Lisa’s POV

I feel I was lying on top of something very soft and cozy which for sure isn’t my tiny bed. I opened my eyes only to find myself in a beautiful room.

I could hear my heart racing so fast. I peeped inside the duvet and I had on a white to shirt. But I wasn't in pain, in fact I have never slept so peacefully.

"Do they want to offer me as a sacrifice?" I said a simple prayer as tears streamed down my face.

    Lisa’s POV I got back to sleep after he left only to wake up with the sound of the doorbell. "Stop ringing the doorbell..." I pleaded before shoving a pillow over my face hoping it would stop. But it seemed the person on the door was persistent. I staggered from the bed, cursing the person on the door beneath my nose. When I walked into the living room, I began to look around and forgot Someone was at the door. There was a huge photo of a soaring eagle, a glamorous chandelier, a coffered ceiling, and classy black sofas. I was busy looking around when I heard the doorbell again. Sweet Lord, I forgot.I face-palmed myself. "Who is it?" I asked, my hand already on the door knob. "It's the pizza you ordered." I twisted the door knob and opened it. "Here is your pizza!" He offered me a half smile. "Thank you..." "My tip?" "I don't have any tips." I slammed the door on his face. I placed the pizza box on the table and continued looking around. I held one of the elegant and richly textu

She was so busy on her phone that she didn't notice me. "What are you doing out here so late at night?" "It's so calm.I can't remember the last time I had a quiet and peaceful night..." She turned to look at me. "Why are you awake?" She asked. "I woke up to check up on you and you weren't there..."
