Chapter 40 Determination To Destroy Cecilia

• Cecilia’s days were shrouded in anxiety. Ever since she’d slept with Charles fully conscious, a gnawing worry had taken hold. It stemmed from the fact that Charles was Evan’s uncle. If he weren’t blood-related to Evan, she wouldn’t be this terrified.
• She tried to keep her distance from Charles, but deep down, she knew she couldn’t resist. The man kept bulldozing into her life, ensnaring her time and again. She was trapped, unable to escape. She was trapped in something she couldn’t walk away from. The more she dodged, the more it burned her.
• Charles was relentlessly dominant in his pursuit, but she had no clue what was really going on in his head. Their connection was forbidden, plain and simple—yet why did she seem to enjoy it? This was insane.
