“What?” I gasped with wide eyes.Her scowl deepened, but her hands remained pointed toward the door.“Get out of my house young madam,” she hissed darkly.“I just want to ask about your mother, where is—““If you don’t leave now, I’ll scream of harassment,” she threatened.I watched her with shock, wondering what prompted her to act like this?My mind reeled, trying to find a reason why she must be avoiding my question about Cara.“I’ll only count to three.If you are not out by then—you cannot imagine what I’ll do,” she spat with all seriousness.I said nothing, but stood there, watching her.My fingers wrapped, and clenching around the handle of my bag.My eyes shifted past her to the door behind as I took a deep breath, steadying myself.Nervousness ate its way inside me as the sound of my heart beat echoed in my ears, yet, I won’t allow it stop me.“1!”Immediately she roared those words, I dashed past her, running toward the door behind her.She shouted in rage behind me, but I k

My disoriented eyes landed on deep swirls of black ones as I swallowed.My gaze shifted from his face and bile rose up my throat from anxiousness as I took in my environment.The entire place was rough, filled with crates and cartons.Some looked somewhat empty and others full.My body froze in realization of what this meant.They must have brought me to an abandoned warehouse.Terror clawed in my chest as my eyes moved back, taking in the four pairs of eyes staring at me.Their masks still on their faces hiding their identity.They were four of them, and they all watched me like a hawk—as if ready to take me down at any minute.“Who…who are you?” I stuttered, trying to keep my fear in check as sweat dripped down my forehead.The black eyes man laughed loudly in my face.His disgusting breath of smoke wafted in my nose, and I wanted to scrunch my face in disgust—but fear kept me grounded.“You are in no position to ask any questions now, princess,” he snarled, leaving not an inch of d

“What…no…no, what are you doing, Tyler?” I asked, my eyes flared in shock as I watched him.He sighed, his hands around the steering wheel tightening as he clenched his jaws. “I’m trying to help you, Leah.I cannot send you home like this.Ethan, would not care if you were on the verge of death.He tried to—““Ethan is my husband, Tyler.And you’ll address him properly,” I growled jerking up with the seat belt still wrapped around me.His jaw locked hard, yet he said nothing to my comment. “Don’t think too much about it,” he breathed after a moment of silence.“I just wanted to make you more comfortable, Leah.You were shaken up back there.And then, taking you to a hospital, in a room filled with strange people would make matters worse.”“What are you trying to do, Tyler?I’m a married woman,” I scowled my tone hard with a warning, noticing his behavior today was strange.Letting out a gush of air from his lips—his eyes never darted away from the windscreen of his car as he drove.

I swallowed. I could feel tears burning at the back of my eyes, yet I would never let them drop.“Let’s go home, Ethan,” I rasped.He said nothing, but stood still watching me.I moved to walk towards where he stood, only for something to tug me back.I watched as Ethan's eyes flickered to the skin where Tyler’s palm to the flesh of my hands.My angry eyes turned, snapping to the face of a hopeful Tyler.“Are you really going with him, Leah?” He questioned.His words sounded absurd to me. I tugged my hands away from his, but still having the decency of replying to him, knowing he had saved my life today.“Yes.”“You know I’m always here—waiting for you Leah.Ethan is unstable.He might—““Ethan is my husband,” I snapped in anger, cutting him off, and I watched as shock clouded his features.I tried to find it in me to feel bad towards him, but then, there was nothing here.Just anger.Angry for the fact that he had given his family the implications that I was his girlfriend knowing
