CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 6

It was not until the next morning that Shane finally gained consciousness.

His ebony eyes swept across his surroundings, instantly realizing where he was.

It seemed like he had successfully escaped from danger.

Bracing himself with his palms, he tried to sit up. The motion pulled on his sutures, and the pain caused him to let out a grunt.

From her position beside the bed, Natalie was shocked out of her light slumber at the noise.

When she lifted her head, she was met with his cold gaze.

Surprised to see him staring back at her, it took her a few seconds to say, “Hey... you’re awake!”

The woman’s features were delicate and beautiful. She would have been incredibly pretty if it were not for her pale lips and the dark eye bags under her eyes. It was obvious she had stayed by his bedside the whole night. There were also some rusty stains on her white blouse that looked vaguely like dried blood.

Right then, scattered memories from last night flashed through Shane’s mind.
