Chapter 57

Evander walked into Charlotte’s bedroom, only to catch her in the middle of taking her medicine.

Startled, Charlotte quickly shoved the bottle out of sight. But he strode over in an instant and seized her wrist, his eyes sharp and unyielding. “What are you hiding?”

She shrank away from his grip, wincing in pain. “Let go of me.”
