Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 341

Mandy felt her sanity teetering on the edge, fraying under the double assault of anger and humiliation.

She shoved hard at Liam, her fists pounding against his chest. "Let me go! What the hell do you want from me?"

But Liam didn't budge. He caught her flailing hands in one of his, pinning her firmly against the partition wall.

In the cramped stall, their breaths mingled, the air thick with a tension that felt dangerously close to something else.

"What do I want?" he murmured, his voice low and rough. "Come on, Mandy. Don't tell me you don't know. What's this, huh? You use me for a night, then toss me aside like nothing happened? What am I to you?"

His breath was hot against her ear, sending a shiver down Mandy's spine and leaving her legs weak.

Her cheeks burned. "Last night was a mistake, okay? Can't we just pretend it never happened?"

He gave a bitter laugh, his eyes dark with possessiveness. "So you get what you want, then just walk away? And you call that a mistake?"
