Before I know what's happening, a strong hand grabs me and I'm pulled harshly into a room.
It only takes me a second to react but it's a second too late because the person's other hand clamps around my mouth just as I'm about to scream.
I attempt to scream through their hand anyway but instead of a loud noise, it's heavily muffled. I push back against the person to try and escape their hold on me. Whoever it is seems quite strong because despite my best efforts, their hold doesn't seem to falter. I find that I work better when calm and collected but right now I'm extremely panicked.
Worst case scenarios circle my head.
I feel the person behind me lean closer to me, their breath against the back of my neck.
"Shh. It's me." I hear a familiar voice say in a hushed whisper. It takes me a second but when I realise who the voice belongs to, my brows furrow. What's he doing here? "I'm letting go now so please don't scream." He says before releasing his hold on me.
I spin around and there stands the leader of the Italian mafia and the only reason I was able to escape. My friend, Blaine Sousa.
"What are you doing here, Reyna?" Blaine asks.
"What are you doing here?" I return.
"I'm here to see Anatoly. Why are you here?"
"The same reason." I state.
"You were meant to be keeping a low profile this is the complete opposite."
"Anatoly doesn't know who I am."
"What the hell are you thinking? You shouldn't be here with him. If he finds out-"
"I know. Trust me, I know. I'm already in too deep. I saved his life, I didn't know it was him and then he started showing up at my work and at my house. He likes me and I'm using that to my advantage." Even though Anatoly said he would leave me alone after one date if I wished so, his recent speech about not letting me go has lead me to believe otherwise.
"What does he know about you?" Blaine asks.
"Nothing. Only what the fake file you created has told him and the fact that I used to be a doctor. He doesn't even know about Aiyden - So far I've managed to keep them apart." I state. "I know this is extremely risky but as far as he knows I'm just another ordinary girl. I've been careful about what I say around him."
"I can't believe you're doing this." He states. "What happens if you get caught, huh? Then what?"
"I'll take Aiyden and get the hell out of here." I say. "But right now, I don't have a choice. I saved his life and by doing so I've unwillingly put myself into his life."
Blaine nods. He opens his bag and takes out a device before handing it to me and closing my hands around it.
"Take this." He says. "One click of a button and one of my planes will be here within 15 minutes. At the airport, the one you got dropped off at." He says. "Promise me, if Anatoly finds out you won't hesitate to use it."
