Liam pressed his lips together and stared at her coldly. “Freya, if we hadn’t once loved each other so much, I might almost suspect you prefer women.”
Freya replied coolly, “Think whatever you want.”
“Is Lily that important to you? Between a friend and your husband, would you choose her without hesitation?” Liam said coldly.
Freya almost wanted to laugh. “Professor Cooper and Lily are a man and a woman. In your mouth, I sound like some kind of pervert who sleeps with anyone.”
Liam explained, “I want to be the only thing in your eyes. I want to be first in your heart forever.”

“What did you drug her with?” Freya asked.
“Ether,” Liam replied. “Not a large dose. She should wake up in about an hour. It will not harm her body.”
Liam gently brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear and said softly, “Freya, tell me how you managed to leave the hotel without anyone noticing despite all the surveillance.”
Freya replied, “Do you think I can turn invisible?”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Jason, Liam’s assistant, rushed in. “Mr. Grant, I had people take apart every vent and pipe in the hotel. None of them show any sign.”
Liam mused. “It wasn’t the stairwell and it wasn’t the vents. Are you sure the hotel surveillance has no blind spots?”
