Chapter 14 The Forbidden Truth

As my legs grew weak, Thaddeus swiftly closed the distance between us, his strong arms encircling my trembling form. I found solace and security in his embrace, clinging to him as he effortlessly scooped me up and carried me towards the nearby couch. Gently, he laid me down, ensuring my comfort and safety in his arms. The touch of his firm yet tender grip sent a rush of mixed emotions coursing through me, leaving me both vulnerable and reassured. "Thaddeus..." I clutched my chest as this unbearable heat made me want to carve my skin to relieve myself. My skin had become so itchy that it was hard for me to feel the surroundings around me.
