Chapter 299: Cell room- Part 1

Music Recommendation: Philip by Martin Phipps

Madeline didn't fall asleep immediately. Being held in Calhoun's arms for the very first time in the bed, it took time for her to adjust to the brewing feelings she felt in her chest right now. Oddly she felt safe and comfortable with him like this. Who knew that there would be a day where she would feel like this in his presence. 

She felt Calhoun's breath softly hitting on her skin every time he exhaled, tickling and stirring her body. The night was much quieter than a few hours ago that was filled with commotion because of Markus who had run away in the presence of Calhoun and the High House members. Though the candle lights had exhausted themselves in time, the fireplace continued to burn, making a crackling sound every once in a while.
