I’m Someone Else

Olivia burst into laughter, and Thomas looked at her silently. Broken bones take a long time to heal. Even though her bones are healed now, she still has to rest for a while longer.

Eventually, Olivia stopped laughing and proudly said, “Then you’re going to work for me. I’m going to fatten you up, just you see.”

“Sure.”

Olivia stopped talking, though she thought better of Thomas now. He was gentle, and she felt safe enough with him. Moreover, he had a sense of humor too. Not many men out there had these qualities. Even though she had never dated anyone, she could still see that Thomas was a rare one.

Thomas left the villa in the evening and went to Pontius’ house again, but like before, no one showed up no matter how long he waited. Thomas sat in his car, frowning. What’s going on? He checked out the houses of the other four, and no one was there either. They shouldn’t have found me out, which leaves one explanation. They’re scared. Scared that they might die like their brothers, so they’re hiding. Sh*t. This is a big city. If they’re hiding, where can I even find them?

Thomas didn’t want something dangerous like this to happen again, so he stayed with Olivia.
