Chapter 11 An Intimate Encounter

• Edeline’s confident steps suddenly froze on the front terrace of the luxurious hotel. A flicker of hesitation still lingered in her heart, even though she had been trying hard to brush it away with her firm resolve.

• But more than that, her soul was still haunted by the harrowing trauma of her past—one that made her fearful of being alone with Elvis. A part of her wanted to call upon Abraham for help in getting back her lost ID card. Yet, guilt kept tugging at her, whispering she should not trouble him again.
