Chapter 225

In the bathroom, Victor lifted Isadora and set her gently on the marble countertop.

He began to undress her, piece by piece.

Isadora's hazel eyes were glassy and unfocused. She squirmed in his arms. "Who... who are you?" she slurred.

"You jerk, don't take advantage of me! I'll... I'll call the police."

A muscle twitched in Victor's jaw.

"Isadora, look at me. Do you know who I am?"

His voice was harsh, but his hands were careful, almost tender, as he eased her out of her clothes.

Isadora's flushed face turned to the side. She cupped Victor's flawless, handsome face in her palms and squinted at him, leaning in as if trying to see him clearly.

After a long moment, something seemed to click in her mind. She mumbled, "Vi— Victor? What are you doing here? Where... where am I?"

Victor's tone was cool. "You're in heaven."

He continued undressing her, moving faster now. If a button wouldn't yield, he simply tugged until it gave way, not caring if it tore.
