Chapter 42

ADRIANA

After Xander left, it took me about five minutes to actually comprehend what the hell happened. I expected him to be hostile as usual, or maybe command me and do worse things that he hasn't gotten to do before he decided to lock me away. I was still waiting for it, even after he left the room. He never came back though. That didn't make me feel any safer than when he was in the room, I didn't think I'd ever feel that again in his presence. Then I couldn't close the door, it was a war between two parts of me that were both scared.

Closing the door made me feel like I would be locked back in again, I was scared of leaving the door open too because it gave both him and Donovan easy access to it. The fear I had for the latter was more than that of the former.

As promised, the maids brought in a food cart that had different foods. My stomach churned just from the aroma, I was salivating by the time the roast beef was kept in front of me.
