TimeNovelChapter 1289:
Eric's jaw dropped.
The whole night?
That couldn't be right.
Last night, he was certain he had been with Hadley.
Where was Hadley now?
He squeezed his eyes shut, piecing together fragments of the evening.
After parting ways with Adonis, he had sought out Hadley.
He vividly recalled Hadley leading him back to his room.
He'd had too much to drink, his restraint crumbling as he acted on his impulses with her... Or so he thought.
Now, doubts crept in.
He had wanted Hadley for so long that losing control under the influence of alcohol somehow made sense. But
would Hadley have just gone along with it?
No, that didn’t add up.

recall pressing his lips to Hadley’s, only for her to shove him back and hurriedly flee the room. What followed
remained a mystery, lost in a drunken fog.
Damn.
His head pounded, a mix of fog and dizziness clouding his thoughts. The heated moments that followed were
vivid, but everything else was a blur.

Could it really be that the person who was with him all night was... Ayla?
“How did you get in here?”
Ayla’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice faltering. “I don’t know. | was passing by, and your door was ajar. | got

up, but then you... you grabbed me, and wouldn't let go. You kissed me, started pulling at my clothes...”

“Stop! Enough!”
Eric's face paled, his voice cutting through hers like a blade.
Ayla’s shoulders quaked, but she pressed on, desperation fueling her words. “Mr. Scott, I'm yours now! You can’t
just castaside!” The air grew heavy, silence suffocating the room.
Eric's striking features were devoid of warmth, though his eyes burned with barely restrained anger.
His hands balled into fists inside his pockets. After a tense pause, he met Ayla’s gaze, his tone icy. “Last night
was a mistake. A fleeting lapse. It means nothing to me.”
What?
Ayla froze, stunned by his words.
“Ha.” A bitter laugh escaped her, her

“I'll compensate you,” Eric said, shaking his head, his patience visibly fraying.
“Nyour price. Lay it all out now—I don’t want complications later.”
