Chapter 32

Piper pulled away from Ryan. She wished she wouldn't have to do that but it couldn't be helped. Somehow, in a way she couldn't explain, she felt damn secured. More than she had ever felt all her life even with the tight security in her apartment.

"I will go in now," she said.

Ryan waved at her. "Take care of yourself."

She smiled at him and went inside. She hadn't heard the fucking car engine's sound so she assumed Ryan was waiting for her to get inside before he leaves.

She inputted the password of her apartment and opened the door. She peeped inside. It was fucking dark. Had she turned off the lights before leaving this morning? Fuck. She couldn't really remember if she always left the lights on or not.

She stepped inside. She saw a movement or… did she imagine it? Her heart beating fast, she took another step inside. She was only a few meters to where the switch was when she heard a crashing sound.
