Chapter 33: What to Do

I became cautious as the days went by. I was waiting for Desmond to come to confront me but he never showed up. I was agitated because of that.

"Are you alright, Seraphina?"

I flinched when someone tapped on my shoulder. I was already standing on the pavement and turned around to see Niscia who had a worried expression right now.

I let out a shaky breath and nodded. I thought it was Desmond but I was wrong. "Yes, I am alright..."

"Why are you not going home then?" she asked and fished out her pocket watch. "It's 7 in the evening already. Sander will be worried about you again."

"Sander is not in my flat," I said, finally said. "I did not allow him to stay there anymore."

Her eyes widened. "What do you mean by that?" she asked, furrowing her eyebrows. "Did something happen?"
