Be Mine(16)

A week?

How could a week be enough?

When I carried the takeout back, I was already a little distracted. Looking at my pale face in the mirror of the elevator, I felt disgusted at the thought of the bloody scene.

In the news broadcast at night, the details of the dead man were revealed. He was the CEO of a real estate company. What was scary was that the man's birthplace was the same as Linda's hometown. It was also the place where my orphanage was located.

I felt that I had walked to the edge of a cliff. He was already dead. Would the next one be me?

Perhaps I was really too scared, and my expression was so bad that Leonardo knew something was going on.

"Come here."

Leonardo held my waist, raised his hand, and turned off the TV. Then, he frowned as he said, "Did you see the scene of the accident downstairs today?"

I pursed my lips, tears were brimming in my eyes. I wrapped my hands around Leonardo's neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Leo, I'm scared."
