Chapter 369

I glance at the car that he’s now leaning against before I nod, “Ok, I’ll have at think about it.” I respond,
just wanting to get home.
“Great, I’ll be waiting for your response. Don’t take too long.” He winks at me as he opens the car door
for me, which he had expertly been blocking.
“Sure, bye.”
He shuts the door, bidding me farewell as I drive out of the hospital parking lot.
Parking up outside my apartment block. I look around. There’s no bike here. I didn’t see it this morning
either… unless he’s parked it somewhere else. Locking the car, I head inside, hurrying to my place and
after entering, lock the door behind me before dropping my coat and bag on the sofa.
Wasting no time, I unlock the balcony door and step outside, walking over to his side, and knock on his
door.
“Zade?” I call quietly, no answer.
I didn’t imagine it. In the middle of the night I’m certain I heard something, but I had been so
overwhelmed I didn’t come to check. I didn’t know what to say, although I’ve been waiting for him every
single day. Maybe I should have come.
Goddess, what do I do now?
What am I going to say to him anyway when I see him?
I close my eyes, exhaling slowly. “Zade? Are you there?” I ask again.
Silence.
Has he left?
I open my eyes looking at the door. How do I get in?
Frowning, I try the handle, wondering if I could somehow get inside.
“Zade?” I call again.
Fine then. I’ll think about how I’ll fix this later! Glancing around, I make sure no one is watching before I
focus on the frame where the lock would be.
My eyes blaze as I place my hand on the frame, feeling the heat burn through the UPVC door frame,
just enough for me to be able to shove it open. The smell of burned plastic is strong and I hope I don’t
get into trouble for that.

Not like this place has much security, considering someone was able to sneak in,
I walk two steps inside and stop as his scent hits me, and for a moment I pause to
I Savour it. I never realised how good he smelt… the perfect blend of seductive, masculine, and woody.
No, I don’t know what I’m feeling, but what I do know is I need to talk to him- If
I find him.
The place is pretty much clean, there are a few things lying around and to my relief, it’s clearly still lived
in. There’s a jacket on the floor by the entrance and there’s a tablet on the table with a charger plugged
in. I’m sure if he was going to clear out, he would have taken that with him.
There’s a post–it note on the table with something written on it and I walk over to it, picking it up.
–
‘Log in to ‘Watch Safe‘ app you’ll get notifications anytime the sensors I set up go off – Z‘
There’s a username, and a password scrawled underneath.
I drop onto the sofa, the sensors he installed on my windows and doors.
He had done that for me… I didn’t even mention the man who had tried to attack me to Zaia or about
what happened that night because of the fact Zade had killed. the man who had broken in, but he had
protected me… had been there for me.
I miss him.
Suddenly I feel something cold touch my neck, a gloved hand covering my mouth making my blood run
cold.
I hadn’t heard him!
“Who gave you permission to enter?” The menacing voice whispers.
It doesn’t take me long to realise it’s Zade, his closeness making my heart pound, even if he is holding
what feels like a knife to my neck.
