Chapter 95

• CORINA
• I didn’t sleep the previous night. The longer I lay down in that luxurious bed with my head resting on that therapeutic pillow, the more I realized that if I was going to get out of this, I would have to use my head. I couldn’t sleep. I kept tossing and turning throughout the night. It was only in the late hours of the morning when the idea came to me. The gun. The teddy bear has a secret compartment where I put my gun. I used to put the teddy bear on my bed when I stayed in a more dangerous part of town, but now that I was staying in a safer place, I no longer needed it so I chucked the doll in the closet.
• I planned to get the teddy bear and then use the gun when an opportunity arose. I didn’t think he would want to accompany me. That made me change my plans. I had to think on my feet. It wasn’t until we entered my apartment alone that I realized Dante wasn’t with his goons. It was now or never. Then he kissed me. That was a surprise, but it gave me time to get the gun out and point it at him, which is where we are now. With my gun against him, but no idea what to do next.
