My father sold me to the Mafia King novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: 127/Finally, I Managed to Escape

Chapter 127

Julie’s Point of View

Hours and hours passed while I was devouring the pages of the book, but the words were passing through my eyes without settling in my mind; for whenever I tried to focus, his image jumped into my head, and I felt the texture of his rough hair between my fingers in that cursed kiss.

The clock indicates midnight, and sleep has become an enemy that refuses to visit me.

Suddenly, the door handle moved with a faint creak. I froze in my place, my eyes widening as I watched the door open. Sarah entered, and I jumped up from the bed, my heart leaping in my chest like a trapped bird. I said in a panting tone: "Sarah!"

It was impossible for her to open her room door, for her room is locked like the rest of the girls here; only my room now is without a lock.

She approached me with rapid and confused steps, gripping my arm with a force that made me tremble, and whispered: "Julie... I have something important I want to tell you."

I took a step back while examining her pale face: "How did you come here? How did you get out and how did you know my room?"

She didn’t answer me; instead, the pressure of her fingers on my skin increased while she turned around in terror: "It doesn’t matter... you don’t have time. You must hurry."

"What? I didn’t understand!" I asked her, feeling a coldness coursing down my spine.

She said in a voice like a hiss: "You are escaping today, Julie."

For a moment, I felt the ground swaying beneath me, as if I had fallen into a sudden dream.

I blinked several times while looking at her hand clinging to me: "Sarah... is this real?"

She didn’t give me a chance to think; instead, she pulled me by my hand violently toward the door: "Yes... let’s go!"

We went out to the hallway, and my whole body was shaking from the intensity of the tension. We reached the massive door that opens with a password; I saw her fingers pressing the letters with a frantic speed, and suddenly, the "click" of the electronic lock was heard and the door opened.

I froze in my place in bewilderment: "Sarah... what is happening? How did you know the password?"

She said while pushing me forward with a tensed body: "I pulled the talk out of Mr. Robert and stole the key... go, go, go!"

I looked toward the elevator leading to the restaurant, feeling a terror gnawing at my insides: "But there are guards and people in the restaurant, and they will surely stop me!"

Sarah shook her head with impatience while pushing me even harder: "There is no one; they are on break... go now!"

I couldn’t control myself; I threw myself into her arms and hugged her tightly, feeling tears of joy and awe wetting my cheeks: "Sarah... thank you so much."

Sarah pushed me away from her, her eyes flashing with a deadly concern: "Come on, Julie... you don’t have much time... go!"

I took the elevator, and then when it opened, I climbed the stairs; my breath was racing irregularly, and I felt a contraction in my chest that made my heart beat violently.

Fear was taking hold of me; what if someone caught me? What if Robert caught me? But despite all that fear, my desire to escape was greater.

The restaurant lights were off and there was no one there; this was very strange and terrifying at the same time.

I headed toward the glass and looked outside; there were no guards. Yes, just as Sarah told me they were on a break. I headed to the door and opened it, and finally, I inhaled the cold, fresh air; it wasn’t entirely fresh due to car exhaust, but it was so to me.

I expected at that moment that Robert’s shadow would extend from behind me to pull me back inside, or that a guard would catch me and return me, but none of this happened.

I stepped out of the restaurant and started running in the street, my feet hitting the pavement harshly.
