The moment the jet lifted off the runway, I let out a deep breath. Logically, going to see Vanessa was as risky as walking into a viper's den but I didn't have any other choice.
I was banking on the fact that she was still obsessed with me and wouldn't do anything to hurt me but I knew it was only a matter of time before she carried out her main task—which is to remove Serena completely out of the picture.
I leaned back against the seat and stared out the small window, watching Ardoria disappear beneath the clouds. I didn't want to leave Serena.
Every part of me wanted to go back to her, walk into our bedroom, and hold her until we both were full of each other's company. I had missed her so bad and now that she was back home. I couldn't even stay with her. Fate is truly funny.
I guess my karma is slowly catching up to me—all those years I spent living a life that was covered in blood and sin has finally caught up with me.
