Chapter 118

Annette POV:

Another haze of images greeted me outside the blackness. I felt like that time had reworded hadn’t I done this before? I suppose this was punishment for not getting away. What was I supposed to have done I refuse to die just get a rise out of my husband.

I had been moved from the forest but I was aware enough that I wasn’t back in my cell. After a few more glimpses of a truck bed, the sky, the sky. I missed the sky when would I see it again? When would the wind touch my face again?

This was so different I was able to remember where I had been. I wouldn’t have been able to tell next to me the last time. The dose had been changed.

Eventually, I woke up in a hotel room. My mind cleared much quicker. It only took me about an hour before I was truly awake and able to take stock. Why was I in a hotel room? Why hadn’t he brought me back to my cell to gloat that seemed much more his speed?

I must be in a city because the sheets were nice and the room had a modern and sleek design. What city was I in? A city? A city…..Grayson was looking for me all I had to do was get in front of some sort of camera and he’d get word.

I went to the door and opened it a semi–large back blocked my way. I halted for a second before I swung my foot up in between him. He dropped and coughed then sucked in a breath as I took off running.

I saw an elevator down the hall and ran for it they all had cameras right? Right? Was I just being delusional? Was he even going to see this? I didn’t know what city I was in or if we had allies in the city but I had to hope. I pushed the button hoping the damn thing would get there as my security guard staggered up to his feet and called for backup.

Please please please if there’s something else out there something else the great void between us seemed to great to talk to him not with more of that poison in my veins but if there was evidence of me out there maybe he could follow the trail.

I jumped on my the balls of my feet and the brawny Mormon was running my way of course I wanted to get away from them but even just one little glimpse of me would be enough for him to find me. Just maybe.

The doors parted as he hurled himself at me there had to be more of them all over the hotel it didn’t matter. I got into the elevator and looked up at the camera my eyes pleading and I looked back at the doors as they closed but my pursuers gargantuan hands wrenched into the space. He shoved the doors open and grabbed me.

I swung and got him into the nose and scratched at his eyes and his arms and kicked at him as he carried me back, I screamed and howled but I had a bet Marcus rented out the floor.

He hurled me back into the room and I landed on my butt. “Stay there,” he shouted at me.

He looked annoyed with me but Marcus wasn’t going to let any of them ruin my pretty face. He loved my face that’s what he told me. No one would hurt me, wasn’t that proof he was much better than Grayson?
