Recalling what had just happened, Vera stole a glance at Minerva from the corner of her eyes.

She saw that Minerva was looking at her full of concern.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer for me. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

The look of care in her eyes made Vera even more afraid to face her. She felt guilty as if she had done something bad to her.

"Nothing." Vera lowered her head and did not dare to look her in the eyes.

Someone was knocking on the bedroom door. Both women in the room straightened themselves in an instant with their faces turning pale at the same time. It was Maddox!
