Chapter 16

*A deal*

Alicia's POV

I stood there, frozen at the site of Dom. Our gaze locked on each other. He had that calm and gracious expression. Like nothing in the world bothered him. My heartbeat accelerated, as I watched him. So many thoughts flooded my head. Thoughts like I...I was back here? But how? How did I? Okay it was possible but, th-thus house, this house, it was different so how? As I stood there still trying to solve the puzzle in my head, the faint sounds of Anna's cries echoed and jolted me back to reality and out of my daze.

I had those many thoughts of "how's" but was never "why's"? Was I beginning to feel safe in his arms?

Although he already bought me, I already lost my Dad, and my stepmom had already laid claim to all his assets. So maybe.. just maybe, the fact that there was no other place to go to or no relatives to live with, was the reason why I felt safe?

Or was it because I wasn't in the captive of that monster anymore?

Urghhh! He's angry right now, isn
