Chapter 60


    Chapter 60


    Blindfolded, I waspletely surrounded by darkness.


    I felt like I had fallen into an endless abyss, unable to escape


    no matter how hard I struggled.


    ?


    If I’d thought Roman was terrifying…I was learning there was


    someone even more terrifying than him.


    Nervous sweat drenched my body, and I couldn’t keep my legs from trembling.


    Tied, blindfolded… I was helpless.


    The only thing I could do now was try to calm down, to figure


    out what to say for him to let me go.


    “Sir.” My voice was just as shaky as I felt. “Wh-What are you


    doing?”


    The man did not answer. Instead, he picked me up.


    I yelped as I was lifted and then was thrown onto the soft


    hotel bed.


    I was positive he was going to ra pe me, but he didn’t touch

    me. Instead, I felt the bed shift as he sat down beside me.


    My dagger.


    It was beneath the pillows.


    If I could get just a little bit closer, I could use it to cut the ropes off my wrists.


    Wiggling around under the pretense of getting away from him, I managed to push my body closer to


    where the dagger was. But just as my hands were about to touch the pillows, the man suddenlyContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    pressed down on top of me.


    Then his rough voice was in my ear, so close I could feel the


    warmth of his breath.


    “You asked Roman toe to this hotel, and you drugged the wine. What were you nning?”


    I froze.


    Why was he asking about something that had nothing to do


    with him?


    Could Roman have seen through my n and sent this man to


    sniff out my true intentions?


    No, that was impossible.


    This wasn’t Roman’s style. If he had known I wanted to k ill him,


    he would have sent someone to chop me up and feed me to his hogs.


    “It’s…it’s just a kind of drug to get someone excited. Like an aphrodisiac.” I pretended to be calm and


    spoke quietly.
