Chapter Twenty-Eight

#Chapter Twenty-Eight

Lachlan refused to have sex with her again.

She would summon him alone to her room, only for him to leave some flowers and head straight out right after, even though she was dressed in sexy lingerie. She followed him everywhere, and he only ignored her. He fixed some cars at the estate, and she tried to kiss him, but he dodged it and pretended she was air.

Serene gritted her teeth. She picked up the box and slid it open. Reaching in with one finger, she removed the stick. She put it into her mouth and got to work. Picking up a heavy can, she splashed the liquid everywhere in the shed, making sure to get every crevice, every surface. The smell permeated the air, and her nose stung. When the shed was sufficiently covered, she removed the stick in her mouth. Then, she flicked it across the side of the box. The tip fizzed and the light shone on top. She held it before her face, smiling at it.

Then she threw the matchstick into the gasoline puddles.
