Mariela's POV
I thought I was okay, and I thought what happened three days ago would not affect me, but I couldn't stop thinking about that incident, and every time someone called my name, I would suddenly cringe, and I could feel the loud pounding of my heart, and I was wondering if when I will be fine.
Tyler was true to his words, he dispatched some of his men to patrol the perimeter night and day, and I should stop feeling scared, but I couldn't stop feeling anxious, and I found it so hard to sleep without him. But Tyler became busier, and every time he came home, he will fall asleep immediately, and I wished we had time to talk, but I understood the Island Festival was fast approaching, and he was stressed about it, and I was having a hard time dealing with my fear.
