CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Audrey twists the doorknob sideways, and it clicks open, she looks left and right, making sure that no one was coming towards the hallway before creeping inside hoping not to make a sound, and when she was finally in, she could not help but be amazed at the large master bedroom. She had been to his room on several occasions when she was still legally chained to Carter, but everything seemed different from her, it was large, with new designs of furniture and a king-size bed. The fragrance in the room was blossom, a mixture of rose and incense. Audrey began to rumble through the things there, first, it was the drawer by his bedside, his wardrobe, and then the upper top where most documents were kept. But to no avail, she could not find anything that would help her, she heaved a long sigh and decided to leave, but just then, she tripped and fell, hitting her leg on the side stool beside the bed. “ Ouh!!! ” she winced in pain while clutching onto her hurt leg, trying to get back on
