Autumn is beautiful here- in the middle of nowhere. The breeze is a bit cold though.
The breeze gets colder when someone's watching you.
There's eleven of us living in White Halo Manor. Day in, day out, we live the same day, every day, in glorious harmony.
They provide for us, the protectors, as long as we follow three simple rules.
Do not leave
Do not step foot onto the third floor
Do not communicate with the outside world
Or we get hunted. It's pretty simple.
They say it's because we're part of the witness protection programme. There are five. Four men and one woman. But we've never seen any of their faces- and god forbid we do because it would only mean one thing. Death.
We dream of what's beyond the metal gates. I did too, until him.
He's a protector and he's obsessed with me. Too obsessed to let me out of his sight. Too obsessed to kill me when I venture too far.
My name is Zoya Yadav and I'm part of the witness protection programme.
SIDE NOTE: this book is a duet, but is compiled into one wattpad book. It will be/is HEA. It's going to be dark with lots of toxicity. So if you like that, then, by all means, continue.
