Chapter 222
Stephanie's POV
My head collapsed onto the soft mattress, but peace was nowhere to be found. A hysterical, unnatural fever surged through my body a quiet, sudden explosion of fire ripping through my veins and deep into my gut, leaving my skin dripping with sweat and burning hot.
I gasped for air, clutching the sheets as I fought a losing battle against the thick fog completely clouding my brain. Through the sudden madness, a terrifying truth pierced through the haze: something was horribly wrong with my body... something triggered by that juice.
I forced my heavy eyes up toward him, my voice coming out in shallow, barely audible rasps. "You... you put an aphrodisiac in my drink... didn't you?"
His smile widened into a cold, arrogant smirk. Crossing his arms over his broad chest, he took a slow step closer and replied in a low, wicked tone, "Yes... I did."
