RaynaFor the first time in two weeks, I actually felt like I had freshened up.The feeling of the warm water drenching my skin as I scrubbed off the past from my body, I felt relieved.I stepped out of the shower, my body wiped clean and my hair damp. I put on one of Sven's shirts and one of my shorts. I couldn't be more grateful to be out of clothes I knew nothing about it's owner. I could actually smell the freshness which signified a bath worth the time.I closed the door behind as I stepped into the bedroom. Sven sat on my side of the bed, his legs tapping rapidly on the floor.His elbows rested on his knee, his eyes watching me carefully. I took slow steps towards him, my eyes locked on him as his was on me.“You okay?” I asked, even though I already knew that answer.“Not even close.” He let out a sigh.I took a seat beside him, my hands resting on his thigh.His gaze turned to my hand, silence filled with a lot of unanswered questions lingered in the air.“Let's talk, Sven.”H

RaynaThree days passed by like a breeze. It was as though someone had died and we were all mourning. Everywhere was as quiet as a graveyard…almost.The news about Reeves somehow spread like a wildfire and I couldn't even understand how it got leaked in the first place.I could hear people talking about it whenever I was approaching somewhere in the building.What was supposed to be a joyful week for my return, turned to a week of shock and heartbreak.I somehow hoped Reeves would show up after that night we found the letter. I anticipated a return, another letter, one crazy move, something…but nothing. There was no trace and no word from him.I couldn't help but think of a lot of things. What happened to him? Did he flee? How did he know Sven had found me? Did something bad happen? What if he fell out with the Arabs over my disappearance and they hurt him?As much as I hate him for everything he did to me, for every heart attack he almost gave me, for every year he made me shed…but,

Venus ‘I can't be the only one feeling it, right?’ Sai asked, excitement in her voice, sounding as though we were a few moments away from being dead.But I couldn't lie, I felt it as much as she did.I stared at the guy standing by my room door, his eyes shifting between Rayna and I like he was seeking permission to come in.“You know you can come in, right?” I asked him.“Oh, sorry.” He said, making his way in.“Um Venus, this is Ralph, my brother.” Rayna gestured to him. “He's the one that led us to you.”‘He probably feels it too!’ I could imagine Sai jumping for joy.I stared at the guy before me, his grey eyes lingering on me more than it should. Even before he got close to the cell room, I could feel it, I could feel him. It was the exact same feeling from Arnaldo's house that night.‘It was him! I can feel it.’“Can you quiet down?” I whispered, turning my attention back to Ralph and Rayna. “Nice to meet you, Ralph and thank you for finding me.”His lips curled into a faint s

VenusI stared at Sven who stood by my door, still waiting for me to give him an answer.I didn't want to talk to him at all.His presence alone still struck some kind of fear within me and I was really uncomfortable just having him here.“Venus.” He called out to me, probably like some sort of persuasion.‘Just hear him out.’ I was shocked at Sai’s response because I had expected her to not want to have anything to do with him as well.Probably not.“5 minutes.” I said, moving my legs aside so he could sit.He nodded before making his way in and towards me.There was silence for a straight two minutes, no one saying anything to the other as he took his seat.I could feel something different in his aura. He seemed calm, a whole lot calmer than when he had his episode.He was more like a dove now and not the wild animal that left me for dead.“Said you want us to talk?” I reminded him since he chose to remain quiet.He nodded, turning his gaze to me, “I doubt that an apology would sol

Rayna“Oh I'm so not doing that design.” I shook my head, handing the phone back to Venus who stood beside me like the chief bridesmaid.“What do you mean you're not doing this. It's so beautiful.”I shook my head still. That was my coronation dress we were talking about. I still had the dresses I never wore for the coronation and mating night…but actually, I had no plans of wearing both, just one at least.I would have decided not to wear any at all because firstly, seeing the boxes alone brought back horrible memories from that week and secondly, I wanted Julia to have a hand in both outfits…but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for her to make a whole new dress…but she could make another for the mating night.I turned my attention to Julia who I had invited over to discuss the outfit with.The memory of how she jumped on me the moment she saw me was something that was going to linger for a long time.I couldn't explain how much I had missed each of them. I longed to see the k
