Chapter 22 Will You Let Me Leave?

“Though, there’s no need for you to waste your energy. No matter who you seduce, they won’t have the ability to let you leave anyway.” Christian grabbed her chin, forcing Victoria to raise her head.

She looked down as she refused to meet his gaze. “What about you? Will you let me leave?”

“This is what you owe to Bella.” When his gaze fell upon her split lip, he looked deep in thought for a moment as he lifted his fingertip toward her lip. Just when he was about to touch her lips, he knitted his brows slightly before moving his finger back to its original position.
