Chapter 45. Pretence

RAYNE'S POV

I watched him leave and I suddenly felt something break within me. I couldn't explain the reason. He had left in such a hurry and that too, like there was trouble. I could only wish that he returned safely.

This is me, three hours past evening, still staring out through the transparent glass walls. There still wasn't any sign of him. With each minute that struck by, I felt the knot in my stomach tightening. The bodyguards were still down there, all over the house, guarding it from a danger I didn't know of. I had overheard him asking one of the men in a suit to protect me at all costs, and I couldn't understand why.

Two hours more, the night had turned dark, and even though the city was fully lit up and looked as beautiful as it had the previous day, I wasn't feeling the ambiance of it. I turned to leave the glass wall and stroll into the room. I could probably retire to bed, and maybe, wait there for him. After all, we still had a movie to see together
