Sorry Too Late (by J.J. Twelve) novel Chapter 62

62 Paranoid Woman

Evan said, “Maybe it’s just the weather.” He had checked the villa during the last exorcism. It was fine. “It’s not! It’s always freezing when I sleep, and I get the heebie–jeebies. I think this warrants a check.” Evan did not want to go, but he could change her place’s luck. A place with good luck could help with a person’s health.

He arrived at Ivana’s place, and Evan started making tweaks to the decorations and arrangement. At the same time, a car was trundling down the only road to town. The ladies were in there, visiting on Graham’s behalf.

“Keep yourselves in check when you see Ivana. She dislikes people who get excited all the time,” Graham said again.

“Yes, sir!” The ladies nodded.

Hazel was about to see the woman she looked up to. She was nervous, and her palms, were sweaty.

Ivana licked her lips and closed in on Evan, her eyes twinkling.

That was a shocking revelation, and Evan was thunderstruck. That whole thing about something haunting her place was a lie. She just wanted a chance to gobble him up.

She was no different after all. Evan wondered why people of power like them were making the first move on him. “You caught my eye on that very night, Evan.” Ivana beamed. “We thought the professional killers would do you in, but you took them down instead. You’re a doctor and a geomancer, and strong on top of that. What other secrets do you have up your sleeve?”

couldn’t grant a sense of security for women like her. Security was important for a woman.

Evan’s skin was crawling. He wanted to leave right away, but someone rang the doorbell. It turned out Ivana had, guests.
