapter 330
Chapter 330:
“You should go see Jaris. He’s been very worried and angry,” Maddy broke into my thoughts. “Although, I wouldn’t blame you if you chose to run away right now. I don’t even like him.” She rolled her eyes.
Well, she seemed pretty excited for someone who didn’t want to care. “I—I’ll go meet him. Thanks p>
I found my way to him. He was in the midst of some elders, who seemed to be saying something serious, yet I doubted they had Jaris’s full attention as he kept looking around.
His eyes finally landed on mine, and the shock and relief I saw in them were heartwarming.
He didn’t even try to excuse himself from the elders. He just walked away from them, came to me, grabbed my hand, and led me away from the crowd.
He didn’t stop until we were in a less noisy hallway.
“What the fuck, Lyric?! Where on earth have you been?” he rasped. Despite the way he looked like he wanted to snap my neck, I still managed a smile. “You won. Congratulations, King Jaris.” It had a really nice ring to it. King Jaris.
“This is no time for jokes,” he snapped. “You weren’t home. Where did you p>
I blinked away the excitement, hating that I missed the actual show. I wasn’t there to encourage him; wasn’t there to give him his first hug. That was sad, really, after putting in so much effort to make this happen.
More reasons to hate Caden.
“Did you have any cramps, Lyric?” His tone turned serious. “I swear, I’ll pull down your pants just to check if you don’t answer me right now p>
My eyes dropped to the floor. “I—I’m fine. You won. That’s all that matters p>
“That’s not all that fucking matters!” He grabbed me roughly again. “Where the hell were you? Did Caden do something p>
I looked him in the eye but couldn’t give him an answer. Yet it was more than enough of an answer.

Slowly, he released my hand, his eyes glinting with shock and hurt. “Caden took you p>
My eyes dropped to the floor again.
“And you didn’t say a word p>
“He had the kids p>
I took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, Jaris. Today was too important for me to ruin in any way. I was ready to do anything to make sure Caden didn’t win p>
When he asked me to explain, I told him the story from beginning to end. He only grew a bit calmer when I said Caden didn’t touch me. Fortunately, his punch to my face didn’t leave a bruise.
“Shit, you should’ve said something, Lyric! He could’ve badly hurt you. How do you think any of this victory would’ve been worth it if something happened to you p>
My heart clenched at the thought of how the said victory was achieved.
“Zarek didn’t make it.” My voice dropped.
