Avery's POV:
I woke up disoriented in an unfamiliar room. Fragments of my engagement party flashed through my mind.
Had I been kidnapped by one of my dad's rivals? I wondered. My phone was nowhere to be found.
The room had a faint familiar scent. My engagement dress was torn and stained. I stood up, surveying my surroundings.
The wardrobe was filled with men's clothes. "Whose room is this?" I asked myself.
The person really knows fashion, I said.
I grabbed a hoodie and put it on; it was oversized but barely reached my thighs.
I tied my hair into a messy bun and headed downstairs.
Familiar voices eased my tension. Linder's voice called out as I descended. "Avery, you're up!" She rushed to me.
Two men turned my way: my boss and his friend who had rescued us. I sank into a plush couch.
Sir Xander's gaze locked onto mine, his expression unreadable. I blushed.
"How are you doing? Linder questioned. "I'm great", I replied.
"What happened?" I asked Linder.
"We saved you from getting engaged to that monster," she replied.
My dad would kill me this time, I sighed. My mom and sister will be so worried, I said as a tear escaped from my eyes.
"You don't have to worry about your dad," Sir Xander said. "You're safe here with us."
"Does that mean I won't go home again?" I asked.
"Exactly," Sir Xander replied.
"You'll stay right here... with me."
