The door opened unexpectedly and instantly my heart leaped into my throat from excitement and fear.
The excitement that I finally made it to my escape.
And the fear of him.
How would he react when he would find me gone the next morning?
On my tiptoes, I made my way outside, the wind was chilly, and without any slippers on my bare feet started to get cold.
Three cars parked outside, and slowly, in between them I made my way to the main door. I am too close.
Once, I will be out then…
Then what??
My steps stopped reflexively.
His threats started to occupy my mind, and then I remembered that my passport was still in his hold which means I could never leave this place, wherever I would go he would hunt me.
And what if during this hunting, something would happen to my mother??
I can’t risk my mother’s life in Derek’s obsession.
I can’t do this to her.
