It took an hour before Zuri finally stirred and opened her eyes groggily. And the first thing she saw was Khaos, who was staring at her with a teasing smile.
"Have a good sleep?" He raised his brows.
Zuri stretched her body and felt the pain. "My body in in pain," she grumbled.
"Expected." Khaos nodded in understanding. "We need to meet with your informant today, right? I will go with you."
"He doesn't like it when there is a stranger that come to his place."
Khaos stood up and kissed her forehead, which surprised Zuri with his gesture. He could be very sweet if he wanted to. "Let's see. There are not many people, who could resist my charm."
"You are being full of yourself," Zuri said with a chuckle. She liked it whenever Khaos was being playful like this.
Standing up, Zuri ignored the pain, her body was screaming and scolding her to not sleeping in that position again and she made a mental note to not do it again.
"Let's go."
Khaos didn't wait for her to adjust with the pain and walked toward the door. He wanted to get the information as soon as possible and out of instinct, Zuri followed him, but not before she caught a drawing on the table and she picked it up.
"Did you draw me?" Zuri stared at it. In there, she saw herself in sleeping position, looked uncomfortable, but peaceful at the same time.
Khaos turned around and saw what she was staring at. "Apparently yes, since you didn't have self awareness to your surroundings when you were sleeping."
"Why should I have a self awareness when I was sleeping?" Zuri folded the paper carefully and put it in her pocket. She would keep it with her.
"You need that, Zuri." Khaos crossed his arms, his expression turned serious. "Someone might kill you in your sleep if you put your guard down completely."
Zuri furrowed her brows when she heard that, but Khaos started to laugh and urge her to be quick.
They had their breakfast and after Zuri changed her dress, they went to the jewelry store, where Zuri would meet with the informant, but the owner of the jewelry looked at Khaos up and down, seemingly unhappy because she brought someone else with her, but he said nothing.
In the end, they went to a small room in the back of the store, where they had to go through a secret passageway.
Khaos looked around his surroundings, his expression was solemn, while Zuri stared ahead of her, because Xaden appeared and kept talking about degrading thing to her.
He was dead.
Zuri had to keep reminding herself about that. She was hallucinating, but he looked very real when he leaned his back against the wall and gave Zuri a lopsided smile filled with ridicule.
"The stamp is in Great Lunar kingdom," Liam said, he counted the golden coin, seemingly not trusting Zuri and wanting to make sure he was not deceived. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
