Chapter 204 204: Midnight madness...

The wedding aftermath…

I lay on the matrimonial bed with Clarissa snoring gently beside me.

It could have been Lyla. It still felt like a dream that I had come this close to making her mine. I stared blankly at the ceiling as the shadows danced across it in the dim light.
