Marrying a Monster by Choice
I didn't dare imagine how terrifying it would be if that blade had struck me instead.
Seeing me dodge only enraged Rosa more, and her eyes turned bloodshot. "Bitch, go to hell!"
She found a burst of strength out of nowhere. Yanking the machete free, she swung it at me again. Just seconds before the blade sliced into me, a strong hand caught it in midair.
I looked up, and there was Dexter.
He didn't look like the clean, sharp young man I was used to. His eyes were dark with exhaustion, and his jaw was covered in scruff. Clearly, he hadn't stopped searching for me since the moment I disappeared.
