Chapter 109

---- Chapter 109 Grace woke up feeling warm all over.

It took a moment before she realized she was in bed.

She scrambled out, dashing into the bathroom to rinse her face.

The red marks on her neck caught her eye.

She leaned closer to the mirror and tried scrubbing them, but they wouldn't come off.
