Chapter 189: Sever (2) (1/2)

The next few days passed in the blink of an eye. Daisy's presence was scarce and not felt when she was around. Where she had been, I was not sure, but I had a suspicion that she had been meeting up with Anthony's head of security. It was about time they started dating. Without me in the picture, it would not be unethical for her to date Ethan.

I had surfed the internet day and night, plotted on maps and made grand plans. Still, I had no clue what I was going to do. I was in the process of figuring out if I could live without killing any longer.

How dependent could I be on it? I wondered, absent-mindedly as I looked at pictures of distant Greek islands.

All these places were beautiful, but how could I escape the danger that is my life and create a new identity for myself? The question seemed to chase away sleep without much effort. I had promised to not stop until I knew what I was going to do.

I started when I heard the familiar ringtone near me. I reached out and stared at the screen. It was Jacob. I didn't know what I was supposed to do.

He had said that he would contact his informants and that he would call if he had something important to convey. I was worried about the news he had received.

What if someone chases me all across the world? How would I live my dreams of a new life, then?

Hesitantly, I picked up the phone and pulled it to my ears.

”What news do you have for me this fine morning,” I asked him in the most playful voice I could manage.

”Why didn't you tell me?” Panic seized me. I didn't know what he was talking about. I had kept too many secrets from him; the point was: which one did he find out about?

”What are you talking about?” I asked, playing the innocent flower.

”You know what I am talking about, Mia! Don't act so coy!” I pulled the cell phone away from my ear to protect it from his loud scream.

”I don't have the slightest clue-”

”Why didn't you mention that Anthony Murray was there,” he cut me off, impatiently.
