Chapter 157: Apologizing

Meredith felt so wrong - so disgusted. She stood there frozen as she gazed at the door that Marcus had just disappeared through.

The thoughts of self-judgment flooded her brain, drowning her with a dizzying headache.

What had she done?

What had she done?

Had she given him the wrong impression that's why he had kissed her? Yes she had to admit she was attracted to Marcus but that was it. It was just an attraction that she had no plans on working on. After all, her heart already belonged to another.

She loved Atlas and would never hurt him. Even though she didn't have much choice and she knew sooner or later she had to learn how to tolerate Marcus' touch. He was her future whether she liked it or not.

Guilt washed through her when she realized that she had slapped him. The pain and hurt in his eyes made her feel a pang in her chest.
