Chapter 28

Michelle

I wake up in the middle of the night, nauseous and hungry all at the same damn time.

My period is super late, but I swear these are the weirdest symptoms ever. Never once have I had such sensitive nipples, not to mention having to pee all the goddamn time.

so disgusting for lying, but I don’t know what to do. Guilt is already eating me up alive. It feels like I’m digging my own grave. “Okay…” Maddox yawns. I can imagine him scratching the little hair over his abs. He sleeps with his t-shirt on, but I know they are there. The man is a work of art. “I’m heading out.
