Chapter 75
Isabella gritted her teeth. She remembered this scene from before when he
insisted she sit on him and undress him piece by piece.
The memory of that moment flashed through her mind, and her face flushed
red. Luckily, the room only had a small lamp, so he probably couldn’t see the
color of her face clearly.
She approached him, swiftly unfastened the buttons of his coat, and took it
off him without much courtesy.
When his upper body was bare, she stepped back. She didn’t want to do this
anymore. “You can take off the rest yourself.”
The man let out a disdainful snort, which was full of mockery, as his gaze was
fixed on her face. He didn’t move from his spot, but he started to remove the
remaining clothing on himself.
His actions were slow, almost like he was intentionally prolonging each
movement while adding a touch of casual flirtation.
Isabella shot him a glare and turned away.
Even though she turned away, she could feel his scorching gaze on her back,
as if he was about to devour her at any moment.
Finally, the man moved his steps and quickly entered the bathroom.
Isabella breathed a sigh of relief, and her shoulders immediately relaxed.
Her first reaction was to run, but when she reached for the door, she found it
wouldn’t budge.
Damn it!
This guy came prepared.
This place belonged to Natasha, but most of the people here were
associated with Dariel. Seth’s words carried weight here.
She hesitated for a moment, opened the window in the room, and looked
down. She was only on the third floor, and there was a ledge below. Jumping
down should be fine.
Since they hadn’t exposed each other, she figured she could just leave, and
he couldn’t say anything as he had no evidence.
“B*stard, there’s never anything good when you show up…”
Isabella muttered under her breath and was about to run away. Before
climbing out of the window, she remembered something.
She walked to the front of the bathroom and locked the door shut.
Water gushed inside, and the man didn’t notice this small disturbance.
Isabella chuckled softly. She also turned off the water heater switch, knowing
that it wouldn’t take long before there was only cold water left inside.
“A cold shower might help you sober up.”
She snorted heavily and quickly went to climb out of the window. Then, she
jumped down without hesitation.
Thud! A sharp pain shot up her ankle.
She had an old injury that hadn’t healed completely, and she added a new
injury within three days. The pain was unbearable to her.
However, a beast was chasing after her. If she didn’t run, she would be worse
off than being swallowed whole.
Isabella gritted her teeth and limped out of the alley. Luckily, Priceton was in
the city center. She reached the entrance of the subway station in a few
steps and went inside without thinking twice. Then, she bought a high-speed
train ticket back to Imperia.
She had been running around, and her feet were almost done for. Her heart
was struggling to keep up, too.
