It had been days since I fled Havenwood, leaving Suzaine under the care of one of my students. The weight of my decision still hung heavy on my heart, but I had no choice. I had to protect myself from Athwa. Now, in a hotel far from Havenwood, I hoped to find some semblance of peace.
I was sitting on the edge of the bed, and my thoughts kept drifting back to Suzaine and the life I had hastily abandoned. I wondered if she was managing okay without me. Suzaine had always been strong, but leaving her alone again felt like a betrayal.
I sighed deeply, running a hand through my hair. The fear of Athwa finding me again was suffocating. I had tried so hard to build a new life, to create a safe space for myself and Suzaine. But Athwa's shadow loomed over everything, a constant reminder of the past I couldn't escape.
I stared at the ceiling; the intricate design was strange as well as interesting when my thoughts drifted back to Athwa. I could still feel his presence and his gaze, as if he were watching me even now. I shivered, the memory of his possessive touch sending a chill down my spine.
I wondered what Suzaine would say if she knew the truth about Athwa. His action, his obsession, his overwhelming possessiveness towards me, and what he actually does. He must be under the impression that I am unaware of his actual work, but I know. The biggest revelation that made me run from him.
He would not have left me if I had asked him to and the only option I had left was to flee.
I made the first move, and he will not let this opportunity go to waste.
I stood up, pacing the room to shake off the unease, and bit my lips anxiously, feeling them dry. I screamed in frustration. I have some uncanny obsession with my lips. They should be moisturised at all costs. I quickly took out the chapstick from my pocket and applied it.
But the fear of Athwa finding me was overwhelming, and the thought of him discovering Suzaine and using her against me was even worse. I had to keep her safe. I know he won't do anything like that but I have to be on the safe side; people involved in dangerous things can't be predicted.
I had to stay hidden.

Sitting in the quaint café, our fingers intertwined across the table, I couldn't help but smile at the warmth in Athwa's eyes. "I've missed this," he said softly, his thumb gently caressing my hand, then bringing my hand to his lips, leaving a delicate kiss. "Missed us."
"Me too, Athwa. It feels so good to have some time for us." I replied, feeling my heart flutter when he glanced at my wrist, his gaze lingering on the watch.
I still remember that day. He acted weirdly, making me doubt what was going on in his head.
We talked and laughed, savouring our time together. Athwa's phone buzzed with notifications, but he ignored them, focusing solely on me. After finishing our meal, we decided to take a walk in the nearby park, wanting to prolong our precious moments together.
