Chapter 327

• The next morning, Tedmond was awakened by the soft sound of footsteps entering his room. His eyes snapped open instinctively, his body tensing for a moment, until he saw it was just Persis and a maid.

• Persis sat calmly at the edge of his bed, his phone in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed as she scrolled through the long list of voicemails that had piled up.
