AMY POV :“This shouldn’t be what I was thinking.''I looked doubtful at Kim, he too looked slightly puzzled when he looked at the greeting card and the name on it.“Recover Soon, Miss Hood.” He read the card and his smirk turned coquettish.“Seems like Mr. Carson is totally guilty of his staff’s inhuman nature towards you.” His eyes shone in admiration for him.“This could be a formal courtesy, Kim.”Taking away the card from his hand, I tore it into two and then threw them into the dustbin indifferently.BOOM“God, sometimes, you’re just too stubborn to accept the truth that is right in front of you…” He let out a loud dramatic sigh while I remained perplexed by Mr. Carson’s changed behavior.He did good and then turned that into evil.What is he really?Good or evil?I couldn’t decipher.****THE NEXT DAY“I think I am quite good now, Kim,We could resume the shoot now.” I gave him the signal to continue but he remained in awe of Mr. Carson.“No, Mr. Carson has ordered that at least

AMY POV :“H…elp…” A futile struggle of mine to get help.With a dry throat, I couldn’t make out a word at all, but still, I tried.In the darkness, I see nothing but the cold around me has started to send shivers in my body.I am cold and dry.How many hours have gone?I’ve no idea, all I could see was the darkness of an end hole.****CLICK … CLICKI heard footsteps which made me panic but my body remained unresponsive to that fear.I couldn’t move at all.PAASomeone got slapped in the distance.“She must not die.” I heard a growl, a very familiar one. My instincts told me to run.With the hurried steps towards me somehow I couldn’t move.My stomach growled, desperate for food, my throat felt the dryness of the desert, and my eyes felt too heavy I couldn’t blink.BOOMA force pulled me up, letting my eyes open wide for a moment. With a few steps, I felt the scorching heat and the brightness of the sun.It’s daytime.BLINKWith utter difficulty, I tried to look ahead but the brightn

“Amy…” A cry of surprise didn’t stop me as I tried to get out of the place I was stuck in.“He’s here…He’s here…”I yelled in panic, The room isn’t dark but it’s spinning, or is it my head?“No one’s here, it’s me…” A voice, too close to my heart, lowered the panic.“But, he…” I gasped, looking around for any clue of Carson Dexter, The clicking of his gun jarred at the back of my head.“Stop this…Stop…”Lowering myself to the ground, I covered my ears and started to beg helplessly.Where am I?What’s happening with me??“Amy, no one is here,It’s just me…”A thick voice crossed over my head, and finally, I got the courage to look up.“Derek…”Relieved by his presence, I immediately hurled myself into his embrace. In just a moment, I broke down in his arms.Sobbing pathetically.BOO … HOO…BOO … HOO…I could hear the beating of his heart which soothed my nerves and his continuously caressed words whispering into my ear.Gradually, my panic vanished and I returned to my usual self but

AMY POV :The peace in my heart matched the peace on the man’s face beside me.Derek slept peacefully and I watched him in fascination. This man could never look dull, although I know he’s exhausted but this peace on his face, his charisma could never let his charm fall off.GOD !!I sighed in admiration while caressing his face.The scruff on his face rubbed roughly at the palm of my hand but I didn't mind, it gave me the console I needed the most.I had no idea for how long I watched him until the room started to get dark giving me the indication of the night.Pulling Derek away from me gently, I stood up to look for the switch but as I was bound with the IV in my hand I couldn’t move around much.Thinking wisely I pressed the button to call for a nurse.The moonlight fell in the room and I felt attracted towards it.Without knowing, I headed for the vast window and looked outside, as I had expected it was full moon and the moonlight created a melancholic mood that swept over all th
