I have a long way to go and many things to do without a specific plan. Deep within me, I know I'm taking a very high risk, but it's the same as remaining in this house as Antonio would come for me sooner or later.I hear Ronan whisper something gibberish, but I can tell he's asleep. I try moving under the duvet, but his word echoes in my heart, and I let go of it as I stare into a blank space of vast darkness, waiting for the sun to rise.The ruffling of the duvet wakes me as I turn around, immediately becoming alert."Morning?" Danica says to me. She seems to be clearing off some things in Ronan's room."Where is he?" I ask her with my eyes darting to and fro the room scared that he might still be loitering around."Who? Your master?" She asks as if she knows of someone else who he is in the building,"Yes, I'm talking about him.""He's down having breakfast, but he did make mention of going out soon for any reason?" Danica asks me while eyeing me suspiciously."No, not much just tha
The car's speed increases, and after several minutes I see a massive mall in sight. I turn my head to get a Clearer view of the mall, and thank goodness it's one I use most times.I once frequented this store, so I know everything about it, the insides, the outsides, and en route.As we draw nearer to the mall, I can feel my heart thud against my chest harder. Finally, the car pulls over by the parking lot and stops."I'll be back real quick," I say to the guard, who doesn't seem to have the ability to smile as she had kept a Stern face all through the drive, but what can I say, Ronan must have trained them always to be cold and stern."I'm coming with you," she says with a voice icy cold and Rick rigid, marking a tone of finality."Oh, yes, I just didn't want to stress you," I explained, but she didn't respond.I roll my eyes as I scan her thoroughly, finding it funny that she talks with just the same icy demeanor as her master, Ronan must have done some harsh things to have made a f
"The other tracker I connected is on the way to the airport," a tech man announces."What airport?" I ask, unsure how long she has been mapping out her ridiculous plan."The one near here, sir," he explains to me again.I nod in response and tap him lightly on his shoulders, happy that I have done some digging today.I walked hastily out of the research room and down towards my car, swearing inwardly to deal terribly with Sophie once I lay my hands on her."The airport and no stops, then you drive fast, no questions asked," I order him as soon I get into the car,He complies with my orders and drives fast. Soon enough, I was at the airport, and the speakers were blasting an announcement of the passengers getting ready to check in."Where is she now?" I ask over the call connected to the Bluetooth in my ear as I walk towards the checking session,"Close enough, just a few more steps ahead of you," he explains."Thanks, man," I say before increasing my pace.I pull her by the bag she ha
It's been over two weeks since I last had any intimate sessions with Ronan, times had passed, and somehow it seems to have traced itself back to the past where I knew no one and was new in the house.He had stopped calling me in for any routines and won't say a thing to me, I've passed by him a few times, and he doesn't even spare me a glance,A day after the escape drama, I was left all alone in the room even though Danica had tried persuading Ronan for me, but her feedback was that he wanted me to have enough time to rethink my actions.Although I know Ronan would never say anything that nice and calm, he must have said it in a very abusive manner, making me realize he was pissed at me.Even my routine of serving him food had stopped. He didn't want to see my face up close to him.I roll around in bed, feeling uncomfortable. I've spent two weeks in this room, hardly coming out. Even after I had promised myself never to get passed or tossed around by anyone, I still find it hard to b
Perhaps it could be a coincidence, or maybe something had happened, and it had something to do with her."What should we do, sir?" The voice asks me once more."This man you said you saw and checked it isn't a glitch?""Yeah, sir," the man responds with complete confidence."Then run a face search on him and send the picture to my phone. Once you recognize who it is, make sure you run a background search and send the file to my phone, you do that as soon as possible I want answers today," I order."Yes, sir, I'm on it," he says and ends the call.I walk towards my bed, holding my temples as I develop a splitting headache.Why is everyone not doing their jobs right? Why would Sophie run out on a highly skilled bodyguard and now a stranger who knows nothing, a mere stranger walks in and out of my land twice with the whole security team on alert?Have I raised them higher than they are, or are the culprit is way smarter?I'm interrupted by two knocks on my door, the knock repeats itself,
“Pardon?" Danica asks me, confused at what made me shout."It's okay. You can go. I'll let you know if I need anything else" she nods slightly but pauses and checks the time and back to me."I canceled the sessions today. I'm a bit busy, as you can see. '' I explained to her, and she nodded as a sign of understanding what I said as she looked at me once more before taking her to leave.I stare back at the document and walk towards my sofa with the file in my hand as I scan through the picture thoroughly,Perhaps I had made a mistake as people get lots of looks, but I am not wrong as I look down towards the name to see Antonio just as I had thought."Antonio Diaz '' is written with block letters and highlighted.I scroll through thoroughly to see that this Antonio of a person has been moving state after state with few new IDs and passport ways on the low bit and minor cases with the feds.I scroll past once more as I study the areas where he had lived, which match well with the ones wh
Elysia's Pov I was standing in the crowded airport terminal, trying to find my gate among the sea of people. Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to find a man standing in front of me, his eyes piercing through me. "Hi, I'm Hector," he said, extending his hand. I shook his hand mechanically, trying to place where I had seen him before. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him. As we stood there, I began to feel a headache coming on. It started as a faint throbbing in my temples, but it quickly escalated to a full-blown migraine. I winced and closed my eyes, trying to block out the noise and chaos of the airport. "Are you okay?" Hector asked, his voice laced with concern. I opened my eyes and looked at him, trying to focus through the pain. "Yes, I'm fine," I lied. Hector looked at me skeptically, but he didn't push the issue. Instead, he changed the subject. "I came here to help you," he said. "I know you've been through a lot, and I want to do
Elysia's Pov I was angry at Damon for his silly joke, but I tried to brush it off and focus on the trip ahead. After the plane took off, I excused myself and went to the restroom to compose myself. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I wiped the tears from my eyes and tried to take a deep breath. I thought about what my mother had told me before we left – that this trip was supposed to be about finding myself and getting closer to my husband. I shouldn't try to regain my lost memories, I should focus on restoring my relationship with Damon. But as I stepped out of the bathroom, feeling motivated and ready to move forward, I was confronted by the stranger – Hector – smiling at me. His presence made me even more uneasy, and I asked him point blank, "What do you want?" Hector just smiled and touched my shoulder. The touch felt familiar, like we had been intimate before. It sent shivers down my spine and made me even more confused about my past. "I'm here to help you," Hector said, h
