Chapter 45

• I stayed in the bath for a long time before I mustered the courage to step out with only a towel wrapped around my body. My legs shook as I took unsteady steps towards the king-size bed where Mark was currently lying, scrolling through his phone.
• The moment he noticed my presence, he looked up, shocked, and his eyes racked through my body, starting from the head and down to my naked feet. He visibly gulped as he rose on the bed, discarding his phone.
