Chapter 199 It Must Have Been Artemis

• I remember that it was indeed Artemis who lay beside me before I lost consciousness. Cadence has no reason to trick me, nor would he possibly do so. As such, the person who bedded me must have been Artemis. There's no doubt about it! But where is he? Why don't I see him upon waking? Could it be that he woke up before me and left furtively? Also, didn't Mom say she'd bring some people over to catch us in bed and have a few wealthy ladies as witnesses? Where is she?
• As all those questions lingered in her mind, Rhonda propped her elbows against the bed and sat up.
• The instant she lowered her eyes, she glimpsed the bruises littering her body. At once, a feeling of bliss suffused her.
