A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 176 I Only Have One Wife (Part One)

After sending Holy back home, Zac felt like he needed to explain himself a little bit more about what happened at the ball that day. He was sure that Essie was convinced with Holy's words and would punish him mercilessly, or maybe even get him sentenced to death.

He would die even more severely and miserably than a convict in the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.
