Chapter 53 Trust
I stared around; it was so dark that I could hear the voices of the guards coming from outside, and it didn’t seem good.
“Don’t move.”
“I need to turn on the lamp, it runs without power.“ I stated as I reached toward it, I turned on the light and now I could see
I am glad papa got this for me, it was during a war and the lights of the house went off because of a heavy rain that fell, and it destroyed most of the things, we would not turn on the gen because the wire got damaged by the rain and papa didn’t what me to be scared, though it lasted for only one thing.
“What’s happening?” I asked when he placed his hand over my mouth, I didn’t utter any word, all I did was stare at him, waiting bf of him to tell me why he didn’t want me to speak.
The fear that was in my heart, only increased, I felt like, I even felt more worse than I could imagine, my mind was filled with thoughts, and soon I didn’t hear the footsteps of the guards again and I know there is nothing good about that.
“I think someone tampered with this, someone is trying to get into the house, the lights don’t just go off, it never does unless there is rain or a storm.” He stated and I nodded
I knew that after that happened, Papa made sure there are measures were taken when that happens. We will still have light in the house no matter what happens.
Someone is in my house, someone is trying to get to us, they have to be very smart to be able to break into Papa’s security system, they have to be very smart to be able to have an idea of what is happening, and how they could even do it.
It takes days, or maybe even weeks, and we didn’t even notice some was trying to do that.
Adrian pulled his hand away from my lips when he placed his fingers on his lips. He moved out of the bed and undid the same.
If not for my light, I would not have been able to see what was happening.
“We need to leave right now, if we can’t hear the guard that can’t be good, something happened, something I am not sure about and I need to know what it is.” He said and I nodded
I watched as he headed toward the door and I followed him from behind, every movement he took, sent chills down my spine it only made me even more scared, it made me even more worried and I felt like I was about to lose my mind.
“We need to get to the home office or Papa’s room, there are guns there we can make use of,” I stated.
“Follow me and don’t let go of my hand.” He said and I nodded
I would prefer if we head to Papa’s room, it’s close to mine and it’s easy, the moment we opened the door, I heard a loud noise like a gunshot and He instantly closed the door before he covered my mouth, the screams that escaped, it was enough to make the whole house go into chaos.
How could they see through the dark, how did they even get into the house so fast, they can’t have killed all of the guards, it’s not possible, I didn’t hear any gunshots earlier and it even scared me that they could murder all of the guards at the same time.

“Elara are you okay?” Adrian asked as more tears fell against my cheek, my breath hitches as I stared at him and my mind filled with thoughts.
“How did this happen, how were they able to. We could have gotten killed, they know we are in where Adrian and it can’t be good, this is bad.” I breathed out.
“Breathe with me.” He said and I shook my head, I didn’t want to breathe. I almost got shot, I wanted not to think about this, I wanted to be out of here, I wanted to be safe,
If we were too fast, we would have been dead, if we were not careful, it would have been over for all of us, it would have been sad, and I hated the thought of that.
“We are trapped, we are going to get killed, we don’t even have anything to defend ourselves, what are we going to do?” I breathed out.
“Look at me Elara, we are going to be fine, they are not in the house yet, at least not all of them, just a few of them and right now I need to know that you trust me and you will do as I say, you will not ask any questions, you will not fight with me, you will not yell or scream because I need to get us out of here.” He said and I nodded.
“So tell me.”
“What?”
“Tell me you trust me Elara because that's how this is ever going to work, if you trust me.”
Did I trust him? I didn’t, he was lying to me when this happened, feeding me with lies about how perfect his family was and but right now I can’t die, I need to live for myself for my papa, I cannot be dead, I need to find my papa's killer and I need to make them pay, I have to amor sure they regret what they have done mad I need to remain alive to protect his mafia.
“I trust you.” I breathed out, at least for my safety. I did trust him, and I knew that he would take me out of here. He needed to take me to a safe place, a place where I knew nothing would happen to me.
“Then believe me when I say, we will get out of this.”
