The prospect of leaving behind the familiar and venturing into uncharted territory filled her with a heady mix of excitement and trepidation. As she contemplated the path that lay before her, Sarah couldn't help but marvel at the irony of it all. The very man who had once held her captive, both physically and emotionally, was now the key to her liberation.

Sarah rose with the first light of dawn, her movements careful not to disturb the man sleeping peacefully beside her. With a soft exhale, she slipped out of his embrace, her heart heavy with the weight of the secrets she carried. She tiptoed across the room, her gaze falling upon his unattended phone resting innocently on the table. A pang of guilt twisted in her chest as she hesitated, torn between the desire to reach out to her family and the fear of betraying Zakariah's trust. But the longing for connection won out in the end, and with trembling hands, she reached for the phone, her fingers hovering uncertainly over the screen. She stole a glance at Zakariah's sleeping form, his features softened in repose, before steeling herself to make the call. Her heart hammered in her chest as she dialed her parents' number, her breath catching in her throat as she waited for them to answer. With each ring, her anxiety mounted, her mind racing with a thousand different scenarios of what mi

The following weeks dawned with the familiar routine of dropping Sarah off at the hospital gates, Zakariah's gaze lingering on her form as she disappeared into the bustling corridors. Alone in the quiet confines of his car, he found himself at a loss, unsure of how to fill the hours until her shift's end. With a resigned sigh, he decided to occupy himself with a task he had long neglected—the hospital's financial records. As he pored over the meticulously kept books, Zakariah's mind wandered, drifting back to the absence of his beloved "kitten." It had been too long since she had been away from his side, her absence leaving a palpable void in his life. Though he trusted his people to keep a watchful eye on her, he couldn't shake the gnawing sense of unease that gnawed at his insides.

As Zakariah dialed a number on his phone, Sarah watched with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. She could only catch snippets of his conversation, but it was clear that he was speaking to someone important—perhaps his brother, given his earlier mention of seeking refuge at his place. As they continued their journey, Zakariah made a brief stop for fuel, hastily purchasing some food for Sarah as they had missed breakfast. Sarah gratefully accepted the meal, her stomach rumbling with hunger as she devoured the food. But their moment of respite was short-lived. As Zakariah paid the bill at the counter, his sharp eyes caught sight of armed rebels surrounding the shop, their menacing presence reflected in the mirror. Without hesitation, Zakariah sprang into action, his hand instinctively reaching for his pistol as he bolted towards their vehicle.

As he steered his jeep away from her location, his heart raced with the urgency of their situation. She was his woman, his responsibility, and he would stop at nothing to ensure her safety—even if it meant risking his own life in the process. With a fierce determination driving him forward, Zakariah pushed the limits of his vehicle, pushing it to its maximum speed in a desperate bid to put as much distance between them and their pursuers as possible. But fate had other plans in store, and before long, the strain proves too much for the aging jeep, its engine sputtering and wheezing before finally giving out altogether. Undeterred by the setback, Zakariah's instincts kicked into overdrive as he swiftly assessed the situation. With a quick maneuver, he veered the jeep towards an oncoming black van, the impact sending it careening off the road and in
