Renee gasped and stumbled back. �When� When did you arrive?�

Justin wore a black sports outfit and had a headband wrapped around his head. He was sweating and breathing rapidly, and he looked very handsome. �I just got here. Are you here for a night jog too?�

�Just� jogging?� She questioned carefully.

�Yeah� What else would I be doing?� He frowned and stared at the place where the hole was earlier and asked curiously, �What are you doing sneaking around this area?�

�Nothing!�

Renee thought for a while before she replied, �Your house is very beautiful, so I decided to take a stroll and look around. But during my stroll, I had to pee, so�� To avoid Justin�s suspicion, she had to sacrifice her image.

�Oh, I see�� Justin smirked and said, �I should�ve come earlier then.�

"You pervert!� Renee felt guilty for lying to him, so she tried to push the blame to him. �If you keep this up, I�ll go home tomorrow and stop this whole act.�

�I�m sorry, my bad. I won�t joke around anymore. Why are you dressed like a servant though? And your makeup looks weird too�� Justin gave her an odd look.

�What do you mean by that? This is how I look with a bare face. Do you find me ugly? And I got this shirt from the closet, it looks nice so I wore it. Are you trying to say that I look like a servant?�

�No. I�� Justin was lost for words.

"There�s no need to explain. I�m tired, so I want to rest now!� Renee exclaimed, and left immediately.

Justin watched as she gradually disappeared from view, and a smirk crept on his face.

�She actually guilt-tripped me even though she�s the guilty one!� He mused, clicking his tongue in disapproval.

After Renee returned to her room, she changed her clothes, took off her makeup, and decided to go to bed.

The bed was so comfortable � it felt like she was sleeping on cotton because it was so soft. Soon.enough, she drifted off to sleep.

She slept so deeply that she had a dream� or more accurately, she considered it a nightmare because Stefan was in it. Stefan had held a whip, tied her to a chair, and threatened her, �Brave, aren�t we? So brave that you dare to betray me and marry another man! Come back now, or else I will punish you!�

The whip hit the floor with a loud crack. Then, he took a hot iron rod and was about to hit her with it�

�Ah! No, I�ll come home immediately!� Renee screamed, waving her arms and kicking her legs.

�What happened? Are you having a nightmare?� A gentle hand stroked Renee�s back and a soothing voice comforted her, �Don�t be scared, you�re alright.� JrNovels.com
