Chapter 0290

Ava.

It’s been about a week since I was discharged from the hospital. Everything so far has been great, even

though I still have this small fear that everything will fall apart.

him to his senses? Making him see what was always right in front of him, or was it something else?

possessive creatures. He probably didn’t like it that another man was taking his place in my life when I’d

worshiped him since I was a kid.
