Chapter OneMy SaviorTwo Years Later Eliza's POVThe morning sun seeped into the room and it shown on my face, I cranked my eyes open one after the other and stared blankly at the ceiling of my one room apartment.I sighed after imagining the long day in front of me, it was the same routine, waking up and going to the coffee shop, being belittled and humiliated by the customers.I jumped down from the bed and rubbed my eyes, the last thing I would want was getting late to the coffee shop, my boss wouldn't take it lightly with me.I walked into the bathroom and washed my face in the sink, I leaned on it afterwards and stared into the mirror, and what comes to my mind whenever I do that was my sister.The last time I set my eyes on Emily was two years back when she came to visit me in the hospital, she was pregnant at that time and she also told me that she would be getting married soon, it was all like a dream to me, she disappeared after that.I didn't know what I did to her to dese
