The mansion loomed again in the distance as we walked back to it after the poking and prodding and all the lab tests I had to get done before getting the green signal from Kinley. He didn't speak much, but I saw his fingers trembling while he handled some of the results.
He was scared now. Darek had after all, found out the hideout that they had successfully kept a secret for so long.
The building and the garden surrounding it looked just the same as when we got in, and the frustration burned in me even more while thinking of the various attempts I had made to leave this place. Walking back just felt like walking into a nightmare waiting patiently for me to get back.
I tried too hard to run away, each time thinking there was no way I would come back, except Darek always found a way to direct me here using whatever means necessary. But now, I wasn't even sure about his reasons for wanting me.
Was his thirst for power really that great for him to go to all these measures?
