It was not until then that Raegan remembered Nicole's plan to come over tonight.

Yet they there were, entwined on the tea table in the living room, with no chance to hide themselves.

Raegan froze on the spot. She silently heard the key turn in the lock.

Judging from the sound, it seemed to be the wrong key. Raegan relaxed a bit. But then, she heard another key turn in the lock.

But still, the door didn't open since it was the wrong key.

With her patience getting thinner, Nicole began knocking on the door.

"Raegan, it's me. Open up. I can't tell the keys apart..."

Her slurred speech suggested she was drunk. Otherwise, she would have remembered the whereabouts of the spare key.

Raegan tried to get up, but Mitchel's grip was unyielding. His dark eyes seemed to consume her.

“What's wrong she asked while looking into his eyes.

"One second."

His breathing became heavier and uneven, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Raegan's eyes widened in astonishment. She shook her head and struggled.

"Have you lost your mind?"

The outside world faded away, leaving only the frantic pounding of her heart.

Raegan felt like she was on a roller coaster, and her adrenaline peaking...

The moment felt like an eternity.

Outside the door, Nicole accidentally located the right key to the door as she fumbled around in her purse.

Beep! The door was thrown open.

When the door was pushed open, the lights instantly went off.
