The Veiled Hearts

🌹Climb for Bedroom 🔪

Ohhh god!!! No, no, no, noo!!! How many feet is this? 15? 20? I think 30 feet... or maybe more. Don't look down, Vanya. Don't you dare look down. Focus.

Wait. Hold on! Why am I even doing this? I could have taken the stairs, for God's sake. Why am I clinging to these stupid pipes? Ugh! But then my heart made a valid point to my brain. What if that prideful CEO doesn't open the door? Worse-what if someone sees me at 2 AM knocking on the door of their engaged son?

Damn it! He's still engaged, and here I am, climbing pipes like a lunatic for an engaged man! AAAAHHHH!!! My leg slipped, and these stupid blisters-if it weren't for them, I would've made it in five minutes.

Phew! Finally! I made it to the third floor. But now... which one is his room? The dim light one, I guess. The rest of the rooms have their lights off, and the balcony doors are all closed.

It must be the dim light one, and if not... well, I better be prepared for jail. Just another thriller in my list today, after the temple and kidnapping saga. Great.

I took a deep breath and jumped into the balcony. Thud. The loud sound echoed through the quiet night as my foot hit the floor, and I froze immediately. What if he's asleep? Wait... his hands. They were red, and they definitely weren't like that when he was downstairs earlier. He hurt himself? But why is there so much silence?

This is his bedroom, right?

I tiptoed inside, the room swallowed in darkness, my heart beating erratically in my chest.
