Chapter 23 HYPNOTIZED

NAYA’S P OV

I blinked my eyes open, yawning and stretching my arms as I gently sat up on my bed--- wait, it wasn’t my bed. My eyes widened in shock, looking around the huge room.

Huge room?

My brain started to process. I was completely worn out yesterday when I got home from my interview, and then I fell asleep without even eating anything. All of a sudden, his voice lingered in my ear whispering, ‘‘Naya…’’ I thought I was dreaming last night. I thought he was hugging me, comforting me, telling me that it was okay. I could still get a job.

I was startled when I felt an arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me back to lay down on the bed.

I remained still, my heart racing, hearing Raphael sleep soundly.
