Determination

Sunbeams came in through the window of one of the bedrooms on the fourth floor of the castle.

By the sun's position, it was about 8:00 am, a comfortable time to wake up. But despite being awake for more than three hours, Scarlett still didn't want to get out of bed.

Her body was already healed. Lucien's demonic energy is getting more and more powerful and under his control, so healing injuries of that type just needs a good love session and some time.

Still, she didn't want to get out of bed because she was afraid. "Why didn't he come to see me yesterday? Was it all a game for him? Is he just manipulating me?"

Scarlett thought she had created a connection with Lucien and would be closer and closer to him. But when a day passed, and he didn't show up to see her, her confidence began to decrease.

Then she ran her hand over her belly and stroked the part where the purple tattoo is. "But I have the same mark as his wives... He may not be just playing with me."
