Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 26

Rachel was so frightened that her face turned pale. She closed her eyes and subconsciously hugged the potted plant in her arms.

In the blink of an eye, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, and she was pulled into a tight embrace.

Everything happened so suddenly that Rachel could not react in time.

The pain that she was expecting from the fall never came. She wondered to herself, “What is happening?”

When Rachel slowly opened her eyes, she saw David in close proximity. It turned out that he had caught her just in time to break her fall.

Their bodies fit together perfectly. Rachel was instantly enveloped by the man’s large frame, leaving her with no space to escape.

Their gazes met without warning. Rachel could see her own reflection in the man’s eyes, and it was so intoxicating.

Her heart skipped a beat. Then, it started pounding. Soon, a tinge of pink appeared on her fair cheeks.
