(Author's POV)
*Nearly seven months later*
"SIR, WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? YOU COULD HAVE SAVED ME~ …. AND~ …. MY DAUGHTER, YOU MONSTER. YOU ARE A MONSTER. YOU ARE A MONSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR."
"Garry~ …. honey~ …. Wake up. GARRY~~~" Diana's voice echoed in the room as she tried to wake him up.
Garry woke up with a start, panting heavily. His back slick with cold sweat. His hands clamped tightly. He glanced at his surroundings in a daze. Once he realized he was in his bedroom, beside his wife, in Damona, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Diana, still worried sick, asked, "Honey, were you having sleep paralysis? You kept mumbling in your sleep…. asking to save someone and calling yourself a monster. Is everything okay with you?"
Garry nodded hesitantly, "I am fine. Just some work stress. Don't worry about it," he tried to reassure her.
"Are you sure? You are not hiding anything from me?" Diana stared at him with narrowed eyes. "If there's anything, you can tell me."
