When Love Turns Dangerous novel Chapter 146

Tara held an umbrella as she walked to the security booth outside the villa. She sought temporary shelter from the rain. Her clothes were soaked through, and a sudden gust of wind made her shiver uncontrollably.

She quickly pulled out her phone to search for nearby hotels. Since the original host had been fired, she had received triple pay as compensation. There wasn't much money left from her, but thankfully, the compensation was enough to get Tara by for now.

She booked a room and immediately called a ride.

Tara was drenched to the skin, and the wind and rain were growing fiercer by the minute. She knew she couldn't afford to linger. Catching a cold would only make things worse.

The ride arrived promptly. Tara climbed in, feeling awkward in her soaked clothes.

She offered the driver 50 dollars to help cover the cost of cleaning the car. But the driver, sensing she was going through a rough time, waved it off with a shrug.

"No worries," he said. "I'll grab a towel from the trunk and wipe it down later."

Tara thanked him sincerely, though she still felt it was only right to compensate him. Soaking someone's back seat wasn't nothing, and she knew how hard it was for people just trying to make a living.

When the car pulled up to the hotel, Tara got out and grabbed her suitcase.

Unfortunately, the Uber app's tipping function was capped at 25 dollars. By the time she completed the payment, the car had already driven off, so that was all she could leave.

Dragging her suitcase behind her, Tara stepped into the hotel lobby. Noticing she was drenched, the receptionist quickly handed her the room key.

Once inside her room, Tara locked the door and opened her suitcase to pull out some dry clothes. She then hurried to the bathroom to change and take a hot shower.

Later, as she lay on the hotel bed, she felt completely drained. Between the aftereffects of transmigrating and the downpour, exhaustion and drowsiness took over.

Tara quickly fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until noon the next day. The first thing she did was touch her forehead and found it to be at a normal temperature. Relieved, she let out a deep breath.

Thankfully, she hadn't fallen ill. After a good night's rest, the heaviness in her head from the previous evening had cleared up considerably.

While rubbing her temples, she pieced things together. After the system failed to expel her soul, it must have tossed her into the timeline where the original host had just been kicked out.

Thinking back to the moments before her transmigration, Tara sighed. Lance and Shawn had regained their memories. Given their personalities, there was no way they would let her go willingly.

She couldn't imagine what they might do next.

Even if Jonah still loved her deeply, he would likely be overwhelmed by the chaos that would follow. She felt a pang of reluctance to let him go, but just the thought of them fighting made her headache worsen. Maybe this was the best outcome for everyone.

The situation wasn't looking good. News of the original host's attempts to seduce the four male leads had spread far and wide, completely destroying her reputation.

Forget about a corporate job; even if she applied to a coffee shop, no one would hire her out of concern for their brand image.

With only the compensation sitting in her bank account, Tara knew she had to find a job quickly. If she didn't, her savings would run out in no time.
