Chapter 52 So Intimate

• It was a silvery early morning, and Leah was working on new designs in her room. But her eyes kept flickering to the outside through her balcony glass door every now and then, searching for the man who was the reason for her restless heart.
• She sighed, returning her focus to her work. It was still a few more minutes until dawn, and he might still be asleep. But Leah hadn’t slept the whole night. She was terrified that Stefano was still angry with her and that he wouldn’t come back. That he would leave her—just like everyone else she had ever cared for. They had all left her, finding her useless.
• But what was she supposed to do when he suddenly wanted to be intimate in the… car? She had panicked. She wasn’t like Ivy or her other friends—so open and extroverted. Staying inside the mansion her whole life, completely cut off from the outside world, had stripped her of confidence when it came to being in public. And Mr. Bodyguard was so commanding, so passionate… If she was honest with herself, it scared her.
