S hit.
I had offered three months because I would no longer be in this world by then. And if Roman still wanted me…well, he could go and sleep with my ashes.
But three days? That was hard to accept.
As I was about to reply, Roman let go of me. I swallowed the words back.
In any case, I could at least get away tonight.
“Alright, babe.” Roman bent down and kissed my cheek. “I’ll leave you alone tonight, then. See you in three days.”
I touched my check, resisting the urge to wipe it off, feeling disgusted.

I couldn’t get Harper into trouble.
I stood in the same place, completely still, and thought for a long time. Finally, I went to the Contacts on my phone, and my finger lingered on the number I’d blacklisted.
That familiar name had my heart beating hard and fast.
He was the only one who would stand a chance against Roman. But he didn’t want to see me anymore. If I called him…would he

After a long hesitation, I still didn’t dare to make that call.
I knew Griffon very well. When he got tired of something, he
