The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 219 No More Hiding

Stella let out another scream, sprang up, and turned on the light.

The moment her feet touched the floor, a sharp ache shot through her legs.

It hurts.

With the drug in his system, Abraham had lost all control, and the night had felt like being claimed by a wild beast.

Stella gritted her teeth through the soreness and forced herself to clean the room, wiping away every trace that could betray what had happened.

Finally, she made her way to the bathroom. Just as she retrieved the bloodstained scarf, there was a knock at the door.

Dragging her aching legs to the door, Stella realized how much her body hurt now that the adrenaline from dealing with Eddie and Abraham had worn off.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

Abraham’s voice came from outside.

The moment she heard it, Stella’s barely settled heart seized up again. “Wh–what’s wrong?”

Abraham said, “The shower in my room’s broken. I’m coming in to take a shower.”

Stella froze.
