This Marriage Must End in Tragedy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 54

Why is this happening? Ansi tried to rouse Damion. Naturally, her hand passed right through him. It was the same sensation she’d experienced before, yet it still felt unfamiliar and chilling.

“Damion, wake up!”

Ansi bent her head to examine his face. At that moment, her eyes wavered.

In the eyes of the man clad in a mud-streaked formal suit, unmistakable fear had taken root.
