Chapter 9
As he moved to help me, I raised my hand to stop him. – Maurice, where is my room?
I tried to hide the pain in my voice.
I staggered back to my room, leaving blood behind, but Maurice promised to clean it up. I went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet and pulled out a piece of glass that had pierced my leg.
I tried to stifle the scream, but the pain was unbearable. When it was over, my eyes were red.
I groaned as I slowly walked to find the first aid kit,
Nothing was found. I tried to wash the blood off and dry it with a towel, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop, so I tied my legs with an extra towel and went to bed.
I wiped my tears and looked at my luxury hotel room.
My head started to hurt and I went to bed moaning.
I wanted to sleep for a while and forget about today. I woke up with a sudden pain in my left leg.
– Shut up, shut up.
I woke up to that voice. “Tristan?”
“Did you sleep well?”
I looked at him in amazement, he was sitting cross-legged on my bed
In his lap and a first aid kit next to him.
“The cut is deep.”
I stood up slowly and looked at him. He was still confused, as if he had tried to kill me only a few hours ago. “You made the bed dirty, there is no blood on the towel and there are still small glasses.”
“Why are you doing this?”
– I asked if he stopped when I tried to pull his leg.
“You’re my responsibility now.” I laughed humbly. “Moris will take you to the hospital tomorrow.”
“Thank you, but I will decline.”

– My parents cut me off… – I will decide.
I winced and gasped in pain.
“I’m sorry I broke your phone. I brought you a new phone.”
He pointed to the table. I have a new phone with an old SIM card in the corner.
I wanted to be able to look at him and read his mind and really understand the situation. He lifted his head as if sensing my eyes and I raised my eyebrows at him.
“When I saw you, you looked so naive, but I don’t think you judge a book by its cover.”
“Oh, now you know?” You thought I was easy prey?
– You were at the beginning.
He gently wrapped my leg in a bandage.
– Do you know there are many women?
The church wants to make your game stupid.
He smiled, but he couldn’t remember which smile was a lie. “You should have chosen your age. If I was 26, I would still be at home with my family if I hadn’t ignored them or added fake pregnancy news.”
He smiled again and I did my best not to hit him in the face with my injured leg.
“Why?”
– To make it seem more real. I was still confused. “What are you doing, Tristan?”
“I’ll tell you later Chloe, I need some time.”
‘I can run to the hospital and take a pregnancy test and sue.
chance”.
“If I need money, I’ll give it to you, but I really need money.”
– What are we going to work on? By the way, I don’t need your money.
He was speechless and couldn’t take his eyes off my feet.
“You ruined my life. At least tell me why I got involved in this nonsense.”
‘I do, I just need some time. I’m telling you everything, Chloe.
“How long have we been talking here?”
“A month” “Ah… what?” I gasped.
“I want to be away from my family for a month, but what if Gray finds another woman?”
– Then he never loved you.
