Chapter 6 By the time Nora was released from the sack the next morning , she had already passed out cold . When the butler went to report , Chase was carefully dabbing ointment onto the tiny puncture on Camila's arm . " She passed out ? " Chase's expression hardened instantly .

Nora lay crumpled on the ground , her skin covered in dozens of tiny , blood - specked bite marks . Chase was stunned , about to speak - when Camila gasped behind him . "Ow ... the spot where I got pricked still stings like hell ... " Distracted , Chase turned back to examine her arm again . " Are you feeling any better , Camila ? " She nodded , tears brimming in her eyes . " I'm sure Nora didn't mean to hurt me ... maybe she just felt upset seeing you treat me so well . It's okay . I won't hold it against her . " Chase's expression grew colder . The flicker of sympathy he'd briefly felt for Nora vanished . " She made the first move . So what if she passed out ? Splash her with cold water - once if she doesn't wake up , twice if needed . If it takes ten buckets , then she's faking it ! " The butler nodded and began dumping water on her . One bucket ... Two buckets ... Three buckets ... It wasn't until the seventh bucket that Nora finally stirred . She opened her eyes , dazed , her head pounding . Chase let out a cold laugh . " What ? Done pretending ? You almost had me fooled , you know . " Chapter 6 20.78 % ... Exness Global ex 4.5 FREE Keep more of what you make with even better pricing . Discover Exness .

" The thug screamed through clenched teeth . " A woman - Nora Langston ! She hired me herself ! " " What ?! " Camila's eyes widened in shock . " No way ! Nora would never - she may not like me , but she's not that cruel ... " The thug spat viciously . " She said you stole her husband , right ? She told me to ruin you - said once I did , her man wouldn't want you anymore ! " Chase's expression turned ice - cold . Without another word , he picked Camila up and stormed off , fury radiating from every step . Behind his back , Camila threw the thug a quick , knowing glance .
