CHAPTER NINETEEN

ELISE

Goosebumps collided against my shivering skin and I pulled the blanket up until it smacked into my chin. I sprawled my legs across the crisp sheets and looked around.

I was in his bedroom.

I was in his bed.

I was in my hot-as-hell and completely off limits shrink’s bed. I couldn’t stop myself from getting into these bizarre situations. My life kept getting weirder and weirder.

I blew out a breath and stared up at the ceiling. Warmth replaced the goosebumps when I realized how comfortable I was laying there. I felt like his bed is where I belonged.

I lifted up to look around the room more. It was large and the king size bed took up the majority of the space. A big-screen TV hung directly across from me and over a dresser covered with framed photos and bottles of cologne.

My mind began to run on full speed as I slouched back down. I wasn’t sure what time it was or how long I’d been sleeping. All I cared about was the fear now pulsating against my veins as I wondered what was in store for me. He’d find me. I had no doubt. He’d be out scouring the streets until he had me back. My dad would kill me or anyone else before he’d let me out of his grasp.

So my new goal was to disappear. I had some cash in my bag, and I was sure Weston would help me. I needed to start a new life, get a new identity, one where I wouldn’t be sold out for business deals. I wanted freedom. I was in the driver’s seat now. I was the one in control; at least that’s what I wanted to think.

I scrubbed at my arm and felt the tenderness from his strong grip last night. I wanted to erase his touch. I wanted to trick my mind to forgetting last night, but every time I told them to go to hell they came back more vividly, like my mind was against me. I tried to convince myself he would’ve stopped, but I knew better. The look on his face told me there was no stopping him.

He’d wanted to hurt me. He’d wanted to transfer the pain eating at him to me. That’s what he’d been doing my entire life. He hungered to scar me the same way she’d scarred him. He was taking his resentment for her out on me because I was her living shadow. I’d always be a memory of what he’d lost and what she’d put him through.

The bed sunk down when I slammed my arms down to my sides. “I fucking hate him!” I screeched. “I fucking hate him!” I knotted my fists together into tiny balls and swung them back onto the bed. My anger over took me and I grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on. The pillow hurled across the room and smacked into the wall. I shook my head, screaming at the ceiling as my lungs fired up and kicked my feet.
