The Daughter in the Shadows (by Una Norris) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Who’s Sleeping in Wyatt’s Bed?

Yunice narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile tugging at her lips. So there really is a lady of the house, huh?

Jordan hadn’t realized he’d just walked into a trap.

Finished

He said, “Take today for example–when you said you wanted to bury Paul in cash, didn’t Wyatt end up on the exact same page?”

That was true; going through all those steps did take time. Wyatt couldn’t have seen it coming–he really had just ended up on the same page as Yunice.

Still, it was just a coincidence. It didn’t prove anything.

Yunice moved into the room Jordan had arranged for her. After he left, the entire castle went quiet.

The room had everything she might need for daily life. After making sure there weren’t any cameras installed, Yunice took a shower and carefully cleaned up every strand of fallen hair.

She didn’t touch any of the skincare products or face masks in the cabinet. Since this place had a lady of the house, she figured she’d better have some self–awareness and try not to stir up any drama.

Her marriage to Wyatt was just for show; no need to make the real woman of the house uncomfortable.

She pulled a medicated oil from her bag and rubbed at the bruises the flying cash had left on her body. After that, she dabbed ointment onto the scar on her face.

Looking in the mirror, the scar had already faded quite a bit; a quick touch–up with powder would make it nearly invisible.

Once she was done, Yunice crawled into bed in her pajamas. As she tugged the blanket over herself, she found herself wondering why the whole room was done up in black, white, and gray.

Even the blanket was made of silvery–gray silk.

Probably bought as a set, she figured, not thinking much of it. Before falling asleep, Yunice gave Gill a quick call

Gill had already returned to Maplevale Estate. Just thinking about the revenge on Elsie earlier that day had her too giddy to sleep.

Yunice, on the other hand, wasn’t quite as cheerful

Elsie feared Wyatt–not her. Using that leverage worked, but Yunice knew she’d have to put in a lot more effort on her own.

What frustrated her the most was that she hadn’t used today’s incident to get the Yun family’s house. She’d let them catch a breath.

Elsie

clung to Paul like a lifeline, giving the Yun family a solid pillar of support

Still, there was no rush. If Owen was already desperate enough to consider selling the house, that only meant Yun General Hospital was running red lights all the way down the line.

She still had a shot.

Ms. Saunders, are you sleeping over at Mr. Cooper’s place tonight? Gill asked in a teasing tone.

Yunice responded dryly. “You really hope I’m getting laid that badly?”

Gill burst out laughing. “Come on, Mr. Cooper’s not bad–looking–you wouldn’t be losing out.”

Yunice said, “He’s already got someone. I’m not even allowed to touch him.”

Switching gears, she said. “By the way, Ms. Saunders, Taylor’s meds are almost out. Time to start round two.”

Today had drained her; lying in a comfortable bed made it even harder to stay awake.

Gill could hear the fatigue in her voice and hung up. Yunice fell asleep with her phone tucked under her pillow, sleeping like a baby.

In her dream, Yunice opened her eyes
