Later that evening, after a long nap, I walk about the large room at a leisurely pace as I begin to build my endurance.
It feels good to be clean, but Iâm still disheartened that none of the bathroom windows were able to open. I tell myself not to dwell on it and to focus on finding another way to escape.
Which is why Iâm pushing myself harder than I should, and I pause near one of the cement walls and lean against it, aggravated that Iâm already tired and needing a brief break.
Ifâno, whenâI escape, Iâm going to have to run, and since I have no idea where we are, I might have to run a while before finding someone to help me. Itâs important that I prepare myself the best that I can.
My thoughts shift to Nikolai, and my lips tighten.
Now that Iâve rested, I feel peeved with myself. When Iâd nearly fallen, and ended up in Nikolaiâs lap, Iâd felt an attraction that I should not have felt. Iâm bothered by it and annoyed with myself. Nikolai is my captor, and he still holds my life in his hands.
Attraction should be the very last thing that I feel towards him.
Yet, Iâd been strangely disappointed that it was Reed whoâd brought me my lunch earlier. I tell myself that the only reason I was hoping it was Nikolai was so that I could gather more information. My health is slowly improving, which means Nikolai is going to have to focus on what comes next. The clock is ticking, and I need to be out of here before time is up.
When I hear the basement door open, my head lifts from where Iâm standing, and I watch as Nikolai makes his way down the stairs, tray in hand.
Speaking of the devil.
Heâs still wearing the same oatmeal-colored shirt and dark jeans as earlier. At the base of the stairs, he pausesâhis expression the usual mask of indifference. He inclines his head towards the direction of the small room.
He wants me to enter first, and it dawns on me that this means the upstairs door is likely unlocked while heâs down here. I straighten from the wall and obediently walk to the small room and sit down on the bed.
Meanwhile, Iâm going to hold onto that useful bit of information, because Iâm certain it will come in handy in the future.
Nikolai hands me the tray, and I accept it, brightening when I see the juicy burger and fries. Iâve missed fast food.
As I settle more comfortably on the bed and pick up the burger, Iâm aware of Nikolai settling into the armchair, those gray orbs of his fastened on me.
Before I take a big bite of the burger, I canât resist quipping, âKill anyone this afternoon?â His profession scares me, but I donât want to show it. As I chew, I watch as he picks up the board to write.
Not personally, it reads when he reveals it to me.
Which means he has men working for him.
