CHAPTER 81

  *Danika*

  When I reached my room, I slid under the covers, covering my face and numbing my mind from thinking about the lingerie and withered rose which I didn't see when I came in, possibly Alonso had discarded it.

  I was almost dosing off in sleep when I heard a slight knock at the door. My eyes flew open, my heart starting to pound in my ribs. What if it's the person that dropped the items that is knocking? I sat up from the bed, thinking if I should link Nadia or Alfred to come over, but on second thought, I decided to brave it when the door rattled again.

  I rapidly left the bed to the door to check. I unlocked it slowly and looked outside, exhaling in relief when I saw Alonso standing at the other side. He pushed through, going into the room.

  I locked the door back and went after him, surprised he would come to my room. He sat on the chair, observing me through hooded eyes.

  "Why are you standing there staring at me like that?" He queried, cocking his brow at me.
