Chapter 160

I had acquired a new name .

For once, I was glad that I was no longer Mia Vincent . She had suffered too much pain . Mia Vincent was strong, but she almost lost the battle . I won it . By a twist of fate, I survived and I had a new name . No one knew me . The organization had hidden my ident.i.ty well . Half of the board members had no clue about my status . Billy Black and Jacob Hunt knew .

The Organization was a bad place, but it was the only thing that was left for me . My apartment had been demolished, I had found out . Everything was destroyed . Jacob sometimes came over and gave me letters . They were always in stark white envelopes and carried a small box with it .

Until that day, I had never dared to open them . I had a faint idea as to who had sent me these presents, but not even for a single moment did I want to entertain the idea that someone close to Anthony Murray knew that I was alive . Reading the letters would bring back the terror of living through my own death . I was not ready for it . I didn't think I would ever be .

”Marie,” she called .

My eyes hurt . I had been staring at the black box for far too long . I looked up and saw Daisy holding a plate out towards me . I gave her a polite smile and took it from her .

She took good care of me .

She had installed some of the best security facilities around her apartment so that I felt safe . She knew that no one would come after me, but she took great care . She even installed a dim night light in the guest room so that I didn't have to sleep in complete darkness . Four months of staying at her place had made me grow fond of her .

”Do you want me to dump all the mail? You don't need to read them . ” I shook my head . ”I know that you are tempted to read, and I support you, but please . . . think about it,” she said as she patted my back . She plopped down beside me on the couch and then switched the television on .

She switched to an anime channel and nonchalantly proceeded to dig into her Chinese takeout . I kept my eyes at her as I chewed the noodles carefully .
