#Chapter 133 Ball and Chain

Stella I can't feel my body. My limbs feel numb, unable to perceive or feel the world all around me. My feet carrying me back to Silas's car, aimlessly, opening up the door and sitting inside with a look of distress written all over my face. I stared straight ahead at the road. I wonder where it will take me this time, what disappointments await for me in the near future. I'm sure that Silas has told Sebastian of this venture, spilling the secret that I wish to keep from him, only wanting to open up about it when we were alone and with no prying eyes watching us. Silas stares at the side of my face. I do not indulge in his gaze, closing my eyes to black out the reality that I am finding myself in. I slowly suck in, filling my lungs with as much air as possible, trying to desperately ground myself back into reality, before slowly exhaling and opening my eyes. “Stella?” Silas’ voice fills my ears, like a gentle melody, so soothing the anxiety that has formed deep within my bones.
