Chapter 79

“You were responsible for the upgrades,” Izzy said. She looked at the view of Macau from the deck as she felt Liam approaching from behind. She thought the flight upgrades were simply a part of her perks as a VVIP member. Then the hotel was simply her being lucky. It turns out, it was him.

This means that she wasn’t hallucinating about him too! He might just be on the plane with her! She simply didn’t notice him!

Farther out, the iconic Macau Tower stood tall, its spire reaching into the sky like a silent sentinel. The faint hum of life below was muted by the crisp chill in the air, sharp enough to bring color to Izzy’s cheeks.
