Her expressions turned sour, 'He seems so experienced with women that nothing can miss him. That pervert, he really played me for a fool for months.'
The sound of approaching footsteps interrupted her thoughts, signaling Arlan's return. Oriana swiftly reclined on the bed, turning her back to the door and shutting her eyes tight.
