Chapter 34

• Maverick's POV:
• As I sat in my office, my mind couldn't help but drift back to Nora and the events of the previous night. I had been so caught up in my own desires, so blinded by my need for her, that I had failed to see the pain and fear in her eyes. And now, the guilt and regret were tearing me apart.
• It had been days since we spoke and during those times, I had tried to make amends, sending my maids to deliver to her an endless stream of gifts- flowers, chocolates, dresses, but Nora had rejected them all.
