Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 194

It took Charlotte half an hour before she reached the main gate of the villa. Outside was a greenway with trees planted on both sides that had street lights installed on them, illuminating the road to her freedom.

Puffing up her chest, she continued her way out.

There was a breeze that night, and it enveloped her in a comfortable chill. As she looked at the patchy moonlit road and listened to the cacophony of frogs and insects, she felt as if she was in a painting.

The beautiful scenery calmed Charlotte and also strengthened her determination to stay away from Zachary.

I can’t let him control me… I won’t become a slave of that Devil! Awoo!

Just then, a beast could be heard howling in the woods.

Charlotte paused in her tracks and stood transfixed.

Is my ears deceiving me?Was that a cry of a wild animal I heard just now?

Nah… It can’t be… I must’ve misheard.

Clutching her chest where her racing heart lied beneath, she continued her way.

Awoo!

A howl echoed in the empty road again, and it sounded closer this time.

Charlotte’s eyes widened as her heart thumped loudly.

No way… There can’t be any wild animals here, right?

Tensing up, her head snapped to the side as she observed her surroundings. However, no other sounds seemed to be coming from the woods.

Yet, she was still afraid.

Although she went up and down the hill in a vehicle each time, she knew that the distance between Zachary’s villa and the main road was at least six miles.

She would need four hours at the very least to walk on foot for these six miles.

There was no guarantee that a wild animal would not pounce and feast on her while she was on her way down the hill.

With that thought, cold sweat started beaded on Charlotte’s forehead.

She twisted her head around to look at the nearby villa. I’ve only walked a mile. If I want to head back now, I can still do so…

Without any hesitation, she started walking back toward the villa.
