CHAPTER 52

The night of the kidnap:

Long chapter ahead!

Madeline sat at the foot of the bed with her young mistress's legs on her body as he massaged them with castor oil on the floor while Susan read a familiar book, Scarred Hearts. The book reminded her of Edmund. The night they shared talking about the book.

Flashback:

He walked towards her bed and picked up a book. His brows arched when he saw the title, "Scarred Hearts?" 

"It's a tragic story,"

"I wouldn't have guessed. They look quite happy on the cover. Tell me about it, if you don't mind." He patted the bed, "You are welcome to join me. I don't bite."

She smiled, "It is my bed and I see no fangs."

"My bad," He grinned when she made herself comfortable on the bed. 

"Do you still want to hear about the story?"

"Yes, of course." He focused his attention on her face when she cleared her throat.
