The sky was clearer here. | looked up at the stars, blinking back
another wave of tears. | didn’t cry this time. Just breathed.
Ten minutes passed. Maybe fifteen.
The sound call at once.
Crunch.
Snap.
Step. Step.
I froze.
That wasn’t Ava.
Ava couldnt have arrived so soon. No vehicle sounds, no
flashlight beam cutting through the trees, no familiar voice
calling my name. Just the rustle of leaves, deliberate and slow,
like someone trying to move quietly... but not quite succeeding.
My heart dropped.
| stayed completely still, barely even breathing.
Another twig snapped.

Whoever it was-was close.
| clenched the phone in my hand, trying not to panic, but every
instinct in my body was screaming.
Olivia's POV
The crunch of leaves grew louder behind me.
I froze.
My body was already trembling from fatigue and cold, but now the air felt thinner. Every step | had taken up that

but | saw nothing.
Then-

A firm hand grabbed my arm from the side.
| screamed.
“Olivia!” a deep voice hissed, grabbing my shoulders to steady
me.
My scream died mid-breath.
“Alexander?”
The moonlight spilled just enough light to confirm it. He was here. In person. Hair wind-tossed, shirt rumpled,
breath short-

as if he'd sprinted the last stretch.
“What are you doing?” he said sharply, scanningfrom head
to toe. “Why didn’t you respond to the call?”
| blinked up at him, heart racing for an entirely different reason
now. “I... I didn’t hear it,” | said weakly. “Tinnitus. It’s been acting
up since earlier.”
His jaw tightened. “You're bleeding again. Do you even care
about your injuries?”
I looked down. | hadn't even noticed. “It didn’t matter. | couldn't
stay in that car.”
“Why do you always find such troubles. Dammit, Olivia.”
I didn’t know if I should feel ashamed or touched that he was
this angry. Maybe both.
“I don’t know,” | said, lowering my eyes. “I just wanted to get
things done smoothly.”
Alexander exhaled through his nose and looked away for a second, then bent down and sweptinto his arms.
I flinched. “Wait, I can-"
“No, you can’t,” he snapped. “Letdo this one last time. Because you got injured for my company, not

him as he carriedback down the slope.
The night air was cool, brushing against my cheeks as | lay
quietly in his arms. | could feel the tension in his muscles-not
from strain, but something else. His grip was firm, secure. There
was no shaking in his steps. Only purpose.
He carriedall the way down to where my own car had been
parked.
“I-how did you even get here?” | asked, the question slipping
out without thought. “Did... did you know where | was all this
time?”
Alexander didn’t respond at first. He setgently in the
backseat and closed the door behind me. | watched him circle
around and get in.
“Did you send someone to follow me?” | pressed.
He just kept riding without replying me.
| fumbled for my phone and quickly typed out a message to
Ava.
Me: I'm safe. Alexander found me.Ava: OMG. | KNEW IT. He chimself?? See??? He totally has feelings for
you!!!

| stared at her reply, unsure whether to laugh or groan. Ava
could never resist turning everything into romantic .
Still, her words lingered.

I slumped back into the seat, suddenly embarrassed by my own
assumptions.
“He probably doesn’t even like women...”
Why had | typed that?
| sighed, and closed my eyes.
| regretted saying it. Not because | cared what Ava believed, but because deep down... maybe | didn’t want to be
so wrong about
him.
