Chapter 23

• I can't take my eyes off Thomas as Leo drives us back to the hotel. My feet bounce off the ground quickly as I bite my nails and stare at him. He was just released from the station. Fortunately, my sister did not arrive before then. Thomas hasn't said a single word to me since he was released, and he hasn't even given me his signature glare when he's angry with me. Not knowing what's going on in his head is killing me. It's the most heinous form of torture ever. Not knowing when your doom will come. I can only hope he believes me and that I had nothing to do with his arrest. But who will believe me? *I'm going to die tonight.*
• We step out of the car once it arrives at the hotel. I don't even dare to walk in front of him as we step inside. We walk straight to the elevator and take it to our floor. I wish the elevator would just stop, and we would never arrive.
• "Leo, ask the staff to move everyone on this floor two floors down," Thomas says as the elevator doors open, and he steps out.
