Selina rushed back to her room, heading straight for the bathroom to scrub herself clean. While she could wash away the physical traces, the shame in her heart remained.

Selina slept in the bed she once shared with David and had a very long dream.In the dream, she explained to David at the beginning that she hadn't drugged him, and this time, he believed her. Though their marriage was forced by Rachel, while David wasn't particularly warm, he gave her the respect s
