Chapter 143

ADRIANA

As soon as Alaina said those words, I turned back to the woman in utter shock. Now that I knew it was a she. I noticed her silhouette was slightly feminine.

She'd paused what she was doing. Her shoulder stiffened. Though I couldn't see her face so I didn't know what her expression was like. But if I had to guess, I would say she wasn't very happy her plan was ruined.

On the other hand. I'm trying to regain composure. Because my heart was pounding in my chest. It was so loud that it drowned out Alaina's voice or any other voice on the room.

I tried to pull my hands away from her so I could use it to block my ears. I felt like my eardrums were going to burst. But she refused to let go.

"L-let me…" I stuttered the words I wasn't sure I understand myself, talk less of her.

She refused to heed to my request. And I didn't know why but I started fight her. Desperately trying to get away from her.<
