The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 201

Brendan did not expect that Mona would also be sent to someone else's bed as a gift.

He smiled and did not deny it. "I apologize for that," he said. "It won't happen again." He did not expect this either. He thought that there would definitely not be such a smart-ass in the future.

Mona increasingly felt uncomfortable. There was a hollow sensation inside her. She said honestly, "I've been drugged. Please help me call a doctor."

She was afraid that if this dragged on, she would not be able to control herself. After all, she did not know how long the effects of the drug would last or how strong it would be. To be safe, she thought it was better to go to the hospital.

'If Maxwell were to find out, I've no idea how jealous he would get,' she thought. She immediately contacted Haley and told her not to inform Maxwell.

"I can't call," Brendan said indifferently. "The door is locked from the outside, and there's no signal in the room."

When Mona heard this, she frowned right away. "What should we do then? Are we really going to be stuck in this room until morning?" She was very reluctant to be resigned to this situation.

She thought, 'This situation is going to be tough to handle. Brendan still looks like a morally upright gentleman now. But once the effects of the drug peak, who knows what he might do to me.

'I'm already married. I absolutely can't do anything which will let Maxwell down.

'Plus, if Haley can't reach me all night, she'll definitely tell Maxwell, who is in Nathontown. Based on my understanding of Maxwell, this guy will definitely rush over from Nathontown.'

"For now, we can only wait," Brendan said.

Mona exerted force to get up, but she noticed that her body was extremely weak. She could only collapse onto the bed again. This realization made her flustered again. 'If Brendan really wants to do something to me when I'm in such a state, I won't even have the strength to resist,' she thought.

Brendan met Mona's wary gaze. Noticing his own irregular breathing, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll go to the bathroom. Stay here."

He also realized that the effects of the drug had kicked in. His body felt uncomfortable, as if it was about to explode. There was an uncontrollable urge in his body that was clamoring, as if it was about to burst out.

He did not dare to stay with Mona anymore. If the two of them could not control themselves in the end and did something irreversible, Brendan would never forgive himself.

Brendan made himself stand under the showerhead and use the cold water to keep himself awake. However, no matter how cold the water was, it seemed unable to cool the heat within him.

He thought, 'I've only inhaled the intoxicating fragrance in the room for a moment. That isn't enough to cause me to end up like this. It seems that there's also something wrong with the drink Jenson handed me at the ball.'

After Mona saw Brendan walk to the bathroom, her constant anxiety slowly eased. Only then did her tightly clenched hands relax naturally.

Gradually, the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom. Mona knew Brendan was taking a cold shower inside. She thought, 'I can't just sit here and wait. If I wait here until tomorrow morning, Maxwell will be very worried, and negative talk will spread.'

Time rewound to the period when Mona went missing.

Haley chased after that man out of the restroom. The man seemed to be deliberately playing with Haley. Every time she got a little closer, he would speed up a little, instantly maintaining the same distance as before.
