The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 795

Unable to shake the bad feeling, Danny stands up and heads toward the private bathroom wing. He reaches her door in under two minutes.

He knocks gently. "Tara? Are you almost done?"

As his knuckles rap against the wood, the door creaks open. The lock is completely busted—clearly forced open.

A sickening wave of dread washes over him. He steps inside, moving swiftly toward the inner shower room. Dead silence greets him.

"Tara?" he asks, his voice tight with worry.

Inside the stall, the hot water had inexplicably cut out minutes ago. Tara is curled into a tight ball in the corner, her teeth chattering uncontrollably as icy water pools around her bare feet. The chill has seeped into her bones, leaving her too numb to even call for help.

When she hears Danny's voice, it's like a lifeline. Summoning every last ounce of her strength, she manages a weak, trembling whisper. "D-Danny..."

The broken, fragile sound sends a jolt of pure panic straight to his heart. Abandoning all hesitation, he rips the shower door open.

A blast of freezing, damp air hits him, but the sight inside makes his blood run cold. Tara is huddled on the wet tiles, her complexion ashen, her lips tinged blue from the freezing temperature. The showerhead is dripping icy water over her shivering frame.

The sudden intrusion jolts Tara out of her daze. Realizing she is completely exposed, panic floods her system. "Don't look!" she gasps, desperately trying to shield herself with her arms.
