Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 222

Hearing that, Rachel met Victor’s dark eyes that looked like a bottomless pond, Caught off guard, she saw the affection in his eyes and was stunned for a moment. “Stay with me forever, Rachel, and I will give you whatever you want.” “What if I don’t want to?” Rachel asked in a calm and casual voice.
