When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

When I woke up, I initially thought I would be in an abandoned factory, but to my surprise, I was in a room that was tidy and looked as if someone stayed in here before.

I got up from the bed and went to the living room. No one was there, but I heard a woman reciting her prayers in another room.

Heading toward the room, I halted when I was at the entrance. A few statues and books in Sanskrit characters were placed in the smoke-filled room, whereas Tessa was kneeling and putting her hands together as she recited her prayers.

When I saw her, I knew running away was impossible, so I went to the living room and sat on the ground. The apartment was comprised of three rooms and a living room. She stayed in a room, and the other room was used for her prayers and worship, while the third room was for storage.

There was nothing in the living room except for a coffee table, and it didn’t even feel like home. Laurel once told me Tessa was in her forties, but she wasn’t married and lived alone.

Seeing that the apartment was rather empty, I figured she didn’t have a boyfriend and was staying by herself.

After a while, she came out from the worshipping room with prayer beads in her hand and looked at me. “Would you like some tea?” As she spoke, she sat at the coffee table and started boiling a pot of water.

I pursed my lips and asked, “What do you want?”
