The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 82

"Ugh, gross!" Freya shot Kieran a glare. "Seriously, dude?"

With that, she flipped on the light in Kieran's room.

But something was off about the light. It had been tampered with. The room was bathed in an eerie red glow when the light was on.

Freya's expression soured instantly at the sight. Kieran's eyes narrowed dangerously, clearly jumping to the wrong conclusion.

By then, Freya was starting to feel the effects of the overpowering scent in the air. She quickly pinpointed the source of the smell, doused the scented candle with water, and then rushed to the window to throw it open.

A gust of cold air swept through the room, clearing the lingering scent. Breathing in the fresh air, Freya finally felt her body relax slightly. Kieran, too, seemed to regain some clarity.

"And for the record, I didn't set up any of this!" Kieran frowned in response.
