The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2106

As Ivy watched them go, she curled up in the corner of her bed, hugging her knees to her chest, silent, refusing to engage with the buzz-cut thug guarding her. Only now did she know the guy’s name was Jack.

She was especially longing for Balfour’s arrival, wondering if he would rescue her.
