Chapter 22

It was on the fifth day after leaving the mine that Nikki and the others reached Strongfair. It was a long, uneventful journey. On the way, everyone not associated with Dominic asked questions regarding their home, but most were about him. What was he like? What were his favorite foods? Nonsense like that.

Nikki answered almost all of them. But the princess wanted to know information about Nikki and the others in Dominic’s family. They gave answers to each question, reluctantly, though.

“Just a word of advice, princess. When we get to our home, whatever happens, let it be.”

Princess Amelia was hesitant, but she asked, “What does that mean?”

“We already told you that Dom left because of some untold reason,” Nikki began. “Well, Lily and the others will more than likely demand to know what happened. And… let’s just say that, uh, they might lash out.”

Corrina and Nancy nodded, agreeing with her.

“You mean they might want to fight?” Esmerelda asked, wanting to verify what she was saying.

“Yes, and with good reason,” Nikki said. “I am his bodyguard, appointed by the family, and I let him out of my sight. All four of them are angry at us right now, and when we explain what happened, they will more than likely get furious and want to kill us.”

“Really?” Amelia asked in disbelief. “What did you do that would make them do that?”

“We were selfish, princess,” Corrina answered, but she didn’t give the reason why.

Princess Amelia and her guards nodded, agreeing to let them hash out their issues.

The group wasn’t bothered by the guard at the gate, which made the princess smile, her attire was convincing. They made their way to the Williams’ home. It was around closing time for the booth; Nikki knew that Tianna and the others were probably already home.

When they arrived, Nikki, Corrina, and Nancy dismounted and gave the young ladies the reins to their horses.

“Sophia, Ulga, Janelle, that goes for you too. Whatever you hear or see, let it be,” Nikki advised the young women as they took their packs off the horses. They nodded and after Nikki told them the stable and barn were in the back, the riders strode off.

With a few calming breaths, Nikki, Corrina, and Nancy walked inside the house. They heard conversation as they made their way towards the others.

Lily heard the door open and was about to rush over to see if it was Dom, but her hopes were dashed when she saw it was Nikki. Corrina and Nancy were behind her. Tianna, Celina, and Emoli rose from the dinner table while Misty stayed seated. She knew that something was about to happen.

“So, you’ve returned,” Lily hissed. “Without our husband.”

The three looked down at the floor, not wanting to look the others in the eye.

“You better have a damn good reason as to why,” Tianna warned. “Because if you don’t, well, let’s just say you better be prepared for the consequences.”

Emoli and Celina agreed.

Nikki sighed. “I take full responsibility. Corrina and Nancy are not responsible for this.
