Marona's POV
I blinked open my eyes and found myself in bed, after blinking for a moment and looking around I realised what happened with me.
I sat up and rubbed my face. God! I made a fool of myself in front of Mikhail. Now he knows that I am still terrified of him and he will do anything to use it against me. Why couldn't I just control my feelings for a few minutes?
I need to do something about anxiety attacks when I see him but what?
Whenever he comes in front of me, I feel blank. Nothing works, my mind feels trapped.The maid entered inside with food and I looked at her blankly. Damn, I am missing Della. I need someone to hear me out.
I hate this loneliness.
"Where is he?"
I asked her as she was about to leave."He went for a meeting!"
She informed me while standing in front of me."And Laurence?"
I asked again.She looked at me confused and flabbergasted.
"I thought you asked about Mr. Laurence first... He went for a meeting."
She mumbled confused.
"About whom you were asking?"I closed my eyes in regret.
"No one, thanks!"
She left when I dismissed her.Why does this man engulf my mind like this? Why Mikhail?
I hugged the pillow to distract from the loneliness. Why Laurence left me alone, I need him now. Especially when Mikhail is under the same roof.I still remember how brutally he played with me.
Flashback...
It was early morning and I had already reached the college, I used to stay nearby so I was often the first one to reach for a class.
"Good morning, Uncle"
I smiled at the security guard. We have become friends as he always sees me coming first.That day when I was crossing hallways, something caught my attention. There were slight movements in the lab. It was morning and it was weird for someone to be in the lab this early.
I shouldn't have done it when no one was around but I curiously opened the door and froze in my place.
There was a dead body of a girl laying on the floor, covered in blood and wounds. The whole classroom was covered in blood.
I wasn't naive to not understand what had happened to her. Lack of clothes on her body tell the horror story of her last night.
"Jenna?"
I gasped as books fell from my hands. She was our senior and was so intelligent, why would someone do this to her.There was a young man who was kneeling beside her, carefully watching her dead body. His eyes slowly travelled towards me from the body and he frowned.
"Run if you don't want to end up like her."
Mikhail warned.I turned on heels and ran as fast as I could, I had no idea where I was running but somehow I reached the security guard.
"Uncle, he killed Jenna..."
I panicked as I trembled in shock and fear.
"I saw him... Lab, blood, Jenna..."
I couldn't understand how to explain him."What?"
He quickly got up and rushed towards the lap, I followed him.He was equally shocked as me when he saw her dead body but Mikhail was gone.
"Jesus! I need to inform everyone."After that the news got spread and I was called by the campus authorities and police officers.
"Sir, I saw Mikhail Delgado in the lab with Jenna's dead body... He even threatened me to run away."
I gave my statement to them.I thought after that he would be arrested but I was never so wrong in my entire life. Suddenly everyone was trying to prove that there was no dead body, Jenna isn't murdered but has escaped from there because she was involved in drugs.
I wasn't ready to believe it because I had seen that with my own eyes. They all tried to hide it.
