An Extra’s POV

Chapter 628

Gratiana gritted her teeth as she walked behind Rey Skylar.

Steamy breaths escaped her lips with every step she took, and every second or two, she would lift her gaze to look at the man who walked a couple of inches from her. She desperately wanted to close the gap and access what she was denied, but—

Gratiana tried her best to hide the immense guilt that was bubbling up within her, but it was getting too much to bear. A few moments ago, when Rey told her about the return of the Young Ones, she was disappointed.

Gratiana felt awful beyond measure.

She simply wanted to stay back and hide herself in the shadows; at least, until she had worked up the courage to face her little sisters.
