章 364: Union of Hearts

"Malik, son, forgive me. Give me the chance to apologize and repent for my sins. Malik.."

He woke up with a start, drenched in sweat. Malik could feel his eyes water as the familiar voice of his second mother surrounded him.

He looked around trying to get a footing on his emotions. Once his eyes adjusted to the lighting, he was certain that the room wasn't his.

It took him a while to comprehend things. He had blacked out in exhaustion at his fiance's place. Beside him, the woman slept peacefully.

With the light from the moon illuminating her features, she looked especially alluring. Malik observed her features for a while, forgetting why he had woken up so first.

Unlike the venomous snake that he was used to, she resembled a fragile sleeping beauty. Her long lashes fanned her face forming a little shadow over her cheek.
