Chapter 124

Everything came as a rush towards Sebastian. It was as if everything was happening all at once, and he was at the center of it. If anything at all, this was not how he had envisioned to spend his vacation. He had come here to de-stress, not to relive another trauma he thought he had left behind.

He got to his door and turned the handle, but it had beenlocked from the inside. Pissed off by how life was currently playing him, he let out a faint growl and banged on the door loudly as though he was taking out some of his frustration out on it. Ava, who was on the inside, was taken aback when she suddenly got disturbed by the disconcerting sounds of the bangs.

“Who’s there?” She called out, standing up from the bed and heading towards the door to see who was tampering with the serenity of her room with such noises.

“Open the door.” Sebastian’s voice came through — almost like a growl, but in a very definitive and scary tone. Ava recognized the voice, so she turned the key, and let him in.
