Chapter 307

The message appeared on Vespera's phone screen, right above the text box. It read, "If you don't want to come upstairs, should I bring it down to you?"

After sending the message, she locked her phone and tossed it aside.

The summer sun was glaring even in the early morning. It beat down on her face like fire, making her dizzy. Her breathing turned shallow. The light stung her eyes and blurred her vision with tears she refused to shed. She hated this feeling.
