Chapter 64

Mrs. Eriksen nodded profusely.

Rebecca had just recovered from the shock. She stared at us, her expression pale. “Ash,” she implored.

“Go back home!” Ashton told her before heading into the villa with me.

After pulling up the covers for me, his phone started ringing on the bedside table. I glanced at it and realized it was Rebecca.
