Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 306

Clara's head was pounding, and she felt a wave of anxiety after what Aaron had said.

“No, just ran into a bit of a situation. I’m heading over now, should be there in about an hour.”

“Clara, don’t lie to me.”

His voice had a touch of confusion.

Clara's heart twisted. “I’m not lying.”

Back in the cozy café, the warmth in Aaron’s eyes faded as he watched Clara leave. Turning to the bodyguard next to him, he said, “Find out who her boyfriend is.”

It couldn’t be Dylan. Dylan should know that Clara has someone in her heart. A guy like him wouldn’t stoop to using Clara’s amnesia to sneak in as a third wheel, right?

Aaron chuckled to himself, pretty sure that Dylan had something to do with Lincoln’s troubles. Dylan was just too sneaky, and no one had caught on yet. But now that Aaron was back in town, he had plenty of time to play this game. And he knew all of Dylan’s weak spots.

A sly grin appeared on his face as he sat back down. This city is about to get interesting.

Clara arrived at the small cottage. It was already ten at night, and the darkness made the place feel eerie. She was about to ring the doorbell when the door swung open on its own. Inside, it was pitch black. She reached for the light switch but found nothing.

“Z?”

She shut the door behind her, feeling like she’d stepped into an abyss. Relying on her memory from last time, she made her way to the couch. Suddenly, arms wrapped around her waist, his voice a muffled whisper, “Did you get the gift?”

Clara let out a breath of relief, quickly turning to grab his hand. She couldn't see a thing in the dark but felt the bandages on his palm. Had he taken care of it himself?

“I did. Will you guide me to sit down?”
