The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Stanley’s mind wandered back to Wendy’s delicate face, her soft lips fragrant and inviting. He had kissed her not long ago, and

the memory of that tender moment lingered.

As Jessica leaned in for a kiss, Stanley turned his head to avoid her.

Jessica missed her mark and pouted. “Why are you avoiding me?”

Stanley couldn’t understand it himself. Jessica was the one he liked. A kiss between lovers was natural. He didn’t like Wendy..

But he had just kissed Wendy. The sensation of her lips was still vivid in his memory. As someone with an obsessive cleanliness disorder, the idea of moving seamlessly from one woman to another left him physically uncomfortable–almost repulsed. It felt

Stanley didn’t turn around. “What about the antidote for Imperial Garden?”

“I sent an assistant to deliver it, but when he entered the room, It was empty. Mrs. Hawk had already left,” Zayn replied.

Stanley turned slightly, his brows furrowing. “Where did Wendy go?”

What Wendy didn’t know was that the man who came to her room was sent by Stanley to bring her the antidote.

His frown deepened. “Was it a man or a woman?”

Zayn hesitated again. “That…”
