Reis POV
I should have known peace never lasted long around me; atleast not in my life…
One moment I was standing in the grand ballroom with Mira beside me drinking our champagne and celebrating my reclaimed title…
The next—
“Reis?”
That voice hit me like a memory I had buried badly.
I turned and faced her slowly, almost reluctantly…

She stepped close enough to kiss my cheek before I could stop her.
