Chapter 31

• Felicity’s POV
• Before going to the Begum's mansion, I told myself I would visit Elyana to talk to her like the old times, but I didn't expect to fall asleep after I lay in her bed. The tiresome and stressful morning got to me so quickly. It was already eight in the evening when I woke up, and Elyana was no longer in her room. I asked the first maid I saw downstairs, and she pointed me to the garden.
• The light was dim where she was sitting, but it was enough to notice what she was doing there at that hour. There was a bottle of whiskey and a bucket of ice on the table before her, and she was holding a glass while cross-sitting on the igloo-styled chair. I walked toward her but did not join her in her drinking session because I was allergic to all liquors. She was still wearing the same sleepwear when I arrived.
