Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

456 No route to escape

Jeslyn stopped to look back, wondering why he wasn’t chasing her. By now, he must have known she wasn’t in her room. At that moment, she felt something was wrong. Her instinct told her to go back to the house but she didn’t want to return, so she ignored her instinct and continued heading to the
