I continued running away from the mansion until I heard heavy footsteps following me. I looked back while still running as fast as I could and my heart almost jumped out of my ribcage after seeing Klay and his men running after me.
“KELLY!”
My lips trembled. No! No! I can’t be caught here!
“COME BACK HERE, KELLY!”
No! I shook my head as I continued running. I can feel and hear them getting near and it’s scaring me even more. I don’t wanna go back there! I will do everything to escape tonight and I will not give up.
“KELLY!”
Klay is almost near and just when I’m about to give up, a red sports car came and stopped in front of me. My eyes widened when the door opened. I saw hope and without thinking twice, I slipped myself inside the sports car when I’m not even sure who’s the person who helped me.
“KELLY!” That’s the loudest scream I heard tonight.
I was panting as the car almost flew in the air. I looked back and saw Klay standing in the middle of the road. His eyes were sharp and I felt like he’s looking straight into my eyes.
My eyes pooled with tears again. This time because of relief.
Someone handed me a handkerchief and when I looked at the driver seat, I was shocked after seeing the woman I haven’t seen for a while. She disappeared after she visited me in my flower shop, telling me to call my father. She was the one who gave me a hint about the condition of my father and she’s here again, helping me.
“Emily…”
She glanced at me and raised an eyebrow. “The one and only.”
“But…I mean…” I couldn’t finish my sentence. I don’t know what to say. In the end, I asked a question I’m not sure if she’s willing to answer, “Why?”
The corner of her lips rose and she glanced at me again. “The answer is simple but I won’t tell you for
now.”

I stared at her. The speed of her car is now normal and I found myself calming down. In spite of the fact that I’m irritated at her before, I’m still thankful that she came tonight and saved me.
“Thank you.”
“It’s too early to thank me, Kelly. You’re still under Klay’s claws.”
I stared at Emily. I remember her past with Klay. They had a relationship but unlike Amanda, she’s not
really violent.
She smirked and glanced at me again. “What? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me. I can’t entertain you.
I like dicks.”
“You love Klay, right?” I asked, ignoring her vulgar words.
Her expression instantly changed after that. Her eyes went blank as she parked the car in front of a
two story abandoned building with a car inside.
“We need to change cars.”
“Huh?”
I followed her as she walked towards a white old car. She looked at me. “Don’t worry. Someone I trust will come to get this car to lure Klay. They won’t catch us.”
I stared at her because I didn’t know what to say. She opened the door of the driver seat and looked at
me again. “What? You won’t come?”
I immediately rushed towards the passenger/seat and slipped myself inside. Emily immediately started the engine and drove off. I looked back when I saw a silhouette of a man walking towards the
sports car we left.
My forehead creased. The silhouette seemed familiar.
“I don’t have feelings for Klay.” Emily stole my attention again because of what she said.
“You don’t have feelings for him?”
“Contrary to what you believed, hate him.”
I tilted my head, confused. “But…why did you…”
“Agreed to be his bed warmer?” She smirked and glanced at me. “He’s excellent in bed. What else? I bet you already know that.“,

I bit my bottom lip and looked away. I heard her chuckle.
“Where are we going?” I asked curiously as I realized we’re leaving the city.
“To the place where no one will recognize you and Klay’s radar won’t reach.”
“And where is that place?”
She glanced at me. “Relax. I’m not your enemy, Kelly. Although we aren’t friends either.”
.
A deafening silence filled us after that. I was just staring at the road while Emily continued driving silently. I rested my head against the window when I heard Emily sighed.
“I didn’t know Klay would do this. He disappointed me.”
I looked at her because of that. “What do you mean?”
She smirked but I saw bitterness in it.

“I thought he’s on my side. He was a lone wolf on the road when I met him, Kelly. I thought he’s my ally but it turned out he just needed me for his own benefit. He’s indeed a devil.”
“He is,” I said without even thinking twice.
Emily chuckled. “You should learn to put yourself on top of your priorities, Kelly. That’s what I’ve learned from my past.”
“You must have a painful past.”
She shrugged her shoulders. “You can say that. That’s why I’m enjoying seeing Klay suffer. I want him tormented. Only you can do that since you’re important to him.”
I stared at her. “Do you think he really loves me?”
I saw the corner of her lips rise. “Why? You’re willing to forgive him?”
“No,” I answered with a creased forehead. “I just wanna make sure that he treasures me enough so he won’t hurt my dad.”
“He must’ve warned you about hurting your father if you disobey him.”
I nodded and pressed my lips together.
She smiled and shook her head. “Klay won’t hurt you more by hurting your father physically, Kelly. But I know he will torment your father by taking everything he treasures.”

“The company…” I whispered as I looked down.
“And you,” Emily added, making me look at her.

Silence reigns us again after that. I just stared at the road until I fell asleep without realizing and when I woke up, Emily was parking the car in front of a two story house with a huge backyard. My lips parted after I saw many trees around the area and the location seemed far from the city.
“Where are we?” I asked Emily while she’s taking her seatbelt off.
She looked at me and smirked. “Welcome to my safe house.”
