Chapter 557

Instead of crying out, Stella simply endured the pain.

But Weston could see that she was hurt, so he let her go.

“Wash yourself,” he snapped before getting up and stomping out of the bathroom, leaving Stella alone in the bathtub.

Weston closed the door behind him. Now, all that remained in the bathroom was a thick cloud of mist. Stella couldn’t see very clearly. For a good while there, she just sat like a statue in the bathtub.
