Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1554

She started to say no right away, but her thoughts drifted to the wide open American prairies, the distant wolf howls at night, and the rush of youthful energy from those memories. Her cheeks warmed up, leaving her unsure of her decision.

Then Matthew said, “Take your time. Let me know your decision when I'm back.”

Some things are just too hard to say face-to-face. It's like when couples argue over texts, making it seem like the end of the world, but a hug in person could fix everything. Yet they still choose to shout through their screens.

“Alright.”

After the call, Aubree found herself staring at the dessert on her coffee table. Sweets weren’t her thing, especially since she had to stay in shape as a celebrity. She didn’t open it and instead, on a whim, put it in the fridge, unsure of how it would be in the morning but hoping it wouldn’t spoil.

Thinking she’d be up all night, she was surprised when she fell asleep quickly. But in the middle of the night, she woke to voices outside her window.

At first, she thought it was a dream, but the voices grew louder. She shot up, glimpsing a shadow move past her window. Terrified, she locked her door and double-checked the window locks.

Back in bed, she was trembling, unsure if it was all a dream or reality. She kept her eyes on the window all night, but as daylight broke, nobody had come in, and her back was slick with cold sweat.

The villa had excellent security, so she reached out to management to check the surveillance footage. Soon, the video was on her phone.

There really had been two sketchy figures sneaking around last night. Her face turned pale with fear, and she didn’t know who to call. She needed someone with her, preferably a guy.

It just so happened she was chatting with Matthew on WhatsApp and casually mentioned what happened. She wondered if it was some crazy fan and realized she wouldn’t be getting any sleep tonight.
