Chapter 226:

Alice couldn't quite understand what was happening, but her lips had already responded to his.

Their mouths moved together instinctively, and their tongues intertwined, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The sensation was so real.

Alice began to wonder if she was really in the afterlife.

Caden took a sip of water and gently gave it to her, repeating the gesture carefully, over and over.

Soon her lips went numb and her face started to hurt.

Only then did she try to pull away.

As soon as she did, Caden playfully bit her soft skin, showing his displeasure.

She let out a small moan of pain.

At that moment, he realized she wasn't dead.

The memories he had before were just a dream.

Once the glass was empty, Caden wiped his lips and looked at her.

"Do you want more?" he asked.

Alice shook her head, feeling satisfied.

She had accepted the fact that she was still alive, but there was something that puzzled her.

“How did you know about my dream?” she asked.

How did he know she had dreamed about hell?

Caden put down his glass and smirked.

“Because you were talking in your sleep,” he replied.

Alice was stunned.

Seriously? Was I talking in my sleep?

The revelation took her by surprise and she found it hard to believe.

“That can’t be true,” she muttered.

Without a word, Caden pulled out his phone and played a recording.

His own voice filled the room.

“I like you… a lot.

You’re handsome, fit, and exceptionally skilled in bed.

” Alice felt mortified.

The voice on the recording was unmistakable, too clear to be a sleep conversation.

Worse, Caden wasn't just listening; he was conversing with her.

"I love sleeping with you.

It makes me feel amazing," the recording continued.
