Chapter 120

• It was the fifth day of Carmen’s stay at Ronin’s mansion—the old home where she had spent the most painful nine months of her life—and everything had been smooth so far.
• Despite Molly and Jasper’s keen interest in the love lives of their respective best friends, Carmen was happy to admit that they hadn’t doubted a thing, or at least it didn’t seem like they had caught on to anything. And that was a relief she couldn’t describe in mere words.
• However, a part of her couldn’t deny that having to keep this affair a secret from the person she trusted the most was something she felt immensely guilty about. But then again, what other choice did she have? She didn’t want to rush into anything. Was it wrong for her to be careful with her heart and feelings? Was it selfish of her to put her desires first?
