Chapter 46

Christian and Scarlett made their way to the bustling shopping mall, the heart of the city's consumer paradise. The mall's modern glass façade glistened under the midday sun, promising a day of luxury.
As they entered, the cool air-conditioning enveloped them, providing a welcome relief from the summer heat. Christian couldn't help but notice the admiring glances Scarlett received from other shoppers. Her beauty, combined with the aura of newfound freedom, made her irresistibly alluring.
Christian guided her toward a high-end fashion boutique, his steps confident and purposeful. Inside, the boutique was a designer haven, with racks of exquisite clothing in every style imaginable. Rows of gleaming shoes and sparkling accessories beckoned to them.
