I hurriedly jumped in the bathtub, which appeared to be clean. I dipped my entire face to avoid seeing him. Furthermore, I was still weak, so I had no intention of having sex with him. I couldn't hear anything while beneath the water, so I tried to rise, but he was gone. I cast my gaze about to see if he had gone. I simply pulled my clothes off there.
I shouldn't be spending time here and already acting to become entangled in it. Attorney and I still have a lot to speak about, and I'm afraid I'll drown in what Andrius shows if I go on.
I also didn't take long to use the bathroom and exited swiftly. I was expected to meet Andrius out, but he wasn't there, so I began looking for clothing in the paper bags he had given me. Surprisingly, he left me even though he knew I had no shackles and that there was a potential I might flee. I'm not sure why something in my heart suggests I shouldn't go and should simply stay here initially. Was it because I was accustomed to living here that I refused to leave?
When I finished getting dressed I walked slowly to the door, thinking that maybe it was locked outside, and I couldn't get out, but when I turned the doorknob I was surprised that it wasn't locked. I slowly went down the stairs. I looked around, but I didn't see any trace of Andrius, so I expect that he was gone and left. I was about to open the main door when I heard something break from above. I thought there was no one here?
I quickly hid and ran up the stairs without making a noise. I feel it would be better not to force myself to leave because Andrius might do worse next time. Maybe it's not just chaining me that he'll do next. When I was at the end of the stairs, I heard something break again in a room. I followed where the noise was coming from and saw that a door was already ajar. I swallowed and didn’t enter, I just listened to the speakers.
“So, is that true?! I thought Caroline was just blaming me but is it true?!” I don't think Andrius has any other characteristics that I don't see. I had never seen such an angry attitude of his before. Now he is like a tiger that devours a human and crushes it until there is nothing left, even a bone.
I can't tell who he's speaking to. When I attempted to glance up, I saw wheels. To avoid terror, I placed my palm over my lips. I walk right now and open this door to confront that woman. This wheelchair's owner is someone I know. She is the person responsible for my daughter's death! Even if she talked more and clarified that she had nothing to do with what happened, she became a means for that woman to be upset with me! I have avoided her son, but her son is trying to invade my life!
“ANDRIUS! DO NOT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!” They fight with a strong tone of voice. My eardrums feel like they're about to rupture. I just stand in front of the door and listen to what they were saying.
“What about me, Mom? Because you're unhappy, you want me to be miserable as well, is that what you want?” Andrius' voice sounded as though he was whimpering. I was little more than a stump in front of the door. "How come I want to be happy, but you stop me?”
Everyone became silent as I heard him slap the desk. It was just a matter of time until Reya spoke a word. Mentioning her name is lethal. I don't even want to tell her name because I feel like she's poison. I'm not sure whether I can forgive her for everything she's done.
“But isn't your name the reason so many people died in Caroline's area? We got through that crime before, so this little thing can easily turn people and police around—”
I didn't let her finish speaking because I didn't want to hear anything more from her mouth. Her tongue was about to burn with her evil and rotting personality. I don’t want to believe Attorney because even though a lot of things have happened to Andrius and me that isn’t good, I still believe in him but to hear it from his mother. Looks like I made a mistake.
I opened the door and saw Andrius's cold and manly eyes while his mother was bored looking at me. Even my face seemed to be nothing to her. With the amount maybe this person killed, it seems like I’m just an ant compared to them. She did not react. I looked at Andrius who opened his mouth but then closed it again.
I smiled at him first before I spoke, I walked up to his front. Ignoring his mother, looking at me. Reya was still staring, even though she knew that the person they were harassing was in front of them.
I gave him a loud slap. “That is why you are imprisoning me here to hide the truth from me. That's why you chained me because you are afraid of the possibilities that I can do, even if I am just a piece of ground that you are treading on.” I nodded as if I was getting everything, but the woman suddenly answered.
“You don't know anything—”
I was not scared or shaken by what she said. If that's true, I'm ready for what I can face. If that's what she resolves to get revenge on her son, that's fine. I just know that I have avenged my daughter, Stanley, and my parents. Even if that is not enough, taking the life of a person who has taken many lives is enough.
I immediately hailed a taxi. I don’t know where I’m going. I can't go back to where Stanley's mansion is because I know a lot of cops are there now. I am not allowed to go back anywhere because I know that wherever I go they will follow me.
“Take me to the farthest part of Turkey.” Nothing of my own told the driver. I had no idea where I was going. I just hope he does what I say. I also don't know what my life will be like now. I don't know where to find Attorney.
“Miss, I'll take you on what you're saying, but I just wanted to ask if you know the people behind us.” I looked in the driver's mirror, then looked from behind us. There was a black car following us, but since many more cars were passing by I wasn't convinced if that car was following us.
“Turn the car where there are no passing cars,” I instructed the driver, and he followed what I told him. As we turned, I could see the highlands. It's almost up to where I can see the sea.
I looked to see if it was still following us but when I noticed it was gone I would have gone back to sitting, but I saw the car again. My eyes widened because it was going somewhere, seas and high rocks could be seen here.
“Speed up the speed, brother,” I instruct again. He did so without hesitation, but the car behind us also accelerated.
When I opened the window to peek, I saw someone pull out a gun and point it at the wheel of the taxi.
