Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 696 Malice

At this moment, Emilia’s arrogant attitude that was directed at Melissa had completely dissipated. Her desperate desire to survive consumed her. She had to stay alive, and she was willing to pay any price necessary to do so.
