Chapter 19: I chose to leave

LAILA POV

"Are you sure you want to go there?"

Brian's eyes widen in shock when he heard my request to change the place to drop me off.

"Don't worry I can handle it. Besides, I know this day will happen anyway. I can't keep running away from them." I said to him.

"If you say so." just then his phone rings. He stopped the car for a while to see who the caller is. "What?"

The expression on his face seems unsure. He sighed a lot and I can't help but feel uneasy as well.

"Fine. Do what else you can and report to me as soon as possible." after that, he turned and looked at me. "Laila, it seems like someone is out to get you."

"What do you mean," I asked.

"Seems like the same person who put your friend in jail is the same person behind that article though I don't know why."

"I might," I recall what Henry had told me before and what Brian had commented earlier.
