Ivanna My eyes widen at the screen. Cold shivers run across my body and I cut the call right away without assessing anything. My heartbeat rises again. I look at Christian. I can't do this. Responding to Adrian will indirectly lead me to something I don't wanna do. I value our marriage, no matter how messed up it is. I value Christian. Shoving my phone under the pillow, I buried myself in Christian's arms and closed my eyes tightly. He moves a bit and tightens his hold around me protectively. As I strive to inhale his scent which can make me fall asleep in no time, I feel the phone vibrating under the pillow. Damn it! I'll have to switch it off before Christian wakes up. He has been toiling all day and he deserves a good sleep. I squirm in his arms carefully and take the phone out.
