I ran my fingers over it casually. "It's fine."
It was a clean shave.
But before I could pull my hand away, Ferris caught it and pressed it back against his jaw. "Feel it again."
"Feel what?" I was confused.
Hadn't I just checked? And I'd already told him it was perfectly smooth.
Behind his silver-rimmed glasses, Ferris's eyes gleamed with a mischievous light. "I don't want to accidentally scratch you later, Selena, so you need to be very thorough."
It instantly clicked, and my face flushed a deep, burning red.
This man. He was thinking about that.
I yanked my hand back and scrambled toward the door. "You scoundrel!"
Ferris truly was a scoundrel. He took me twice that night, leaving me utterly defenseless until I finally drifted into a deep sleep.
In my dreams, I nestled into a pair of strong arms, only to vaguely see my parents again. They were looking at me from afar, proud smiles gracing their faces.
"Luna, you can finally live a peaceful life. Mom and Dad can rest easy now."
"Mom, Dad, your case has gotten the attention it deserves! The police have detained Theodore's wife, and I'm sure Theodore himself will be brought to justice soon. I got revenge for you," I called out, running toward them.
