Chapter 77: After Dinner You’re All Mine

Elena led me through the different sections, her cheerful voice filling the air as she pointed out the elegant lounge, the cozy dining room, and the sundeck with its stunning view of the ocean.

At the edge of the deck, I paused, leaning against the railing to stare out at the endless blue waves. The soft breeze carried the faint scent of saltwater, and for a moment, I let myself get lost in the view.

I couldn’t believe I was spending my birthday like this–on a luxurious yacht with Gabriel Storm. Months ago, this had all been a plan to get back at Adrian, to hurt him where it would sting the most.

But now… now it didn’t feel like revenge anymore. It felt like something I couldn’t control, something that made me feel alive.

Yet instead of feeling elated, I felt a strong sense of guilt wreck my heart. What was I doing? How was this going to end when the truth finally came out?

“That sounds perfect.” I nodded.

We talked for a while. Elena was chatty and open, telling me about her life, her relationships, and even her

As I sipped the wine, warmth spread through me, but after a while, my head started to feel a little heavy. Gabriel had warned me his call might take a while, but it was starting to feel like forever.

Elena leaned forward slightly, her brows knitting together. “I’m sorry if I bored you with all my stories. Would you like to lie down for a bit?”

I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the faint pressure building there. “That would be great,” I agreed softly.

The room Elena guided me to was luxurious and beautifully decorated, with soft light elegant furniture.
