Crystal's POV:

I hid in my room all day and racked my brains for a solution out of this deadlock, but to no avail.

Rufus seemed to have me wrapped around his finger, not to mention the fact that we had already had sex. Now our relationship was even messier!

I ran my fingers through my hair in distress. I couldn't hide here forever. Rufus would definitely return sooner or later.

Rufus had only left me alone this morning because I had made trouble out of nothing.

"How about we escape? Just hide in a remote place. Maybe Rufus won't find you," Yana suggested after a while.
