Chapter 1413:
And they ended up being intimate.
It had been the scented candles. The drugged fragrance.
According to the woman, Ayla had waited outside the room the entire night, planning to make her move the
moment Eric returned. Which meant—Ayla must have seen Hadley and Eric go into his room together.
Her plan fell apart.
She waited all night, and when Hadley finally left, Ayla slipped in—probably to clean up the mess... or erase any

They got into the car, which eased into motion.

Hadley turned to him suddenly. Her brows pinched, and her eyes held something unreadable.
