CHAPTER 36 Ariel’s POV I could barely sleep last night. My mind kept swarming with thoughts of those messages. I couldn't help but feel watched throughout the night, and it didn't help that I was alone. In another world, a more friendly one where I would still be married. I would be in my husband's room and in his hands. But in this world? I'm forced to face my hard nights alone. I couldn't boast of 3 hours of sleep last night; that was how bad it was. I managed to get out of bed and into the shower, preparing myself for another uneventful day. I stepped out to have a little stroll and spotted Luciana coming from the other end. I should have run, but I couldn't bring myself to turn as it was already too late. I took a deep breath and put up the most confident look I could muster.
