I lazily pulled a huge black hoodie over my head. With a tired sigh, I pulled my hair up in a bun. Glancing in the mirror, I could see my efforts were a huge fail. I just turned away, pulling on black sneakers. I walked out of my room to find the apartment empty. The others had left much earlier. I was the only one here.Walking to the fridge, I grabbed a bottle of water. I opened it and took small sips of water. I was extremely exhausted and in need of some-A knock sounded at the door and I knew who it was when it suddenly opened without me having to walk all the way there. Alexa dressed in tight black pants, black heels, and a loose long-sleeved white shirt strolled in like the place was a Victoria's Secret runway. Her brown hair was up in a neat ponytail."You look like a hobo," she commented. I looked down at my grey sweatshirt, black hoodie, and black sneakers. I just put the bottle of water down and stuffed my hands in my pockets as I walked past her.I was too tired to deal wi

I took a bite of the chicken sandwich I had just made. The kitchen was silent because I was the only one around. I mean, it was 2 am. I just got a little hungry and came down to eat.It's been two days since Alexa was supposed to find out more about me but she still had to stick to my side like Luca wanted so I didn't escape. She hadn't had a chance to go out of the estate as far as I was concerned and all phone calls were monitored in one of the secret rooms I'd found yesterday, hiding from security.They had gone a little crazy when they didn't find me so that was amusing on my side. I picked up my cup of juice, drowning half of it. Who knew how much I'd missed food? The "safe house" usually gave the girls nutritious snack bars that had white wrapping paper. They were one of the reasons I hated white.The snack bars were filled with all the nutrients our bodies needed and we were constantly fed water. Being healthy sucks. I'd rather chow down on fast food and home-cooked meals for t

I wandered around the mansion, surprised at the sparse population this morning. I hadn't slept after Faye and I had completely eaten all the cookies, just waiting for the sun to rise. It was weird how no one was breathing down my neck and I didn't like it one bit. I made my way to one of the many guest rooms, looking around for any sign of life and there was none.Not even Luca who was hell-bent on having me in his sight. I roamed towards the roof of the mansion, hoping some fresh air would do me good. I stood on the wide balcony, looking down at the estate, no guards in sight. I was seriously worried now."Look what the cat dragged in," I turned my head to see Alexa lounging on one of the many chairs outside in a bikini. "I'd invite you to tan with me but you know..." she said waving and gesturing to me in general."You mean I was already born with the perfect skin? Yeah I know," I said proud to be black. I couldn't change it and I wouldn't honestly.I went and sat down beside Alexa,

I tried to sleep, I really did but my eyes just wouldn't close. I lay on my bed for hours, my mind running rampant with thoughts that probably weren't healthy. With a sigh, I rolled off my bed and walked out the door, determined to find Faye. I was sure she was up by now, the sun was going to set over the horizon soon.Though I didn't voice it out loud, I was worried for Luca. I didn't know how long his trips lasted and the image of him returning all bloody and bruised had my stomach twisting and churning in a way I didn't like at all. What was worse, my heart ached. A lot. So I had to distract myself.Knocking on Faye's door, I heard a soft "Come in," before I pushed the door open.The older woman was in her bed, a bunch of snacks and sweet wrappers surrounding her as she looked at the screen of her laptop. My eyes wandered around her large and spacious room, from the fancy grey couches to the beautiful balcony."Hey," she said smiling at me, capturing my attention and I smiled back.

I slowly walked up the stairs to the roof, where I had met Alexa this morning. My steps were soft and light, the gun held tightly in my grasp, waiting for me to shoot. I put my finger on the trigger as I reached the top, the door cracked in the slightest. I pushed it open with the tip of the gun as I peered outside. There were three men up here, all crouched, guns pointed at the ground below.I slowly slipped on the roof, hiding behind one of the beach chairs. I put my back to one, letting a breath go before looking over its corner. Adjusting my stance, I pointed the gun at one of the three that was closest to me and let the bullet go. The others turned to him as the body flopped to the side and I jumped up, shooting a guy in the chest and the last one in the knee.The third one was searching his body for something when I moved forward and quickly hit him with my gun making him lose consciousness. Sighing, I went to the other two, removing their belts and using them to tie the third o
