Chapter 32Eva's POVThe next day became very hectic. I had to do the laundry. Especially when it got to washing his clothes. I was stressed over it. I have to wash many things.As I stood in front of the washer, staring at the mountain of laundry that awaited me, I felt overwhelmed. How was I going to get it all done in time? And more importantly, how was I going to keep up this charade of having a cat? I was so busy trying to figure out a solution that I didn't even hear Mark come into the room. "Everything okay?" he asked, startling me. I spun around, my heart racing. "Oh, um... yes," I stammered, trying to regain my composure. "I'm just... just..."It was then I realized it was him I was talking to. I turned to him and he told me that we would be going to parties. Going to a party with him. "No I won't go to a party with you." I refused. "You will whether you like it or not.""Oh, fucking stop. Fucking stop it. I am not going to the party with you. Do you understand that?" I bl

Chapter 34Eva's POVThe next day, one of the guards brought me out of the dark room where I was already sweating. I didn't know but I was traumatized with the nightmare that I had that night. Michael's head rolling at my feet when Mark killed him. He is just so wicked and all I want to do right now is to run away from him. I thought the maid would take me to him but good thing was that I went straight back to my room and Ria came visiting me. I guess she was done with her chores. "Hey, I am sorry I wasn't able to come and help you when you were locked in there." Ria apologized but I saw no reason for her to apologize to me when all she does was to mind her business. In fact, I was glad she didn't come closer to me or else that stupid guard would have locked us both in the dark room. I don't want anybody to suffer with me.Ria sat down next to me on the bed and placed a hand on my arm, gently. I could feel her concern, and I was grateful for it. But I was still feeling shaken from th

36Eva's POVAs I walked back to the pack house, I felt a mixture of emotions. I was relieved to be back, but I was also worried about what I had just experienced. I had never been so scared before. I had never felt so out of control. But I had also never felt so free. I was confused, and I didn't know what to make of it all. I knew one thing for sure, though. I didn't want to go through that again. I didn't want to feel so lost and scared and alone. I needed to figure out a way to deal with all of this, and fast. Getting back to the pack, I stayed in Ria's room because I was scared of Mark coming to get me. In the midnight, Lowell came to get Ria leaving me in her room. I rolled over the bed and sat up when I could sleep and heading Lowell and Ria's moans were disturbing. I finally got up and left Ria's room because Lowell's room was beside Ria's. I went back to my room and immediately I shut the door. I went over to my bed and covered my head with the duvet.As I lay there, trying

Chapter 38Eva's POVAs I approached the CCTV room, I could hear voices inside. I hesitated for a moment, but then I steeled myself and opened the door. I was surprised to see that there was only one person in the room - the head of security, Kevin. He looked up when he heard the door open, and his eyes widened when he saw me. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice sharp. I hesitated, unsure of what to say. I had to think quickly. "I, um... I was just curious about the CCTV footage," I said, my voice shaking slightly. "I wanted to see if well," I started with courage so he won't suspect anything. "I want to see if the CCTV footage is working perfectly well. Who knows? That woman called Yvonne might have tampered with it." I announced to him. "Tsk!" He mumbled and stared at me."You think Yvonne would do that?" he asked, sounding incredulous. I could tell he didn't believe me, and I had to keep talking before he became suspicious. "Well, I've heard she can be quite vindictive

Chapter 40. "You heard what I said, Eva. We are both going on a trip tonight. Prepare. Your things would be prepared by the maids. Be ready by seven and the plane is already ready by seven thirty." Mark said and before I could say something, he walked away leaving me alone.I stood there in disbelief, trying to process what had just happened. I was supposed to be going on a trip with Mark and his group, but I had no idea why. I felt like I was being used for something, but I didn't know what. I tried to think of a reason why Mark would want me to go on this trip, but I came up empty. I felt lost and confused, and I had no idea what to do next. I looked at Ria, hoping she would have some answers for me, but she just shrugged her shoulders again."You don't have any choice but to go with him. You don't want him to hurt you. He has a temper and little to no patience. I am sorry but he asked me to get you ready." She said. I nodded. She helped me up and took me away from the healer's r
