Chapter 68: Catching The Man In Strawberry Shorts
(Arata)
The thought that Azul could be the one to have sent me that note had crossed my mind but then I remembered I was the one who started randomly following him and not the other way round.
He didn’t seem like someone who had time to stalk people. From his videos, I found him to be a harmless man, trying to sate the thirsty audience on the internet. I was sure he spent his entire free time in the gym, grooming his body and riding that heavy bike.
Besides, a woman’s intuition is hardly wrong and I got this secure feeling from him. Sleeping in his arms soothed me, and I felt no negative energy coming from him.
On the other hand, the person who had sent me a note seemed like someone from my parents’ past and could be from mine as well. A part of my memories seemed to be missing after the incident and my parents never elaborated on it or spoke about it much.
After handing over Karsten my strawberry shorts, my mood had lightened. I couldn’t help but picture his ass in them.
Removing my wig, I climbed into bed and laid down. The whole day raced in my brain and that bloody note spiked my pulse. If Mom or Baba would come to know of it, they would take me away and this newly found freedom where I was independent to make my life choice would be snatched away.
Even Stella and Zaylen wouldn’t be on my side and would tell me to return to Angel City. So I knew if there was anyone I could speak to without getting judged, it was Azul.
So, as usual, after our typical bitching about Karsten, I briefly told him what had happened, ensuring I didn’t include any critical details.
His response was instant.
{I am sorry to hear that you had to go through such an ordeal. Are you doing ok? Did you notify the Police? This shouldn’t be taken lightly. I am glad your boss is staying with you. Do you feel safe with him there?}
