Chapter 21

Lyra's POVMy view was completely blocked until the van finally came to a stop. The windows rolled down, we were back in the parking lot of the supermarket.The door slid open, Reece was reaching out for something in a bag as I was urged out by another man. I stepped out, still trembling with fear.Reece stepped out afterwards with a small bag. “Alright, we are back now. You can go on with your day, I'll handle the rest.” He said, attempting to head into the supermarket.“Wait, you're coming with me? I thought you were to just let me go. What are you planning on doing this time?” I asked him.“ You've been gone for almost two hours. Perhaps you have a very good excuse to give your boss already?” Reece taunted.I paused, realizing he would save me my job if he manages to convince the manager.

I took Eleanor to her room, she immediately walked to her bed and laid down.“You seem tired today.” I said and kissed her cheek before leaving her room.I went to my room afterwards, it had been such a long day. I was exhausted and still concerned about a lot of things.Theron sending his men to abduct me finally showed how far he would really go to get things done.
