Accidental Love 17. Sarah: Haunted
Sarah’s Point of view: The encounter made me tense. I had so many questions. What did Alex want? Why was he stalking me? Was he trying to intimidate me or was there something more sinister at play? As we drove away from the apartment, these questions swirled in my mind, making it hard to focus on the present moment. Ethan's concerned gaze and gentle touch only added to the turmoil inside me. Ethan noticed my inner turmoil and reached out to put a comforting hand on my knee. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice soft with concern. I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. I didn't want to burden him with my problems, so I just shook my head and said, "Nothing. Let's just go." Ethan nodded, but I could tell he didn't believe me.

He grabbed me, his fingers digging into my arms like vice grips. Alex's presence seemed to mock the very essence of this sanctuary. "Welcome home, Sarah," he whispered. I felt a chill run down my spine as he gripped my arms, his fingers digging deep into my skin. How did he get in? What did he want? And how could I escape? I struggled to break free

"Emma Russell, 28 years old, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law. She's currently working at a top-tier law firm in the city.
