Book 4: There’s No One but You

Sydney's POV

I waited for Killian to return and update me about the phone call. It had been five minutes since he had gone out. What was taking him so long? Unable to control the feeling of dread, I sat up and scrolled through my phone. 

The door opened, and Killian returned with a scowl on his face.

“What happened? Why did the SAPS team call you? Have they found me?” I waited anxiously for his reply.

He stormed into the closet instead of answering me. “We’re leaving in five minutes. Hurry.” 

Panic clutched at my heart, and I sprang from the bed and rushed over to the closet. Thankfully, my stuff was all packed up since I hadn’t unpacked after returning from the staff quarters. 

“I’ll just change. Do you need help?” I picked up a fresh set of clothes to change into. 

“No.” He stuffed his belongings into his trolley case haphazardly. It made me panic more. What could have happened? Why was he rushing?
