When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 177



I didn't sleep a wink all night, constantly checking the time on my phone.

By eleven, I was already up, keeping an eye on the hallway.

Lisa had arranged for me to stay in the VIP suite, conveniently close to the staircase.

I counted the seconds in my head, and when I noticed the red light on the stairwell's security camera flicker off, I knew the surveillance system was updating.

Taking advantage of the distraction, I quickly left my room and headed up the stairs.

Two floors above my room was the rooftop. Pushing open the door, I gripped the pocket knife in my hand tighter.

The wind was biting cold, and I wrapped my jacket tighter around me, scanning the area.

Suddenly, the door shut behind me, and then I saw a hunched figure.

"Galen?"

I cautiously approached, and he spoke in a raspy voice, "Follow me."

He led me to a corner of the rooftop, sheltered from the wind and prying eyes.

Removing his hat and mask, I saw the scars on his face and instinctively covered my mouth to stifle my sobs. "Galen, how did you...?"
