The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 554

The hallway was pitch black, and I was already on edge.

That low voice echoing right behind me spiked my terror to the absolute limit. I whipped around and instantly yanked a canister of pepper spray from my bag.

Pfft! Pfft! Two quick sprays completely cut off whatever the person was about to say next.

"Why didn't you invite him up for..." I vaguely heard him manage to choke out.

But he never finished the sentence, letting out a pained groan instead.

At that exact moment, the elevator doors slid open. The warm light from inside spilled out, illuminating the tall silhouette in front of me. I recognized him instantly. "Ferris?"

It was Ferris.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded.

I had only moved here a few days ago, but in all that time, Ferris hadn't come looking for me or even tried to contact me.

He either didn't know I had moved out, or he simply didn't care.

After all, during dinner earlier, he saw me with Caspian. Caspian had explicitly stated we were on a date, yet Ferris had swallowed his temper, said absolutely nothing, and walked away with Zoey.

He hadn't bothered me afterward either. It was obvious he had zero interest in my personal life.

I never expected him to track down my new address and ambush me in the dark, scaring half my life away.

Why was he here? How did he know where I lived? What did he want from me?
