NovelEnglishThe young woman did not understand their problems. As a matter of fact, she would rather not know.
This man was like a poppy – captivating, sedate, but deadly.
With that, she chose not to speak.
“I’ll stay here with you until the three days are up.” When he called out, she stopped at the door and
looked over her shoulders towards him.
“You need to prepare for your wedding, so don’t let me hold you up,” she said.
“I don’t need to hear your unsolicited opinion,” the man replied.
Skylar was afraid of how she would cope without his tyranny when he finally decided to boot her aside.
Hence, she chose restraint.

Nearly everyone knew what happened by the time she went back to the hotel.
It was hard not to, considering the manner by which Harry and herself were taken into custody last
night.
The news got more exaggerated the more they spread. It was even said they were buck naked when
they were taken away.
Even Avery from the class next door got wind of it.
Meanwhile, Harry was pretty shaken up and looked like a shell of his former self overnight.
When Skylar found him, it was just him on a rock, staring quietly out at the ocean.
She came up from the side and extended the newly purchased bottle of water towards him.
“Hey, I’m really sorry about yesterday.”
Her eyes lighted up when he received the peace offering from her.
In the next second, she heard it splash upon the crashing waves.
“I knew I shouldn’t have agreed to share a room with you. Do you think a bottle of water is going to
make up for it?”
“I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. I’ll go explain to everyone.”
“Who do you think is going to believe anything that comes out of your mouth, huh?”
“There’s nothing else I can do if you don’t trust me. I can only say that I’m sorry.”
“Besides, why are you messing around with all those different guys? You’re still so young. Would it kill
you to go without money?”
That lodged a lump in her throat, but nonetheless, she eked out a smile. “You may be right, but who
wouldn’t want to go on living?”
Then, Skylar turned to head back to their hotel room. It was time to pack up and leave. Harry was in
enough trouble as it was.
She doubted anyone would notice her absence at the bonfire party later.

manager at Ford Group.
“You know, guys, my dad pulled a few strings to get me a room at King Hotel because he was worried
that I might not be used to the rooms here.”
The others cast looks of envy her way. The King Hotel, which was a stone’s throw away, was an
absolute dream compared to the three-star dump they were in.
Lydia placed a hand on Shailene’s shoulder. “Do you think your dad could get me in there too?”
“You know I’d always look out for my girls. You can move in with me after the bonfire party. I heard that
they have a spa, enzyme bath and stuff.”
Lydia was not at all pleased about Shailene taking the spotlight off of herself but was willing to overlook
that in exchange for better accommodations.
Her expectations were for all the selfies and TikTok videos she planned to shoot and tag at King Hotel
to trend.
After all, the exclusivity of the place would take the luster off even the socialites and their Bulgaris.
