Chapter 158

• The next day, Marisol woke up in her own room. In her disoriented state, she felt surprised and confused at first, the once familiar space no longer felt like hers, until the memories from the night before came flooding back, bringing the pain along with it.
• As the events of the previous night replayed in her mind, so did the embarrassment and sorrow. She wanted to stay locked in her room for as long as it took for her mind to forget about it, but, a stubborn feeling of hope fluttered in her chest, causing Marisol to get out of bed, dress up and make her way to the hidden castle after breakfast.
• On getting there, she found Cedric to be in a slightly better mood than last night, hope rekindling within her, until he raised his eyes to meet hers, his expression darkening before he silently walked out and away from her.
