Chapter 35

Beatrice picked at her clean fingertips, which was now pale. With her head lowered, she stared at the string of digits on her phone screen until it went blank, but her calls were not answered.

As her anxiety persisted, she bit her bottom lip until the shape of her beautiful lips changed while her cold pale face appeared frail.

For the first time in her life, she was panicking as she felt things were going out of control.

Beatrice's heart calmed a little when she heard his familiar tone and the unease she harbored was gone.

"I get nervous when I can't reach you. Joaquin, let's…"
