Chapter 5 He is back again

ALESSIA'S POV

He was back again.

He was back again while I was still struggling to get him out of my fucking mind.

I left the hospital early because of that incident earlier.

Maybe whatever happened was because I haven't slept for a long time, due to how hectic my job was.

I didn't even have the opportunity to cry my eyes out after the betrayal from my ex-fiance and my supposed best friend.

After the ordeal with the devil, I scurried out of the club with the hope of going home to get some rest.

My head was banging and my eyes were blurry, but unfortunately, I was called for an emergency surgery.

I ended up having just an hour of sleep at the worker's lodge.

This week has been an hectic one and after the incident of not being able to get the devil off my mind, I asked for permission to go home.

I turned off my phone so I won't be called back for any emergency surgery again.

Upon getting home, I took a shower and headed towards the kitchen to fix myself something to eat.

I was still cooking when I noticed something unusual.

I felt the hair at the back of my neck stand, and couldn't shake off the feeling.

Stopping what I was doing, I turned around, looking sharply at every nook and cranny of my apartment.

I searched everywhere, but didn't find anything unusual.

I exhaled in relief and ate dinner before heading towards my room to get a goodnight rest, hoping I could get everything off my mind.

Upon getting to my room, I noticed the light was turned off, causing a frown to appear on my face.

" Wasn't it on when I came in?" I muttered, walking fully into the room, trying to locate the switch.

I wasn't with my phone, so it was hard to locate the switch, not when I felt my nerve cracking and the hair at the back of my neck standing, once more, like earlier.

' What is happening again?' I muttered, fear creeping into my skin.

Before I could locate the switch, I was able to come across my pepper spray.

I grabbed it with both hands, ready to spray everything on the stranger who dared break into my apartment.

" Who are you? Come out now!"

I said, trying so hard to sound courageous, but I knew deep within me that I was melting in fear.

What if it is a man?

What if he is trying to rape me?

What if he was sent by Rachel?

Different thoughts flew into my mind, but I took a deep breath, steadying my breath, so as to shove away every negative thought.

" Come out now!" I raised my voice once more, holding the handle of the pepper spray.

I knew someone was hiding in a dark corner inside my room, but I couldn't see even a thing.

" Here I am, Bunny. Did you miss me?" A deep dark voice came from a dark corner.

The name Bunny sounded awfully familiar, but I couldn't come in terms with the fact that the person I was thinking about was the same person who broke into my apartment.

He wouldn't go to such lengths.

We have no connection, since he didn't know me and I didn't know him either.

I shook my head, trying to get him out of my head.

' He isn't the same person.' My subconscious mind said to me.

I kept believing that he wasn't the same person, until the light turned on, and the person in the dark corner stepped out.

A gasp escaped my lips, and that was when it dawned on me that I was doomed.

He went out of his way to find me and even stalked me.

" You....you..you!" My voice failed me, as my eyes widened in shock.

I took a step back as my waist couldn't hold my weight any longer, so I fell heavily on my butt.

Was I cursed or something?

Why was misfortune chasing me?

I got betrayed less than two days ago, and that same day, I came across the devil, and now, he was clinging onto me, changing my normal life into an abnormal one.

" Why do you look so shocked? I bet you weren't expecting to see me." A dark smirk graced his lips.

These were the longest words he has ever spoken to me, but I was too shocked to even think about that.
