CHAPTER 89

  Elizabeth's Point Of View

  When I open my eyes, I'm sure I'm died.

  And surprisingly enough, it seems as though I'm in heaven. The mattress under me in like a cloud, the sheets covering me are stain soft. The room is beautiful and white and a bit hazy.

  Then pain kicks in.

  I'm alive alright and the pain radiating from where the bullet had hit me tells me it hasn't been long since I almost died.

  My mind clears, the room comes into focus. Panic and confusion race through my head. How am I still alive?

  Where am I? Where's Sebastian?

  With herculean effort, I heave myself up into a sitting position. The room looks like a five star hotel's master suite.

  The canopy ceiling is high above, decorated with an illustration of star constellations. The east wall is practically covered by windows, the curtains drawn over their silhouette. There are two doors, one near the huge bed, the other at the far corner.
