Chapter 11

• Adeline's POV
• As I sat behind the wheel of my car, I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. I was on a mission to find the perfect dress for my upcoming date with a man who triggered emotions in me against my will. As I pulled into the mall parking lot, my heart raced with excitement and anticipation, the taste of power to destroy him with my looks.
• Without hesitation, I strode into every store that had a sea of red dresses. I was determined to make a lasting impression on my date, as I had been taught since I was a young girl. With the help of the store managers, I selected 10 stunning red dresses and clutched them tightly in my arms, hoping that Marilyn would approve.
