Chapter 53 I Have To Confront Him

• REIKA'S POV
• 'In his room.' The words echoed in my mind like a secret only I was allowed to hold close. I tried to keep my expression neutral, but I could already feel the warmth rising in my cheeks. A rush of emotions surged through me: excitement, nervousness, anticipation. I hadn’t stepped foot in Apollo’s room since that night. Since everything between us shifted. After what Sophia told me, I doubted Apollo.
• The memory of his hands on my skin, the way he had whispered my name like it was a sacred vow, the heat of our bodies tangled together, I could still feel it. Even now, it lingered on my skin like a flame that refused to be extinguished. That room held more than just furniture and walls; it had pieces of me, of us.
