Chapter 48: Chapter 48

　　What had she done?

　　Eve lay awake all night thinking of Roman's lips on hers. Her body had come alive as if she had been dead all this time.

　　But after what he had done to her? After all the tears she had shed? Why did he still have that effect on her? She had destroyed her life just to get away from him, and now just one kiss had shown her that all the work she had done on herself was worth nothing. All her pep talks were bullshit.

　　By the time the morning came and she dragged herself out of bed to prepare for her morning shift, she was still kicking herself. But at least this was the end of it. He'd given his word that she wouldn't have to see him again. Once the paperwork came from the lawyers, she could finally stop looking over her shoulder and live her life.

　　But she would still have that money in her account. The proof that she had sold herself. The proof that she had received money to let a man do whatever he wanted to her body.
