Chapter 118 : The Mystery Remains

Sara

I blew out a frustrated breath as I lay on my back and stared up at the ceiling, feeling bored to death as usual. Antonio had kept his word and brought me books that I liked, but I couldn't focus. I kept thinking about Jaxon–I missed him terribly and I wanted to be with him again.

I also hated being trapped and locked away in a tower like some fairytale princess. The longer I stayed here, the harder it was to reconcile the Antonio I'd prepared for and the Antonio that I dealt with every day. He seemed much more… civilized than I had imagined him to be.

It honestly scared me.

I hadn't seen anyone other than Antonio since our shared dinner the night before. My thoughts of turning someone had faded pretty fast. I was now racking my brain to come up with another way to help Jaxon from my end. The last thing I wanted to do was keep sitting around and waiting to be rescued.
