Chapter 70 Mariana

• The car sped through the streets, the city blurring past me. Everyone was quiet and deep in their thoughts. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, my mind drifting to the events of the day. The attack, the escape, the fear, and the relief I had felt. It was all too much to process and I felt exhausted. I hoped that Lorenzo was okay, as much as I hated him for lying to me,I also didn't want him dead. In another world we would have been so happy together. I could picture us, cuddled up in bed, chatting and laughing about anything, just me and him. I slowly drifted off to sleep, My dreams playing on my delusions.
• I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me gently.
• "Marianna wake up." I heard Samantha's voice.
