Chapter 24 24 Tear You Apart

• “Let’s go….” Hollis pulled my arm and led me away from the crowd to a seductive balcony overlooking the big garden below. As we stood there, the moonlight casting shadows on his face, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that Sara’s words had planted in my mind.
• I stared at his face, which was shining with an eerie glow, as if he were hiding a lot of secrets. His gaze fixed on the garden below with a mixture of longing and intensity, leaving me curious about what lay hidden behind his cold facade. As he turned to me with a mysterious smile, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of mystery was hiding beneath his cold exterior. It was as if he held a world of secrets within him, waiting to be discovered. But why do I feel drawn to unraveling those secrets, despite the sense of danger that emanated from him? Why do I care about the darkness that lurks within him when I should be running in the opposite direction? Perhaps it is the thrill of the unknown, or maybe it is simply human curiosity that drives me to uncover the enigma that is him. Whatever the reason, I cannot deny the pull he has on me, beckoning me to explore the depths of his hidden truths.
• I shook my head as I stared below, where our hands were intertwined, feeling his hand hold mine with a firm grip even when we were all alone. There’s no one here whom Hollis has shown our fake relationship to, but he still continues to hold on tightly. It’s as if he is afraid to let go, as if he needs me just as much as I need him.
