And Valerie stepped out next but immediately hissed at the heat. “Now this is why I hate visiting Madrid during this time of the year. It's so hot that I fear my skin will suffer heat burns. Let's quickly head inside.”Anatoly took his time in surveying the area and location where the hotel was built.

The shock on his face had vanished and now bloody anger surfaced. But Nadia wasn't scared anymore. She wasn't going to let him think that he could hurt her anymore. “I've had enough.
