Chapter 58 

have time. 

Felicia didn’t have time to respond before the sound of keys turning in the door lock echoed through the 

room. 

Panic surged through her. 

She couldn’t let them know Stephan was there. In a moment of desperation, she shoved him into the closet. Then, she quickly jumped onto her bed and grabbed a book from the nightstand. 

Inside the closet, Stephan was bewildered. The space was cramped, filled with Felicia’s lingering scent–a light, delicate fragrance that was almost floral. 

His jaw tightened, and his lips pressed together. At that moment, Myra and the others burst into the room. 

Felicia frowned while sitting on the bed. She asked, “What’s going on? It’s late.” 

Seeing her safe, Myra let out a sigh of relief. “Licia, are you reading? Did you close the window? No one came in during this commotion, right?” 

“No one.“Felicia kept her expression calm. 

She put down her book and asked, “What was all that noise? Did someone break in?” 

“Yes, but don’t worry. The guards are handling it. The house is secure. 

“That’s good. I need to sleep now,” 

“Goodnight, Licia,” Myra said before retreating with the others. 

Felicia threw back her covers and got out of bed. She carefully locked the door before gently opening the closet. 

She stood before a collection of hanging clothes, where Stephan’s tall figure was forced to bend awkwardly. His expression was one of disdain, clearly exasperated by the situation. 

He was surrounded by a jumble of frilly, colorful dresses, creating a comical scene that was oddly amusing. 

However, Felicia’s amusement quickly faded. Stephan stepped out from the cramped space, astonishingly not holding her previous actions against her. 

Instead, he said, “Alright, let’s go.” 

Felicia froze, her expression stiffened. “Mr. Russell, let’s be reasonable. I did that to protect you, there was no other intention.” 

His lips curled into a sardonic smile, his tone cold and domineering as always. “I don’t play by the rules.” 

It was clear that there would be no reasoning with him 

Felicia gritted her teeth. No wonder the rumors about Stephan labeled him as a “living nightmare” 

This man could turn hostile in an instant. 

She asked, “Where are you taking me?” 

Stephan shot her a glance and replied leisurely, “Don’t you know medicine? Come with me to save someone. The payment is one million dollars.” 

“One million dollars!” Felicia’s eyes widened with excitement. 

Forget the nightmare rumors. This was her sugar daddy 

“Why didn’t you say so sooner?” She quickly tucked away her silver needles and looked up, her smile. becoming genuine. “Shall we leave now?” 

Her eyes sparkled like stars. Her face, untouched by makeup, appeared flawless and captivating. 

Stephan averted his gaze and tilted his chin, signaling Felicia to open the window.
