He hastily pulled out his car keys as we headed into the parking lot.

“We don’t have time! He raised his voice, startling me, but not enough to make me flinch. He lowered his tone. Til explain on the way but please just trust me?
I closed my eyes tight. I didn’t want to leave with him, to be reminded of a past that haunted me but I didn’t want to risk my life either, if he truly knew something, then it was the better option to go with him.
Reluctantly, I stepped into the passenger seat. My breath seized when he leaned over me, to secure me in the seatbelt. I wasn’t sure why.
He hurried to the driver’s side and hit the acceleration pedal, driving us out of there at an insane speed.
“Will you finally tell me what’s going on?”
“What did you do Leah His deep voice asked in a commanding tone, “what have you been up to? Why is someone after

“None of these concern you, drop me off at the Estate gate, I’ll call Max,” I said, reaching into my purse for my phone, “The will take things from there.”
I let out a gasp when he snatched my phone from my grip, slightly focusing on the road, while turning it off, “you can’t, you can’t use your phone. It might be tracked.”
“What?! What the fucking hell is going on?!”
I noticed his grip around the wheel tighten as he sped through the road. We were starting to drive beyond familiar places I recognised and soon enough, there were no cars left on the road with us, miles of grassland on both sides of the road.
That’s when I realised I knew nothing about this man except how much he hated me, if he was taking me somewhere to have me delivered to killers, I would literally not know.
Thinking about it, no one had a motive for my death except his family.
“If you’re “I started but was unable to finish, his knuckles were white and his veins seemed like they were about to pop. He seemed to be trying his best to stay strong. That was when I noticed it, the blood slowly soaking up his white shirt, it was the same spot he’d been shot last week.
“Pull over,” I stated in a shock tone, almost leaving my seat until the seat belt restricted me.
Instead, he increased his speed.
“Fucking pull over!” I raised my voice this time, my eyes widening at the blood staining his shirt.
“Not now,” he said through gritted teeth, “we are almost there.”
“Have you lost your fucking mind?! Where are we going?”
But he didn’t stop.
Neil continued to drive, finally halting in the middle of nowhere. He stopped the car, taking controlled breaths. As if to worsen things, there was an instant drizzle from the skies.

He leaned over to help me out of my seatbelt before unstrapping himself.
“Where on earth are we?” I looked around me, we were surrounded by nothing but trees for miles, the sound of birds chirping and the drumm of rain on the leaves
“Where is this?” I snapped, “you’re fucking hurt, and now it’s raining, where have you brought me to and-”
He cut me off, slinging one arm around my shoulder to support his weight. With his other hand, he pointed to the distance. in front of us, “there’s a cabin over there, I have a first aid kit,” it felt like he was breathing every word with how many slight gasps for air he seemed to be taking every second.
“We have to go there,” he said in a low voice before turning to meet my gaze, no one will be able to hurt you there, I’ll be by
your side.”
