Chapter 186

Hailey didn’t know how much time had passed when Gracie’s voice suddenly rang out from the hallway.

“Why won’t this bathroom door open? Is it broken?

Hailey felt the doorknob behind her start to turn. Her heart raced in panic.

She felt like she was losing control. Owen was pressing her, while his girlfriend was just outside.

Owen was relentless, pushing her without giving her any space to breathe.

I’ve called the staff, they should be here soon, Raphael’s voice echoed from outside.

“Please hold on a moment, came the voice of the staff.

Hailey’s eyes widened. She pressed her back against the door, feeling the key being inserted into the lock.

Owen didn’t budge. He remained close, pinning her against the door.

Owen cased off her slightly, and their noses almost touched.

His breath was heavy as he whispered with a low, mocking laugh, “It’s been three years, Hailey. It’s been so long.”

This was the real greeting,

Three years apart, and he finally greeted her properly.

Hailey barely had time to respond before she felt the door behind her was about to be opened.

If Gracie and Raphael saw them in here alone, with her clothes disheveled and her face flushed, everything would be ruined.

Hailey shoved Owen away, scrambling to hide herself.

She had just hidden when the bathroom door opened.
