Chapter 17
I was ready for my daily walk and I needed it more today than I did all those other days. I needed some time outside and I'd ask Elisabeth not to speak because I just wanted to breathe and think about Quentin and what went down yesterday. I also wanted to think about escaping because my ankle's coming along nicely and I can walk a bit better than before. So I should start coming up with some mastermind plan to get the hell out of this place.
After learning from Quentin yesterday that he owns this entire town, called Wyvernston Creek, that stretched as far as the eye could see, I know my escape won't be easy. I just need to think smart even though I'm desperate enough to do anything at this point.
I heard a knock on my bedroom door and I knew it was Elisabeth so I walked to the door and opened it wide open, e

"Are you crazy?" Elisabeth shouted as the smile on my face got smaller the more I was looking at her angry face that had gone pink."Well hello to you too, Elisabeth," I grumbled as I put my hand down, deflated that my only friend wasn't looking very pleased with me, "I missed yo-""Sarafina, what were you thinking?" She snapped as the door slammed closed behind her and all of the curtains in the room covered the opened windows, leaving both she and I in the dark as she flew close to my face, "do you know what you are doing?""Uh, what are you talking about?" I asked her, wondering what could have made her so upset because I haven't done anything wrong."How could you tell him t

"I wasn't serious, you know that," was the first thing that I said as I entered Quentin's private office that I knew was off limits but I needed to talk to him. "I didn't mean it," I paused and I watched as he looked up from whatever he was reading, and raised an eyebrow."What are you-""I was just...I was just testing the waters," I used the words I'd practiced that I'd have to say in front of him, "Elisabeth gave me a whole earful about what I did, and I realised that I don't want to break apart your family, no matter how different it is. So, yeah," I concluded, nodding my head and wiping my hands on the jeans that I was wearing before I turned to leave."Sarafina, wait," I heard him say and the commanding tone caused shivers to go down my

"This is not going to work, this is not going to work," I kept muttering to myself under my breath as I tried to quiet my racing heart. I looked behind me to make sure that I wasn't being suspected as I walked around the grounds.I didn't have Elisabeth by my side today. I'd told her that I wanted to get some air alone and I know she was giving me the space and privacy that I needed. But I realised last night that I needed to leave.I came here with nothing and I was going to leave with nothing. All that I had on was the clothes that I was wearing, which was a pair of black leggings, a black tank top and a cropped track top from Adidas.I have to just try and move with this cast, no matter how difficult it is because I'm desperate to run away

"Quentin, are you serious?" Brigitte complained as she walked into my office and switched on the lights. I groaned, shutting my eyes tightly at the sudden intrusion of intense light. She began walking around the room, opening all of the windows and curtains and I grumbled under my breath as I poured myself some more whisky to drink away."You've been drinking all night and all morning," she said sternly to me as she took away my bottle of expensive custom made whisky and if it was any other time I would've grabbed it back from her and instructed her to leave but I was exhausted, drunk and hurt."You're an absolute mess, Quentin," she scolded as she started tidying up around the room before she stood in front of my desk and looked down at me. I put my head down on the table, not caring about anything at

Asa and her nan were more than wonderful. Even though I walked through the front door as a stranger, her nan treated me like I was her own blood, hugging me and giving me a kiss while rushing to make me some tea and forcing Asa to get me a blanket and warm clothes."Are you feeling warm enough, child?" She asked me as I wrapped my hands tighter around my mug of tea that I appreciated more now than ever.I smiled shyly at her and nodded my head. She was sitting across from me on the other sofa as she sat all curled up in her thick blanket with cushions all around her. "Yes, I am, thank you for everything, nan," I said to her. She heavily insisted I call her nan.She smiled widely at me, coughing into her hand and apologizing profusely, "I'm sor

I grit my teeth and froze in the middle of the kitchen as I heard Asa begin to mumble loudly. I turned around slowly, my eyes having already adjusted to the dark as I stared at her to see if she was awake and a million things started to run through my mind as I thought about an excuse I'd have to give, if she woke up and caught me right now.I'll use the "I needed some water" or "I was looking for the bathroom" and hope I'll get away with it. I had changed out of my clothes when I just arrived and got dressed in Asa's warm pyjamas that I was still wearing at the moment with no shoes.Seeing that she was still asleep, I relaxed a bit as I walked around the kitchen looking for the keys to unlock the door. I found a phone right beside the old rusted kettle that I'm surprised still works and picked it up quickly

"Where are we?" I asked as I looked around the modern foreign home that I’m certain belonged to Quentin. It’s modern interior and it’s outside biophilic design made the home perfectly blend into the deep dark forest that the home was surrounded by. I could tell such a home had cost a pretty penny, but let’s be honest, it’s money that Quentin has."One of my other houses, far from others and more in the quiet countryside. I figured you needed some time away from the manor," he began as he walked into the kitchen and I watched him open the fridge and pull out two beers, "a beer?"

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and absolute bliss. Everything just seemed so peaceful that I'd forgotten where I was and why I was here. The sheets around me were comfortable and soft and they were making me feel warm and fuzzy. I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.I rubbed my eyes as I sat up and looked around the bedroom, seeing that I was alone. I covered a yawn and stood up slowly, running my hands through my hair to tame the mess and walked around the bed to the bathroom.I looked at myself in the mirror before I leaned down and splashed some water on my face before I found what I hoped to be a brand new toothbrush and brushed my teeth. I wet my hands a bit and ran them through my hair before I walked out of the bathroom and out of the bedroom.
