Chapter 10 - Back to reality

In the middle of the night, Astrid wakes up to find herself in an unknown location along with Luke sleeping next to her.

All she could was her rapid heartbeat as she looked at his face, she was shocked as his whole arms were wrapped around her waist. But she couldn't care less, all she could see was his dark but fair pale face and long eyelashes that were wavering.

She chuckled thinking about how he must be having a nice dream as she hesitantly reached her hand out to touch his dark black hair.

He pulled her closer until he woke up.

"Mmmmm... You're already awake" Luke said as he smiled pulling her closer

Astrid muttered under her breath as her cheeks turned red saying, "let...LET GO !!!!"

"NO!" he picked her up as he sat up and made her sit on his lap."You told me that you never regretted any of the time I spent with you, so deal with it" he casually whispered in her ear.

He then pulls up closer to her face...KNOCK KNOCK

They both looked at each other in dead silence until Astrid finally asked Luke where they were. He hesitantly told her as he reluctantly opened the door with a cold glare at the butler who was looking at the both of them and started smirking.

Astrid, later on, told him everything, at first he couldn't believe what he heard

A FEW DAYS LATER

"You know, there's nothing wrong with stopping here, you can always walk away from the problem"

"No, sooner or later I have to kill them, Luke"
