On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 18

A dark thought crossed his mind, and a cruel smirk touched his lips. “Isn’t that what you usually do while looking at my picture?”

Without another word, he turned and left.

The door slammed shut. Jessica gripped the bedsheets, desire and reason at war within her. Tears streamed down her face. She scrambled out of bed and staggered to the closet, her mind clouded. She pulled on a new set of clothes, threw a coat over her shoulders, and stumbled out of the room.

She didn't know what she had been given, but she knew that if she didn't find a man tonight, she would explode. She would die.

She didn't want to disturb Susan, so she slipped out a side door. If she remembered correctly, there was an exclusive club not far from the estate.

But just walking to the main gate exhausted her. Every step was an effort. She wondered how Lance, who had taken the same drug, could so easily suppress his own urges to rush to Catherine’s side. It must be true love.

Of course, once he made sure Catherine was okay, they would end up in bed together.

Jessica tilted her head back. The moon was hidden behind dark clouds, the sky a bleak, oppressive gray. It matched her life perfectly.

Two security guards approached, their flashlights shining directly in her eyes. She instinctively raised a hand to shield her face.
