For a moment, Caroline felt that she was done for good.
Gasping frantically for breath, she leaned on the wall, holding her neck, which had been generously bruised by Nubeous. Now she understood why Morpheous called him dangerous. He was the ruler of a realm. What was she even expecting?
"What is wrong with you?" She muttered and decided to leave. And luckily, this time, he didn't bother to stop her.
As she hailed a cab, she could not help but cry out in frustration because neither she could get the answers that she was looking for nor her self-respect.
Nubeous had crushed her.
Reaching back home, she avoided all questions Benjamin had about her date night and went straight to take a shower. As she removed her clothes in front of the mirror, she looked at the red mark on her neck.
She was expecting to wake up this morning with a love bite, but she got strangled instead. She couldn't help but feel amused at her own misfortune.
