CHAPTER 63 – Move Back to the Mansion
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The next morning, she woke up with a splitting headache.
She doesn’t remember most of what happened.
Good thing she went out with Aaron, at least she was sure he sent her home.
Everything was still blurry as she tried to open her eyes again.
She dashed to the toilet when she felt her stomach rumbling and vomited inside.
She hated that feeling.
It was very painful to feel the acid coming up to your throat after being wasted the night before.
She must have drunk a lot.
She usually stops after a glass. She will have another if Linda is around.
She looked at the mirror but she didn’t like what she saw.
Just when she allowed herself to feel, all the feelings came in at once.
She washed her face and brushed her teeth but tears kept on flowing.
No matter how many times she splashed water on her face, the tears kept on coming.
She closed her eyes and dry her face one last time.
