Chapter 180
I knew exactly what kind of people my family had.
If they found out I had married a man like Jonathan, they would have shown up at my door with great fanfare to wring me dry.
I had suspicions that Jonathan might’ve done something to threaten them. But then again, I doubted that he would go that far for me.
Just as my thoughts were drifting, it suddenly began to rain outside.
It started with a drop or two, only for the sound to grow louder as the rain picked up.
I got up and closed all the windows. When I reached the balcony, the street below was completely
empty. There was no one in sight.
I felt relieved. It seemed Jonathan had left like he did before.
I knew he didn’t want a direct confrontation with me for the time being. But when I stepped into the hallway to shut the door, I caught sight of a dark figure standing there.
“Who’s there?”
Startled, I subconsciously took a step back.
The shadow slowly lifted his head, fixing me with a cold stare.
I found myself staring into Jonathan’s weighty gaze and froze on instinct.
Those eyes were so terribly dark that they blended into the night.
He stood there with rain dripping from his hair. Every drop fell to the floor at his feet like drops of night.
He stared at me so intently that I recoiled. I turned around to shut the door, only for Jonathan to stride forward. He stopped it from closing with one hand.
“Let go!”
I nearly slammed the door on his hand, but he disregarded that completely. He simply stared
down at me with that intense gaze.
