Chapter 21

The car ride back to the estate was deadly quiet.

It was so quiet that Anissa could hear her hammering heart in her ears. From the corner of her eye, she saw Shehryaar and jumped a little when she saw him intensely staring at her.

Her cheeks flared brightly. She felt immensely hot and sheen of hot sweat covered her forehead.

How will I be able to keep my word? I'm still frightened to my bones. Even if I make up my mind, my body will retaliate. PTSD isn't easy to control or treat and he expects me to fulfil my word. Oh Lord help me. She closed her eyes and prayed.

She needed even more courage for what was to come then willing herself to kill.

She knew that Shehryaar was an experienced man. From where he came from, she could easily tell that women threw themselves at him. He was after all a devilishly handsome man.
