Chapter 13*Antonia's POV*It was 1 am when I checked the time on my phone, I don't really know why I was suddenly awake but I was. I wasn't feeling sleepy anymore. I looked at Christian who was sleeping peaceful on the bed, he looked tired after 8 hours of work, he should be.Then, my mind flashed back to our conversation when he came back work.
