Chapter 56

SAGE

I keep on struggling inside the car. I was doing everything I could to escape from him whenever I got a chance. I even tried to open the car door and jumped from it. But Titus was quick to grab my waist and pull me back inside. And that's the reason why my hands were tied up behind my back. "We're here," Titus announced. He went ahead and stepped out of the car before offering his hand for assistance.

I scowled at

at him, knowing full well that he was teasing me. My hands were securely tied behind my back, which makes it impossible for me to reach for his hand even if I wanted to. He knew that, and yet he found it amusing to pretend otherwise. A chuckle escaped his lips that was followed by that infuriatingly mischievous. smirk as he caught me glaring at him. "We wouldn't be in this situation if you knew how to behave," he commented with his annoyingly smug look.

I rolled my eyes in response, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a verbal reply. Instead, I focused on the struggle of getting out of the car. The moment I tried to stand, he reached out to help me with his grip, firm but surprisingly gentle. I jerked away from his touch, shoving his hand off with a defiant shake of my shoulder.

As soon as I was out of the car, I quickly scanned the area, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. But my hopes were dashed when I saw nothing but an endless stretch of barren land. There was nothing there but the car that had brought us here and the plane parked a short distance away. The realization hit me hard. There was no way out. Not here, at least. I felt a surge of frustration and fear, but I swallowed it down as Lrefused to let him see my panic. Instead, I straightened my shoulders and prepared myself. Brought on by my desperation, I was planning on running as fast as I could, even though I'm well aware that there's no escaping this place. 11:47 Tue, Sep 17 OB Chapter 56

He watched me with a knowing look, his eyes flicking over my face as if he could read every thought running through my mind. "Don't waste your time, kitten," he said in his deep baritone voice. "There's nowhere to run."

But I couldn't just stand there and accept it. His words were a challenge, and I wasn't about to back down. Without a second thought, I bolted, sprinting as fast as my legs would carry me. My heart pounded in my chest. My breath coming in ragged gasps as I pushed myself harder. I didn't look back. Afraid that if I did, I'd be seeing him running after me.

The ground blurred beneath me as I ran, the wind whipping through my hair. It felt like I'd been running for hours, my legs burning from the constant running, and my lungs were strained to keep up.

Finally, when I felt like I couldn't take another step, I dared to glance over my shoulder, desperate to see how much distance I'd managed to put between us. But what I saw nearly made me stumble to a stop.

There, right behind me, was Titus, effortlessly keeping pace as if my frantic escape was nothing more than a leisurely stroll for him. His expression was calm as he watched my futile attempt to outrun him. It was as if he'd been there all along.

I didn't understand how he'd done it. But it didn't matter. The reality of the situation hit me like a cold splash of water. There was no escaping him. Not here, not now.

"Nice try," he murmured, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he closed the small gap between us. "But you'll never escape me...never again."

The determination that had driven me to run faded away like a candle being blown out, leaving me feeling defeated. I stood there, breathing hard, unable to move as the weight of his presence overwhelmed me.
