Chapter 16 - Ferris Wheel
He lead me to the ferris wheel, where he helped me into the gate.
I sat down as the huge structure gradually got higher.
Casper Knightly
Raine. This was my dream. When I first saw you, there was a circus in town. They had this small ferris wheel and I wanted to take you on it.
Casper Knightly
I fell in love with you back then... and I still love you to this day.
He put his hand onto my cheek, looking right into my eyes.
Casper Knightly
I want you to be mine. I want to be a man that can protect you from danger. I want to be yours; I am yours.
Raine Blake
If you loved me, you'd let me go.
Casper Knightly
I'll let you go. I'll bring you back to Country X.
Raine Blake
Hold on, you seemed pretty against me running away.
Casper Knightly
You aren't going to run away. Not when your admission to Fairview University came through.
Handing me a letter, I ripped the envelope to shreds and squealed.
I couldn't help but smile. Fairview was my mother's university back in the day. But her boyfriend, who was my father, got her pregnant and she had to drop out.
After that, she married him before I was born for appearances and never finished her degree.
She dreamed of becoming an English major and I share that same exact dream.
Raine Blake
Hold on, acceptance letters were supposed to come a week ago. You were going to hide this from me, weren't you?
Casper Knightly
I'll let you go if you want. However, Laurie will be accompanying you to and from school.
Casper Knightly
I explained to you. One picture, one word, anything that associates me to you will make you a target.
Casper Knightly
So, accept the deal. Do it and you'll be free.
Raine Blake
There's a catch.
Raine Blake
There's always a catch with men like you. Tell me, what is it you want in return.
He said through his teeth:
Casper Knightly
I thought that I was clear. All I want is you.
That night, Casper say in his office, drinking the best whisky his hands could find.
He remembered the sweet smiles I made today and how I cuddled the cat he got me when I was nervous.
He knew that I couldn't run far away, not when Laurie was by my side for most of the dangerous parts.
He'd have people surrounding my campus, making sure that no suspicious characters came in.
He'd bribe some of the teachers to pay special attention to me. All that money could offer.
Laurie Jackson
Boss, are you sure that you want to do this? You know who occupies Country X...
Casper Knightly
I know. Just protect her to the best of your abilities. I don't want her to be unhappy.
Casper Knightly
If she is in danger, I'll fly to save her. If she needs me, I'll be there for her.
Laurie Jackson
Just don't neglect the family.
Casper Knightly
I won't. Also... this will keep her away from Yuri. I want you to keep him away from her too.
Laurie Jackson
I'll try my best, Boss.
Casper Knightly
Also... make sure that she is as happy as she can be.
Laurie Jackson
I will. If Lady Raine is to be the mother of the family, I'll keep her safe with my life.
