Chapter 54 Fifty-four

• FLORA’S POV

Whatever we had was transactional, wasn’t it? And I didn’t want to delude myself otherwise, knowing the caliber of person he was. Especially after what happened with Jayden.
• “Jesus Christ,” Alex muttered, breaking the silence as he removed the blindfold from my eyes.
