Kapitel 13: Proper fiancé

The world skittered to a halt. Elle's body was paralyzed again. This always happens when she hears this name. When it comes to that man, her fear always gets the better of her.

Elle whipped her head to look at Sebastian, clenching her fists to stop her fingers from shaking. She cannot show him this cowering side of her anymore. Unlike her who was almost being rendered useless by her panic and fear, Sebastian was calm and unbothered as he leaned there, his position not moving from before. She opened her mouth to speak but shut it close again even before a word managed to get past her lips.
