Chap-56*Planning A Honeymoon*

Cynthia Dion:  "He marked me and left me stranded in this place. I resisted the urge to cry for a while before finally succumbing. The pain in my body after being marked was far worse than I had expected. I wiped tears from my face so frequently that they soaked into my sleeve. Clearly, he didn't give me anything, not even my phone. "Look at what you've done, Atticus!" I muttered, my words echoing the misery of my current situation. I wasn't sure why he despised me so much, but because of him, I had to endure all this pain alone. If Atticus hadn't abducted me and subjected me to humiliation, I'd be at home right now.
