Chapter 178: Painful Reality of the Nightmare

Julie touched the surface of the bed, running her fingers on it and felt the coldness of it. As if the person lying down next to her had stepped out of bed for many hours now. A slight trickle of fear slithered down her back, and she looked around the room, but Roman was nowhere in sight. The window curtains had not been drawn where the sunlight was to pass through and being worried, she pushed the blanket from her body. She placed her feet flat on the cold ground. 

"Rome?" Julie called out his name, wondering if he was taking a shower, but there was no sound of running water. The bathroom was empty, and she looked at the slightly ajar door. 

It was unlike him to leave her when she was still sleeping in the bed. 

Stepping out of the room, Julie walked through the corridor that held a deafening silence.
