Chapter 778

Damp, gloomy, and bone–chilling.

A musty stench of dust mingled with the sharp scent of tobacco hit Marilla as she struggled to pry her heavy eyelids open, blurring the line between dream and reality.

In her daze, she felt a pair of hands, cold as a serpent’s tongue, slithering across her skin.

“Who?”

Marilla snapped her eyes wide open as if breaking free from a nightmare, only to plunge into another terrifying dream.

“Don’t play hard to get!”

Losing patience, Alston revealed his vile nature, his eyes glaring as he swung his arm and slapped her, “You, rejected by the Fairhaven family as a lunatic, were graciously taken in by the Bartleys, and you show no gratitude. Instead, you sneak around with other men! Do you think Aaron cares for you? He’s just enjoying the thrill of conquest! Just like I despise Jareth, I must marry you to make him watch helplessly as his woman falls into another man’s hands!”
