Chapter 17

The overpowering stench of bad breath assaulted Ada’s senses, causing her stomach to churn. She instinctively recoiled, gagging at the offensive odor.

The scar–faced man observed her reaction, and his scarred face darkened with displeasure. He seized her slender neck and lifted her off the ground. “What’s this? Now that you’ve landed yourself a wealthy man, you’re too good for me?”
