My eyes fluttered open, the white ceiling came into view. ’I can’t believe I had the worst dream ever,’ I thought inwardly, silently thanking God that I was awake.
The softness and warmth of the mattress made me want to cuddle back to sleep. But first, I have to look for my mom, that lady gets worried about every single thing.
The room wasn’t large, but it was okay and cozy. Not seeing Samantha and others reinforced my belief that it was a dream.
I rose up from the bed, I groaned as pain shot through my back.
My body went still when a man with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes open the door and walked into the room. My brows furrowed deeply, everything about him screamed power... violence... and lust.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" My voice trembled, I dragged myself further inside the bed.
His gaze bored into me, then he scoffed. "You think you can run away from me, Ember? How does it feel now that you are reduced to nothing but a breeder?" he said with a smug on his face.
My heart skittered in my chest. My eyes blinked several times, unable to focus, I couldn’t bring myself to believe this was real after all.
Maybe if I explained myself, or maybe if I stayed calm, then he might realize he’d got the wrong girl.
