Chapter 55

The apartment was in a prime location in the heart of Halton City. A hospital, supermarket, and banks were conveniently situated just downstairs. But most importantly, the interior of this apartment was just how I liked it–simple and modern. Not to mention, the furniture was all brand new and stylish too. 

I walked around the apartment and lay on the king–size bed to call Teri. 

However, her line was busy. 

“So busy,” I muttered to myself. 

Just then, my phone rang. 

It was Logan. 

I quickly answered, “Hey, Logan?” 

Logan’s calm and clear voice came from the other end, “I heard from Collin that you liked the apartment?” 

“Yeah, it’s so convenient here. Even if I’m hungry in the middle of the night, I don’t have to order t There’s a restaurant nearby downstairs. Then, I asked, “Logan, can you rent this place to me?! have money now.” 

There was a brief pause before Logan said, “Rent? What are you thinking? Just stay there for now.” 

“But 1- 

*Just stay there until everything is settled,” Logan firmly interrupted before I could finish my sentence. “If your brother knew I was taking rent from you, he’d cut ties with me,” he added. 

Upon the mention of my brother, I cautiously questioned, “Will my brother really come 

There was a brief silence before Logan calmly replied, “Yes.”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I wasn’t sure if he just wanted to comfort me, I still held onto the hope that it was true. 

Logan’s voice remained calm and steady as he continued, “Are you free tonight? I’ll come by and take you out for dinner to celebrate you moving into your new home.” 

I chuckled and asked, “Is this a new house?” 

“Yes. So far, you’re the first person to live there.” His tone carried a hint of a laugh. 

His words caught me off guard. 

I looked around the apartment and noticed that some of the furniture was still in its protective wrapping. 

I was surprised and overwhelmed. 

Feeling embarrassed, I replied, “Logan, is this your place? It doesn’t feel right for me to stay here. What if I mess up the place?” 

But Logan just laughed and replied, “Silly girl. I’ll pick you up at 7:30 pm tonight.” 

With that, he ended the call. 

1 had a gut feeling that something was off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I just felt awkward. But the apartment was so perfect. It was the exact place I dreamed to live in. 

In the end, my excitement outweighed my worries, and I started to decorate my own room.

After a while, Collin brought over my belongings, including the things I had risked my life to sneak out from Elijah 

villa. 

Bags after bags of luxury goods were brought up, and left me dazzled. 

Suddenly, I noticed a black bag. 

I must’ve accidently grabbed it that day. 

As soon as I saw that bag, that feeling of uneasiness crept back. 

Without a second thought, I quickly took the bag, hurried downstairs, and threw it into the garbage bin. 

As the lid of the bin closed, I let out a breath of disgust 

Goodbye to the days that I had groveled before Elijah. Goodbye to the foolish girl I once was. 

Just then, my phone rang again, 

It was from an unknown caller. 

I furrowed my brows and hesitated for a moment before I answered. 

“Hey, it’s me,” Elijah’s tired voice came from the other end of the line. 

My instinct told me to hang up and block him immediately. 

“Don’t hang up. There’s something that I need to discuss with you,” he said. 

I suppressed my emotions and coldly asked, “What is it Mr. Linden?” There was a long silence on his end, and my patience was beginning to wear thin.
