Author's POV

Marona felt hot under the bedsheets. It was too warm. She was tangled with something cozy. She used to hug her pillow in sleep but it never felt so warm, she frowned in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.

Then she realised that she was in Mikhail's arms and that's why it was too warm because she was under thick bedsheets and Mikhail's large hands were holding her close to his chest which was warm.

He was on his back and she was resting on his chest. Her eyes carefully judged his face and stomach churned when she realised that he isn't asleep, he has just closed his eyes.

She was faintly sweating due to his warmth and gently tried to get out of his hold. She was about to remove bedsheets but the hold on her tightened.

"It's too early, go back to sleep."

He said in his lazy morning voice and she raised her eyebrows amused that how he can sound so sexy.

    Marona's POV I don't know where I am and I am safe or not. I don't know anything, I am just hiding in the other city. I had no idea what to do after finding out that he killed Laurence to marry me. That tune! He whistles that evil tone. When I heard that tune in the club near Laurence's dead body, I ignored it even though there was a doubt in my mind,but still I was thinking that maybe it's a coincidence but it wasn't. I should have not ignored that, the whole club was silent after Laurence's death but the person was whistling, it was obvious that he was enjoying it. It's sick!This tune belongs to the rare tribal people which they play whenever they kill or trap their enemy as a victory.If you are dead, my victory's claim,But if you live, prepare—I'll fan the flame.It says that If you are dead then I killed you and that's my victory, if I didn't kill you then I am coming for you to meet the victory.It sounds more dangerous in tribal language than what I have explained now.
