Chapter 33

His voice felt like my heart had been ripped out from my chest. Surely he stole the phone from Quinn just to speak to me.

“Nile…” I resisted a sob while calling his name. The only name that has been crossing my mind crazily.

“Tell me where you are.” I could feel he was gritting his teeth as he spoke. He was controlling his rage. I could even imagine him clenching his fist.

“I…” I breathed shakily. My hands and body were trembling. “I will send my location. I’m going to turn off the phone after that. This isn’t mine, Nile. I only stole it so I can’t keep in touch with you. It will only risk my location.” A sob almost broke out as I spoke but I held it in.

“Got it. Wait for me, alright? Stay there and don’t move.” His voice was firm, reassuring me.

I nodded but forgot that he couldn’t see me. “Okay.” I croaked but I hoped he didn’t recognize my cry.
