The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 14

Tossing her phone carelessly onto the sofa, Nora sank into the bathtub. The warm water slowly soothed her nerves, allowing her tense body to gradually relax.

Outside the police station.

After countless unanswered calls, Aaron belatedly realized he had been blocked.

"Damn you, Nora! How dare you block me!"

Aaron put his phone away and got into his car, fuming. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Nora had suddenly started acting up for no reason. It seemed he had been too easy on her!

[Fine, let's cool down! Nora, you'll come crawling back to me!]

After replying to Nora's message, Aaron stared intently at his phone screen.

When ten minutes passed without a response, he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

"Damn it!"

With nowhere to vent his anger, Aaron slammed on the gas and sped toward Mia's luxury apartment downtown.

Mia was very surprised to get a call from Aaron so late at night. When she learned he had ditched Nora to come see her, her slight annoyance at being woken up instantly vanished.

She changed into a piece of sexy lingerie she had bought and waited behind the door.

A knock sounded.

Mia immediately broke into a wide smile and purred in a sultry voice, "You came—"

Her words died in her throat.

There was nothing but the sound of the wind in the long hallway.

Mia let out a confused hum and poked her head out to look around.

It was an apartment building with one unit per floor; it was unlikely anyone would get the wrong door.

Had she misheard?

Just as Mia was about to turn and go back inside, a hand reached out from behind her and cupped her breast.
