I paced the length of the lounge, my bare feet brushing against the cool floor. My phone lay silent on the center table, mocking my red less mind.

It had been hours since Maxumus left, and I had been waiting for a call, unsure of what to expect.

The silence that surrounded me fell suffocating, wrapping itself around my chest like an invisible chain

I hated feeling this way–unsure, vulnerable, out of control,

But somewhere beneath the layers of my anxiety, a quiet voice whispered that I shouldn’t be this restless.

Jessie took advantage of that little moment of comfort and Ladded. “Step doubting him. He is trying to make it up to you.

He had stood here before..

The memory slipped into my mind on its own, bear as the day I first noticed hum standing there.

Maximus loved to stand in this same spot with his tall frame, and straight back. He watched the city lights and the world that was spread beneath

his feet

I used to wonder what he saw, what held his attention for hours at a time. At first, I wanted to tell myself he relished the feel of being so high up in

the air.

But then. I sensed a certain melancholy radiating off him. I could clearly understand that feeling.

Loneliness

That was what I saw in him sometimes–a deep, unbearable loneliness that flickered in his eyes when he thought no one was watching.

And despite everything between us, despite the mess of borids and betrayals and shattered trust, it made me want to tell him he was not alone. That someone saw him. That—I could see right through him at times when he thought I was not watching

I cursed under my breath and pressed my eyes shut. I was a fool for even thinking like this, thinking about him.

I had been so busy with this mess that I had not even asked him about his mother or focused on my real goal of regaining my freedom.

The thought had barely settled when a strange semnation prickled at the back of my neck. My muscles stiffened, every nerve on high alen. The air

around me felt wrong –Heavy

I turned slowly, my senses searching for the source of the disturbance, but before I could make sense of it, a thick fog began pouring from the

central air vents

I froze, the realization striking one too late. The air was popan.

I dropped to my knees, the cold floor hating into my skin as my head sun. What was happening!

Fear twisted in my chest, and suffocated in, but I gritted my teeth and tried to push myself up. My artis trembled under my weight, and I collapsed back onto rar floor, my body too weak to obey,

Memories surfaced again—llashes of the accident that made me feel helplessness for the first time:

Now it was the same helplessness, the same suffocating pain, the same fight to stay conscious as my body betrayed me.

These people—they knew they could only do as they pleased after making me incapable of fighting back.

The men parted, their movements calculated and cold, and two figures stepped forward,
