When Love Turns Dangerous (Tara) novel Chapter 110

In Stugard, Tara wore a mask and rented an apartment online overnight. She planned to rest for a day or two before job hunting.

The next morning, she took a cab to a modest one-bedroom in central Stugard. She took a quick look at the place. It was small but clean, affordable, and decent.

She signed the lease, cleaned the place thoroughly, and went downstairs for a meal after a hot shower.

She tried to forget everything that had happened. It had been ages since her life had been so normal.

That night, she turned off the lights, deciding to start job searching the day after tomorrow.

Even though she had left all the villa group chats, she still switched her phone to airplane mode, fearing calls from Lance or Soren.

However, one message came in from an unknown number. It contained only two words: "Little liar."

Tara checked the number against her call history. Not Lance. It had to be Soren. After all, those were the only two men she had ever strung along.

She blocked it immediately, just in case Soren tried to call her and demand answers.

Now that she was finally out of the story's plot, she wanted nothing more to do with the male leads.

Despite her restless thoughts, she soon drifted off to sleep.

In her dream, warm water washed over her body. She turned to kiss the man behind her.

Her eyes fluttered open to a familiar bathroom, and a flood of memories instantly brought her fully awake. The dream bathroom was a carbon copy of her current one; even the ceiling matched perfectly.

Shaken, she turned on the light and walked in to check. Everything matched.

She couldn't believe it. The dream was too vivid. Still, she chalked it up to coincidence, yawned, and went back to bed.

But with dreams that were this vivid, she made a mental note to finally start taking natural sleep aids.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains. Tara stretched with a yawn, getting out of bed, having finally enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep.

She changed into loose, comfy clothes and went grocery shopping. She bought breakfast and ingredients for a few simple meals, enjoying the mundane rhythm of life.

That afternoon, she scrolled through a recruitment app and sent her résumé to a job that looked promising.

Checking her phone again, she saw no new texts from the unknown number. She felt a sense of relief, taking it as a sign that neither Soren nor Lance intended to pursue a serious relationship with her.

Tara smiled politely and handed over her résumé. "Here's my résumé."

The female manager scanned it and asked a few sharp, well-prepared questions.

Tara answered each question clearly and confidently. The woman seemed impressed.

The male manager asked only two simple questions. Every time Tara looked into his eyes, his ears grew redder.

Tara, ever slow with romance, remained oblivious that he'd fallen for her at first sight.

"Congratulations, you passed the interview," the female manager said, rising to shake her hand.

Tara stood, smiling. She shook hands with both of them. The male manager blushed to the tips of his ears.

"Thank you both," she said warmly.

She walked home feeling relaxed. As she reached the entrance of her apartment complex, a Cullinan slowly drove past her and into the gates.
