Chapter 13

As Sasha swaggered away, she sent a message to Amy. "It's a success!"

She left Jessamine locked outside on the balcony. Jessamine felt her pockets—she didn't have her phone with her. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Thomas must have been asleep at this hour. He had a mild condition of insomnia and found it hard to go back to sleep after being woken up, so she didn't dare to yell for help. It would wake Thomas up.

Jessamine sat down with her back against the door. She wrapped her arms around her legs. She couldn't help wondering what Thaddeus and Amy were doing.

Then, she laughed at herself for being foolish. They were a couple that had just reunited after being separated for a long time. What else could they be doing?

As the night breeze grew stronger, Jessamine couldn't help surrendering to her fatigue. After everything that had happened last night—from the almost-rape to ending up in bed with Thaddeus—she was exhausted. She drifted off to sleep while leaning against the door.
