Kapitel 665: Fear

Ava left the café, the woman's words echoing in her head. As she walked down the busy street, her thoughts spiraled. The fear of her past being revealed gnawed at her, more intense now than ever before. 

The last week had been magical. She'd never felt so cherished or even loved in her life. She knew of course Erasmi didn't love her, but she also knew that he cared for her and even valued her. And as she'd basked in that feeling, she'd forgotten the fears that she had kept locked inside.

Ava could still feel the woman's grip on her wrist, a chilling reminder of the power she held. She had to find a way to stop this, to protect herself and her new life. She thought of Erasmi, again. When she'd discovered the way he had punished those who had offended him. How would he react when he discovered her own deception. That she wasn't as upright and honest as he believed her to be?
