Chapter 199: Blood Sample
[ At Smith Mansion... ]
As dawn’s first light crept through the wide windows of the mansion, Sasha lay on the couch, engulfed by the warmth of a body pressed against hers, her back facing the man. She slowly opened her eyes, her mind a haze of satisfaction and joy.
’I did it. I think Dominique’s condition has been cured. The drug took effect,’ Sasha thought to herself, silently rejoicing.
The vivid memories of the previous night replayed in her mind and the ache in her body was a testament to the intense passion they had shared. Every touch, every whisper echoed in her thoughts, affirming her belief that the plan had worked perfectly.
With a contented sigh, Sasha turned around, eager to gaze upon Dominique’s face. But to her shock, it wasn’t Dominique’s familiar features that greeted her.
Instead, she found herself staring at Ashton’s sleeping figure. His face, serene and peaceful, was unmistakable. Sasha was dumbfounded, her heart skipping a beat. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things, hoping she had mistaken the man beside her.
But as her vision cleared, the reality became undeniable. It was indeed Ashton lying next to her, not Dominique. Panic started to rise within her as she tried to piece together what had gone wrong.
’How could this happen? Where is Dominique?’ she wondered, her mind racing.
She hastily stood up, her fingers trembling as she picked up her clothes scattered on the floor.
’No! No! This can’t be happening!’ She wanted to scream, a mix of confusion and fear gripping her. ’How about Dominique? And Athena? Where are they?’ Her eyes scanned the living room but there was no sign of them.
She was about to leave and search for them when Ashton suddenly grabbed her elbow, thus stopping her.
"Sasha," he called her out, his voice a mixture of guilt and worry.
