Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

The bottle was adorned with a circle of dots and dashes.

Stella wondered where he had found such an ugly bottle.

She went straight for a shower and then to bed.

In the dead of night, someone suddenly reached out and touched her waist.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you drink that bottle of water?" Stella was taken aback.

"Did you drug me?" So he came in the middle of the night to be her antidote? Keegan's expression turned strange.

After a moment, he grabbed the quilt and stormed out with a grim face.
