Chapter 68 Refusing To Let Go

It was 11 pm when Erin finally arrived at her hometown, Southwrok County.

At home, she exchanged a few simple greetings with her mother, Cherry, before they each went to bed. Since it was also very late, Erin was exhausted. Her stepbrother, Gavin, had already gone to bed early as he had caught the flu. Her stepfather, Grayson, on the other hand, was working in the supermarket and would not return until approximately 1 am. Erin quickly washed up and went to her room to sleep.

At around 3 am, Erin thought she felt a pair of men’s hands sneaking around her body in rather inappropriate ways. The sound of the man’s heavy breathing snaked around her neck. When his hands continued to roam the planes of her body, Erin screamed in horror.

The curtains in her room were very thick, shrouding the entire room in complete darkness. She could not see the man’s face at all. Erin continued screaming until suddenly, the man clapped his hands in front of her lips and muffled her screams.

He growled in a low voice, “Stop screaming! It’s me!”

Something clicked in her mind. It was lan.

Meanwhile, there was a knock on her door. Cherry, still in her pajamas, anxiously asked through the door. “Erin, are you alright? What happened?”

Ian’s naked upper body pressed onto hers. Loudly, he replied, “Erin’s fine! You can go back to sleep. She just woke up from a nightmare.”

“Oh, alright. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to sleep.” Her mother left quickly, and silence descended once again.
