Orion took a few steps towards her and touched her chin. "Are you truly remorseful for what you did to me?" He asked, staring into her eyes lovingly.
"Of course, I am. I'll never do something as stupid as that to anyone again," Calista said, expecting a positive response from Orion.
"Good. If you're being honest with me then I forgive you, but our contract still stands." He said and looked away.
"But why? You can get a new wife even today if you so please, maybe someone in your league, like your mother has always wanted for you. Why keep me here against my will?" Calista said disappointed.
"You owe me, Calista. I'm grateful for your little show of concern and your advice too, but you owe me a lot of money. Who's going to pay all that for you?" He said, his tone firmer than before.
