“How long are you going to keep this up?” he asked me, frowning while both of his hands were placed on either side of his waist.

We are now staying in the main villa, and since we left the cabin, I haven’t taken anything but water. He still hasn’t given me my phone back, and I’m pretty persistent about getting it back by h ook or by crook. I need to talk to my son. I can’t continue staying here and pretending as if we’re the only people in the world when my son is out there trying to survive on his own.

Sylvia is an angel. She has been very reliable when it comes to taking care of my son. But I still couldn’t change the fact that she’s still basically a stranger to us. Despite that, I’m still more willing to leave my son under her care than to allow Sebastian to know the truth about our son.

I need to make sure I know what’s going on inside his head before I decide to introduce him to my son. I can’t take the risk of telling him the truth without making sure that he’s not going to take him away from me.

“For as long as I can,” I responded. I’m currently staying in the room, locking myself in. But obviously, he had the key; that’s why he’s known for standing at the end of the bed, looking irritated.

“You haven’t eaten anything since this morning! Do you have any idea what time it is right now?”

I’m well aware of how long it has been since I decided to do a hunger strike against Sebastian. He isn’t the only one counting every minute passed since this morning. My stomach has been growling non-stop, and I’m starting to have a migraine. Despite all of that, I endured everything and didn’t give up. I need that phone, and if starving myself to death is the only way to get what I want, then that’s what I’m going to do.

I looked outside the window and noticed that it was already dark outside. I decided to stay silent.

“Are you trying to kill yourself?!” He raises his voice. Irritation was evident in his voice. I can hear his deep breath, probably from frustration, but I didn’t try to look his way. It didn’t take long before I heard him blow a loud breath. “Fine!” he shouted before walking towards his drawer. I fetched a key from his pocket and opened it. From there, he grabbed my phone before handing it over to me. “Do you promise to eat after
