Chapter 24

“What do you want?” Raidon asks, startling me.

I bite my lip to keep the words from passing my lips and ignore Raidon. It isn’t like I have any money left to buy anything to eat anymore. Because of those assholes and their stupid attempts to get me fired, I had to give my last few dollars to Vadum to drive me to their stupid mansion. I didn’t want to lose my only job, and all my attempts to go out of my way to keep it resulted in getting attacked by Leon.

Raidon growls at my silence and places an order at the window. He drives through to the next window. My stomach growls in hunger, and at this point, I’m thankful that Raidon decided to turn on the radio to kill the silence in the car, so he couldn’t hear how hungry I am.

He retrieves the paper bag with food, pays the worker and tosses the bag onto my lap, making me jump in my seat.

“Eat your goddamn food and point me in the direction of that dump you live at,” Raidon says and pulls his back on the main road.

A little shaken up, I show him the way to my old apartment building. Since that is the address, I put on my resume. I can’t let any of them know that I am homeless. If Thane were to find out about my living situation, he would use it as the reason to fire me and rid them of me for good. Despite the horror and misery I have to endure next to my bosses, I can’t afford to lose my job, so I have to suck it up.

I don’t dare to touch the food he threw at me inside the car. I don’t trust my hands which are still trembling from the entire ordeal ! found myself stuck in, the cold, and Raidon’s aura so close to me.
