Chapter 167 - Never Again
That was it. She was getting a warning for something that she didn't even know. She had no idea what was going on or who was doing this to her.
She was growing sick and tired of it. Now, all of her belongings were destroyed.
"I'm going to take this person down. I swear," Elias growled beneath his breath as he paced through the apartment.
His cold eyes darted around, searching for any other clues that were left behind.
"What do I do? I don't know what to do," Alyssa fretted as she put her hands behind her head. She looked around hopelessly.
She didn't have the energy or the time to repair her apartment. She didn't even feel safe here anymore since someone could break in so easily.
Elias stopped his angry pacing immediately and strode over to her. He took her trembling hands, giving them a comforting squeeze.
"Hey, it's okay. Let's grab some of your things, and you can stay with me for now," Elias told her.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
Alyssa looked up into his eyes, finding a sliver of comfort in his gaze. At least she wasn't here alone. There was no telling where her attacker was at.
"Okay," she said with a nod, letting him guide her into her bedroom. She watched him rummage through her closet, which had a broken door now, to find some more of her clothes.
She couldn't stop thinking about the note. She didn't even know what she needed to stop doing to not aggravate her attacker.
She wasn't sure what was going to happen between them. The tension between them grew stronger and stronger each day because they spent more time with each other.
There were so many unspoken words and missed opportunities, but Alyssa was scared of making a move on him.
What if that wasn't the best decision for either of them? She didn't even know what she wanted anymore!
What made things even more overwhelming was the constant feeling of dread that she felt any time that she left his loft.
She could hardly focus at work because she kept feeling the need to look over her shoulder to make sure that no one was sneaking up on her or following her.
She was completely paranoid, and she just felt like something bad was going to happen.
She talked to Elias, and he suggested that she take some time off of work. She agreed, believing that it was the best thing for her right now.
She hated letting her attacker derail her life so much to even scare her away from doing her job, which she loved doing, but she had to look out for herself. If she wanted her life to go back to normal, she had to stay alive.
Alyssa strode through the hospital after reporting to her boss that she needed to take some leave.
She gave herself two weeks of leave to figure everything out. Hopefully, she and Elias were able to pull that off in that amount of time. There was no telling what could happen in two weeks.
"Hey! Starting your shift?" Eva called out to Alyssa from down the hallway. She walked alongside Micah, who brightened up at the sight of Alyssa.
Alyssa shook her head as she stopped in front of them. She wished that she could be working with them right now and saving lives, but she had to look out for her own life right now.
"I'm actually going to be out for two weeks. I just need a break," she told them. They were her friends, but she couldn't tell them what she was going through right now.
She couldn't even tell Zoe, who she only spoke to over text lately because she had been so busy and overwhelmed.
"What? Why?" Eva asked, looking concerned. "Are you okay?"
