With her gentle demeanor and sweet words, she coaxed him into bed, and under the influence of alcohol, Ethan gave in. They spent the night together, and the next morning, Delia walked in, catching them in the act.
Heartbroken, Delia fled in tears, and this incident created an insurmountable chasm between her and Ethan.
Recalling Delia’s original actions, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. “Seriously, what kind of delusional, lovesick logic is that? Here she was, a rich, beautiful, and intelligent heiress – why obsess over some womanizing CEO? Is she out of her mind?”
Without a second thought, I lifted the cup of tea and downed it myself, quickly turning to leave.
But as I reached the second floor, I felt something was off.
My face grew hot, and my entire body felt like it was burning. It was as if a fiery blaze was igniting from within.
I froze, staring down at the empty cup in my hand, suddenly realizing what had happened.
Damn it.
Turns out, Elizabeth really was as devious as they came. She’d laced the hangover tea with some potent drugs!
Why hadn’t the book mentioned this crucial detail?
