Chapter 25

• MALIA’S POV
• I was in the bathroom, in the bathtub, just lying there and thinking about the events of the past few days when I heard my phone ring from the bedroom. I had forgotten to bring it with me into the bathroom and I felt too lazy and content where I was to go gett it, so I ignored the ringing and made a mental note to call whomever it was back as soon as i got out of the bathroom. My eyes roved over the luxurious bathroom as memories ran through my mind.
• The bathroom was nothing short of opulent. The bathtub, a massive, claw-footed masterpiece, was set in the center of the room. Its pristine white porcelain contrasted beautifully with the marble tiles that lined the floor and walls. The tiles were a deep, rich shade of grey, flecked with veins of white, giving the room an elegant yet cozy feel. Above the bathtub hung a chandelier, its crystals catching the light and casting a soft, soothing glow around the room. To my right, a large window overlooked the garden, the sheer curtains fluttering slightly in the evening breeze.
