The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2

 

 

The House of Royals. 

At 20,000 square meters, the House of Royals was the most luxurious villa in all of Cansington. 

It had everything from a garden, swimming pool, and golf course. 

At the foyer of the villa. 

Thea sat on the soft couch, looking around at the villa in disbelief. It resembled a palace more than anything. 

 

When her grandfather chose a husband for her, she knew that anyone with a backbone would never agree to marry her, much less into the Callahan family. 

She did not know who her husband would be at all. 

However, she guessed that he would be greedy and lazy. Someone who coveted her family’s wealth. 

Yet, he brought her to this paradise. 

James knelt and lifted her veil. 

“Don’t…” 

Thea panicked and shied away. With scars crisscrossing her face and entire body, she was a fearful sight. What if she scared her new husband away? They had not even been properly introduced yet! 

James removed her veil anyway. 

Thea was extremely scared, her heart beating out a nervous rhythm in her chest. She felt so ashamed, wanting nothing more than to disappear and hide. 

James tilted her face up gently. 

It was a shocking latticework of scars. 

James traced his fingers over them. 

His heart ached for her, knowing that it was all his fault. If she had not saved him, Thea would not be in this situation. 

He had a tender expression on his face, an unusual look for him. Almost in tears, he said, “Oh Thea, you’ve suffered too much.” 

Thea did not have the courage to look at James directly. She fidgeted with her shirt instead. 

Gently, James told her, “Trust me. I’ll help you recover.” 

Thea panicked again, still not looking at him. 

“Get the medicine.” 

James stood up and barked out a command. 

Immediately, the doors of the villa burst open. A few men in black suits walked in, carrying a few boxes. 

Inside the boxes were expensive pills, tablets, and other types of valuable medicine. 

James got to work, fiddling with items inside the boxes and mixing some of them to form a salve. 

Once he was done, he crouched down by Thea. She was still playing with a corner of her shirt. He took her scarred hands in his, but she pulled away and hid them behind her back. Looking at the floor, she asked quietly, “What… are you doing?” 

“Relax, Thea. Take off your clothes.”
