Chapter 25: My First Step Towards Darius

Thinking about what I have to do makes my heart thump for the wrong reasons.

If he finds out that I am lying, he will definitely do away with Rosemary.

I turn my gaze to her and watch as she sleeps as comfortably as she can.

I can't mess this up, I have to do this, give it my all.

Because this isn't just about my acquired taste for revenge, but for her too.

I brought her into this mess, I have to get her out of it.

I promise I will protect her, and everyone I love from this point on.

The sun rises at the side of my eye after six hours.

I tried to, but failed miserably at falling asleep time and time again.

My heart wouldn't stop beating, and my nerves wouldn't stop wracking.

I have never felt anything like this before,

It feels like moments in my life when I had done something wrong to father, and I would wait in anticipation for when he will find out, and punish me for it.

Except, this is worse, way worse.
