The next morning, I woke before Zane.

That had already become a quiet habit.

Not because I had to.

Because I wanted to.

His bedroom was still dim, early sunlight barely beginning to slip through the curtains. Zane lay beside me, one arm stretched across the empty side of the bed where I had been moments earlier. Even in sleep, he looked composed — controlled — like the world never truly caught him off guard.

I studied him for a moment longer than necessary.

    I watched the city through the window of the car.People walked along the streets.Cars moved past us.Shops opened.Life continued normally.It felt strange.My life had become a nightmare, yet the rest of the world seemed completely unaware.After about twenty minutes, Michael turned onto a quieter road.There were fewer buildings here.More trees.Large houses hidden behind walls and gates.He eventually stopped in front of a modest building.There was no obvious security.No police sign.Nothing that suggested a policeman worked there.Michael parked."Are we here?""Yes."I looked at the building."Your brother lives here?""No.""Then what is this?""A place where he knows we can talk privately."I nodded.Michael got out.I followed.He walked toward the entrance and knocked three times.Then twice.A few seconds later, the door opened.A man stood there.He looked to be in his late thirties.Tall.Broad shoulders.Short black hair.His expression was serious.His eyes immediat

    The next day, I woke up to breakfast. Micheal was really doing everything within his power to make me feel safe and comfortable.While we ate, I couldn't help looking at him, and every time he caught my gaze."Is there something you want to tell me?""What?""You have been staring at me..."I took a deep breath."Thank you for breakfast.""You're wlcome..." he answered."But I doubt that's all you wanted to say."I sighed deeply."I don't just want to hide from Zane."Michael waited."I want to find him."His eyes narrowed."I want to know where he is."I clenched my fists."I want to know what he's doing."I swallowed hard."And I want to find out if Alex is alive."Michael stared at me for several seconds.Then he nodded."Then we'll start there."For the first time since I had entered his apartment, I felt something I hadn't felt in days.Hope.Small.Fragile.But real.I didn't know whether Michael would become my greatest ally or another person I would eventually regret trusting

    I immediately became defensive."What kind of answers?""Why are people hunting you?"I looked away."I already told you.""You told me someone was after you.""You didn't say who.""I know."His voice remained calm."Is it Zane Wilde?"I froze.Michael continued."You said his name like you knew exactly what he was capable of."I said nothing."You also said he was going to hurt you and your baby."My hand instinctively moved to my stomach.Michael noticed."Is Zane the father?"My eyes snapped toward him."That's none of your business."He immediately raised his hands."Fair enough."I relaxed slightly."I'm not asking you to tell me anything about the baby."He paused."But I need to know why Zane is looking for you."I stared at him.Should I tell him?Every instinct inside me screamed not to.But another part of me knew I needed an ally.And if Michael's brother was a police officer, perhaps that could be useful.Perhaps this was the first opportunity I'd had to actually fight ba

    Michael opened the door and walked inside, and once he looked at me, he could see that I was terrified.His hand slowly left the door handle.He stared at me for a few seconds.Then his expression softened."Did you eavesdrop on my conversation?"My heart jumped."No."The answer came too quickly.Michael's eyes narrowed."Vivian.""I didn't.""You did."I swallowed.He closed the door behind him and walked farther into the room."I know you did."I backed away slightly."I wasn't trying to—""You were."His voice wasn't angry.That somehow made me more nervous.He stopped a few feet away from me."You heard me talking on the phone."I said nothing.He sighed."Why did you lie?""Because I was scared."That was the truth.At least part of it.I had been running for my life for days.I had watched people die.I had been hunted.I had lost Alex.And now the one person who had offered me shelter was standing in front of me, admitting that he had been hiding something.I couldn't afford a

    Michael was standing behind me.I slowly turned around.He wasn't smiling anymore."Just exploring."His eyes remained on mine."That room is private."I nodded."Okay."I stepped away.He didn't move.For a moment, we simply stared at each other.Then he sighed."I'm sorry.""For what?""I didn't mean to scare you.""You didn't.""Good."He walked past me and opened the bedroom door."Your room."I entered.The bedroom was just as neat as the rest of the apartment.White sheets.Dark curtains.A small bedside table.A wardrobe.Nothing personal.I turned toward him."Do you live alone?""Yes.""Always?"He hesitated."Mostly."My eyes narrowed."Mostly?"Michael leaned against the doorframe."You ask a lot of questions.""I've had a difficult few weeks.""I noticed."I folded my arms."You said I would be safe here.""You are.""How can you guarantee that?""Because no one knows you're here.""Except you.""And now you."I stared at him.He continued."I don't bring strangers here.

    Once we arrived at Michael apartment, it surprisingly felt welcoming.Michael assures me that Zane and his men will never find me here.But I knew I had to find a way to also make Zane pay for all that he had done.I still didn't know if Alex was alive.But I couldn't tell Michael all I knew about Zane yet.I needed to be sure I could trust him fully, and confirm my safety and that of my baby.Michael opened the door and stepped aside, allowing me to enter first.I stood in the doorway for a moment, looking around.I had expected something cold.Something dark.Maybe even something suspicious.Instead, the apartment was surprisingly warm.The living room was spacious without being extravagant. A large gray couch sat in the middle of the room, facing a television mounted on the wall. There was a small glass table in front of it, a bookshelf tucked against one wall, and a few framed pictures placed neatly on a console.Everything was clean.Organized.Normal.Too normal.I slowly steppe
