TESSA I must have imagined it all last night because this morning, the bed was very much empty. I felt stronger today and was tired of being cooped up in this room so I got dressed in some casual clothes and headed downstairs. This was my first time stepping out of the room since I got here and the place was beautiful to say the least. My interest spiked, I needed to explore. I headed downstairs, passing through the living room before reaching the entrance doors. It was guarded by two men, but surprisingly, when I got closer, they made way for me to pass. I knitted my brows in confusion. That was easy. I'd thought they'd stop me from going out just like the other time back at the villa. The wind blew at my hair which I let fall in their natural waves.The blue ocean stretched endlessly before me, disappearing into the horizon. I wrapped my arms around myself, rocking slightly on my feet as I absent-mindedly admired the beautiful scenery before me. The air was fresh. I really n

TESSA I stood rooted to the spot as I watched him storm out of the room. My chest rose and fell rapidly. I felt a sting on my chin where he grabbed. I raked my fingers through my hair as I tried to calm myself down. This was all too much. A part of me wanted to be thankful that he saved me from eating that food, but a stronger part hated that his first resort was to kill. She pleaded till her last breath yet he didn't show mercy.

We leave for my safehouse in the city during the weekend.” He said in a business-like tone as if he wasn't a bit affected by what happened. I nodded, not finding my words. “Um… I should get going now..,” I rambled on as my hand raised up to clutch the side of my neck. Without a second thought, I scurried away, passing by the huge men and rushing back up to the room. I mentally cursed myself for how I reacted. What the hell did I say? I couldn't even form a proper sentence? “Oh my God,” I groaned, burying my face into a pillow as I laid down flat on my stomach. I beat at the bed while kicking my feet in the air as muffled sounds escaped through my screams. I knew I was as red as a tomato. Oh my God, they'd probably be thinking we did something! And why did I lean in to him when I should have pushed him a
