Semua Bab The Double Life of My Hot Secretary: Bab 191 - Bab 200

I tried to climb out again and made it halfway before my foot slipped against the wet ground.My hands scraped down the side of the ditch as I fell back, landing hard on my hip. Pain shot through my ankle so sharply that I had to bite down on my sleeve to stop myself from screaming.“Oh my God.”I leaned back against the dirt wall and pulled my injured leg closer, staring at my ankle through the rain. It had swollen so much that the top of my trainer was starting to press against my skin.I reached for the loose branch beside me and pushed myself up again.The second my foot touched the ground, my leg gave out.“No, no, no.”I dropped the branch and pressed both hands over my face. My fingers were shaking so badly that I could barely feel them anymore.Rain fell through the trees and soaked straight through my clothes. My hair stuck to my cheeks, water running down the back of my neck as I wrapped my arms around myself.“Help!”My voice came out rough.I tilted my head back and shoute

He pulled away from me after a while. I sat on the bed watching Adam stand there like he was still deciding what to do with me. My wet clothes were stuck to my skin and the ice pack on my ankle was leaking cold water down my leg but I didn’t move it. He ran his hand through his hair again and his jaw stayed tight the whole time. I raked my fingers through my own tangled hair and pushed it off my face.He walked over slowly. When he got to the bed he crouched down in front of me and lifted the ice pack off my ankle. His fingers brushed the swollen skin and I sucked in a breath but it wasn’t from pain this time.He pressed around it once then looked up at me.“You could’ve died out there,” he said. His voice was low and flat. “I had the whole team running through the rain because you decided to wander off with a map you couldn’t even read right.”I twisted the blanket in my hands. “I already said I was sorry.”He stood up and stepped between my knees. His hands landed on my thighs,

Hazel povI sat on the edge of the balcony chair with my legs pulled up, staring at the dark water below the villa. The night air was warm and still. My wine glass sat untouched on the small table beside me. I kept turning the stem between my fingers without lifting it. The glass caught the faint light spilling out from the villa behind me, sending pale reflections across my hand before disappearing again. Somewhere in the distance, gentle waves lapped against the wooden stilts beneath the villa.I rested my chin against my knees and let my eyes follow the slow ripples stretching across the water. The breeze barely touched my skin, only enough to stir a few loose strands of hair across my cheek. I tucked them behind my ear without thinking, then returned my hand to the glass, rolling it back and forth again as if the small movement alone could quiet everything racing through my head.Alan stepped out through the open doors. I heard the soft scrape of his bare feet on the stone. He

Even povThe medic questioned me while I sat on the edge of the hotel bed with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders. I answered every one of them, but my voice sounded far away. My fingers stayed pressed against my throat. Every swallow burned.“Any dizziness?”“A little.”“Any trouble breathing now?”“No.”The medic leaned closer and checked my pupils. I flinched before I could stop myself.I wasn’t fine. I couldn’t stop looking at the empty doorway.Adam had run.The ambulance arrived ten minutesafter he'd left and by then, I had already shoved my suitcase shut with shaking hands.I left the trip that morning.Evelyn opened her door in an oversized shirt and socks, her hair piled messily on top of her head. The second she saw me, her mouth dropped open.“What happened to your neck?”I pulled my scarf higher, “can I come in?”She stepped aside immediately. “Eve, what happened?”“Nothing. I just need to stay here for a few days.”Her eyebrows pulled together. “Nothing does not leave

I didn't have time to think about what he had just said when a man in a black shirt appeared outside the room less than a minute after Adam left. He barely looked at me before holding the door open.“Come on. I’m taking you out.”I stared past him, half expecting Adam to return. “Did he send you?”The man nodded. “He said to make sure you leave safely.”Of course he did. He could end everything with one sentence, then send somebody else to clean up the mess.I followed the man through the hallway with my arms folded tight across my chest. The crowd still screamed around the ring. Every shout made my shoulders jerk. I kept my eyes on the floor until we reached the stairs.Outside, the cold air hit my face. The man waited until I stepped beneath a streetlight, then held out his phone.“Do you need a car?”“No.”“You sure?”“I said no!” I snapped, fueled by all the anger I suddenly felt. I wanted to snap at Adam, anything at all but I felt powerless. I could feel all the rage building u
