Chapter 46 - A pinch of panic

Jade's POV

I let out a scream and staggered backwards.

My heart was pounding in my chest. My hands and lips trembled but I managed to keep my fists clenched. I could feel my palms becoming sweaty. 

"What is Marcus doing here? How did he get in? How did he even know this place?" I wondered in panic, in my mind. 

I looked around the entire room, frantically trying to find out where exactly he managed to get in, but I didn't see any opening that would allow an intruder to enter.

"I told you I will be forced to go after him if you refused to do what I asked you to do." I heard Marcus bellowing at me, but his lips were not moving like he was actually speaking. He was just smirking at me. 

Something was definitely wrong somewhere.

I took another step backwards in fear and I lost my balance. I was about to fall down when I felt a strong arm grab me by the waist and help me stand straight.
