Chapter 136
Julie's Point of View
Carlos's confession was a whirlpool that wouldn't subside in my head; "Attraction"? A heavy word that left me struggling in my confusion for hours. And when he promised me a way out, I felt the pulse of joy drumming against the walls of my chest... finally, I would breathe air that didn't reek of this club. But behind that joy, a fear was gnawing at me: does freedom have a price?
Does he expect me to reciprocate that attraction? And am I even attracted to him? I wished there was someone I could pour my heart out to.
I remembered Axel; I had to set out his food, but I froze when I realized he was in Robert's room.
My face ignited with shame and my limbs trembled whenever last night leaped before my eyes. How did I lose control like that? And the worst part is that I feel a sting of pain and anger in my heart because he refused to touch me!
