Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 496

Zack Cassidy woke up instantaneously. He turned on the light and stole a glance at the clock.

It was already ten o’clock at night.

This bastard…

“Yes, Fifth Master!” Zack nodded respectfully before jumping down from the bed with a heart full of resentment.

On the other hand, Stanley Batton had gone to some of the bars and hotels that Xyla Quest often went to after he drove away from his villa.

As he drove, he could not help but started laughing at himself. Never in his life had he been so crazy for anyone, or anything, not even once since he was a child. He felt very much like a blind, headless fly right now, roaming through the streets, not knowing where to go.

The person he was at that very moment was akin to an immature boy who fell in love for the first time, doing all he could do for his first love.

When Stanley was drowning in his deep thoughts, it started to drizzle.

Under the drizzle, the black Honda continued to roam between the streets, traveling through the city.

Meanwhile at Georgie Clementine’s house, Xyla was still tossing and turning restlessly on her bed, unable to fall asleep.

The pitter-patter of rain outside of the house flowed from the window into her ears, causing her to feel even more annoyed.

Hence, she buried her entire body under the thick blanket in order to make herself feel a little more comfortable.

Try as she might, it ended up being a sleepless night.

The possibilities that Georgie had proposed earlier kept flashing across her mind.

Various kinds of thoughts tore her apart. Breathing became difficult and she felt like she was constantly out of breath.

Hours later, the air outside was getting cold.

The streets were starting to fill with heavy traffic and the city was busy once more.

Ding Dong… Ding Dong… The doorbell rang.

The sudden noise pierced through the darkness and penetrated her eardrums.
