Two Months Before Leaving You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Kara’s POV.The door was open.When I inspected the lock, I realized that it had been broken.My lock was broken, and my door was open. Someone had broken into my home while I was away.I scrambled away from the door and rushed to find the security guard in charge of my building, Malcolm.“Malcolm!” I cried out as soon as I found him, pacing the length of the ground floor. As soon as he heard my voice, he turned, ready to greet me. But then he saw the expression on my face.“Miss. Brady, what’s wrong?!”“You need to come with me right now; someone broke into my apartment!”Malcolm was quick to follow through as soon as he heard this. He got his gun and called upon the other security guard, Grady, and the three of us went upstairs to my apartment. Throughout the trip, they swore that they were watching CCTV footage the whole time they were in the security room, and no one saw anything suspicious. My building had pretty good security, so I was inclined to believe them.As soon as they s

Kara’s POV.I couldn’t sleep.It was somewhere between five and six in the morning, and I had given up sleeping after spending the night waking up from nightmare after nightmare. Every time I closed my eyes and slipped into sleep, the various demons of my life came to torment me. Unknown strangers ransacking my home, Jade threatening me, Derrick obsessing over me, stalking me and making my life hell…all of them were in my nightmares.It took me a while to get used to waking up in a strange room every single time. I’ve never stayed over at Axel’s house before, although I had been there multiple times. Axel’s place was classy, but homy too.Like, it could look like it just materialized out of a Interior Design magazine if not for all the personal touches Axel has added, like his luxurious red leather couch, all the weird ornaments, collectibles and whimsical gadgets he’s got hung up on walls and placed orderly on shelves as well as all the other things that added a special Axel touch to

Kara’s POV.I woke up with a pain in the back of my head, and panic overtook my mind, because it felt a lot like the time when I woke up in a hospital after surviving a house fire.Fortunately, though, this time, I didn’t have any vision problems, or at least, I didn’t think so. It was hard to be certain thanks to the possible painful concussion I had, and since I was in a dark room.But when I finally calmed down, I realized that I couldn’t move.Even though I wasn’t much of an outdoors kind of girl, I knew how a rope felt. I was seated on a chair, which explained the pain in my neck and spine, and I was tied to it.Oh, God. Even before the memories finally came, I knew what was happening.“Where am I?!” I cried out. “W-who are you? What’s going on?! Help!”“Boss lady, she’s awake,” a voice said before I could work myself into a full panic. It filled the silence of the dark room. It was a male voice with some sort of regional accent, and the voice echoed. “What do you want to do?”“T

Kara's POV "I will never do as you say!" I bark back at the speaker, "You cannot make me disappear like that! I haven't done anything to you, so I refuse to do anything you ask of me!" I couldn't tell if I was being brave or stupid. I was scared of what they can do to me. I've been captured and yet I chose to act brave and scream back at this woman whom only God knows what she is actually capable of doing, even from behind that microphone. I do not want to die, but I also cannot just pack up and leave like that. Not after everything I have been able to achieve on my own, after everything I have been through. After surviving that fire, and successfully lived as a different person with a different personality. A new identity? What a joke. I refuse to give in to her threats. Even though I wasn't certain yet, I had a feeling Jade was behind this. "Isn't that brave of you to say?" A different person speaks now. Someone standing close by, to my side. I wann

Kara's POV. "Kara!" Terra exclaims, squeezing me into a hug as soon as she sees me walking up her door steps, "You're okay!" Axel had brought me to Terra's house on my request. Terra lets us in and helps me sit back on her couch in her living room. The nurse Jerome came with us, checked my vitals before leaving me with some painkillers, and left to attend to her other patients. "Oh my goodness, Kara," Terra says as she sits on the center table in front of me, "I was so worried when Axel got that phone call. We were so worried, but we couldn't go to the police. Thank God Jerome was there to rescue you." Terra rubs a hand gently along my thighs suitably. From her body language, you can tell that she is very much relieved to have me back. I can only imagine how worried she was. She had probably pictured different scenarios in her head about where I was and what had happened to me. My thoughts, yet again, wandered around who could have done this. "I think Jade w
