ELARA~
I escaped Isla's manipulative control, only to sink right into another.
It made me wonder if I ever had a life I could claim I once controlled.
I had so many questions to ask her. If she knew where I was back then… I sat up on the bed, trying hard not to think of her.
I swallowed, my eyes locked on my phone sitting by my bed stand. My gaze wandered to the digital clock before I fell back against the mattress.
Thirty-one hours since she saw my text.
You put a tracker on me—
Of course she must have known that. I closed my eyes. I was sexually attracted to her at first, then madly obsessed with a life she wouldn't talk about and which I never pushed her on.
I couldn't blame this feeling on lust. And not on love, either. I was meant to hate this woman. Just how long had she been watching me?
…Bethel Neil. Xavier Roux. Kenji Roux. Do you really think all those falls from grace were accidents? Chris?
