When Blake heard Cassian's icy voice on the phone, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
Thank God. Mr. Lysander is still his usual cold sell. He just acts weird around Raven. | guess | can live with that,

It was only after Cassian's car disappeared from view that Isla finally snapped out of her daze. Her gaze toward
Raven had changed completely.
Isla had no idea what kind of spell Raven had cast to make Cassian so obsessed with her. What she did not

Raven glanced at Isla's expression, then gently took Ruth by the arm. "Mom, let's
go."
As the two of them headed toward the villa they had just purchased, a sudden, piercing scream echoed through
the sales othice behind them.
After checking out the location of the new villa, Raven and Ruth returned to Preston's house.
They packed up their things, then headed off to the new place with Zach, who had just woken up from a nap.
While Preston was not paying attention, Raven quietly left a bank card without a password on the coffee table in

Raven slid the card back into the envelope and micked it into her pocket.
An hour later, the taxi she hailed pulled up to the front entrance of the hotel.

It was worth noting that, to avoid embarrassing Lorne, Raven had made a quick stop at the mall beforehand to
buy a semi- formal dress.
Just as she stepped out of the cab, a group of people was walking toward the hotel from a distance.
"I heard the new general is supposedly under twenty. Can you believe that?"
"Sounds like gossip to me. Don't take it seriously. | mean, con, who becomes a brigadier general before
they're even twenty? That's ridiculous. As long as General Drakon and the other two generals still have their wits
about them, there's no way they'd let steenage kid take that position."
