Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 42

The storm raged on all night, and even as the dawn broke and the sky started to lighten up, the rain showed no sign of stopping.

Frederick was jolted awake by the thunder, only to find Marguerite still nestled in his arms, sleeping soundly.

A wave of tenderness washed over Frederick.

Her strong sense of self-worth radiated from her very bones. She didn’t seem like someone who could harbor any ill will.

Frederick glanced at the woman in his arms, who was still deep in slumber.

Not wanting to disturb her, he carefully withdrew his arm from around her neck. He got out of bed, put on a black robe, and left the room.
