The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

The next morning, I woke up in a bad mood.

I looked for a source of water nearby and I found a small fountain.

There was no other options. I had to use it like that.

Once I was done with that, I went to find food and water in a daze. After taking care of that, I returned to the bridge to rest.

Although I didn't want to give up, I can't really see any options out of this pit I have fallen into.

One part of me just wanted to wait around in this City until Madam Tayo decided that I am not worth pursuing anymore.

Although the chances of that happening was very low, a girl can hope.

My eyes burned and my heart constricted painfully. My eyelids kept moving vertically. I didn't want to cry now. This was the time to think, it was not the time to wallow in my misery.

Some of the people that were staying under the bridge like I was weren't around.

They left around the time I woke up.

Suddenly, my eyes captured something. It was one of the faces I saw at the exits of the city that I visited yesterday.

My heart started banging against my chest like there was not tomorrow. I quickly stood up and cross-checked again.

Sadly, I wasn't mistaken like I wished. The person I just saw was one of the guards that were under Madam Tayo and the two organizations on my tail.

The person I recognized wasn't alone. He was part of a small group. This group were heading towards the bridge and other places.

They are in a fan shape to facilitate their search.

These people really didn't want to leave any stone unturned in their search for me. They were not giving me any breathing space at all.

I suspected that a few more guards were already dispatched to other bridges and places in this city.

Madam Tayo knows my predicament. She knows that I have no phone or any other helpful things in my possession.

No wonder these guards appeared near a bridge.

This woman was scary. She was predicting my actions somehow.

I snuck out of the area using a shortcut near the bridge. I left the surrounding areas of the bridge entirely. Things were too dangerous now.

I thought I would be able to lay low and just pass time for a while. Unfortunately, things were progressively going from bad to worse at a rapid pace.

I had to find a new area to hideaway in. I wouldn't really last long like this though. The people on my tail would capture me sooner or later if I continued like this.

I continued running away from that bridge. The damned anklet on my leg moved with my actions. I felt like the world was pressing down on me. It felt like this world didn't want to give me a way to survive.

After running for an unknown amount of time, I arrived at a completely unfamiliar location.

This time, I was running for my life so I didn't bother asking for directions from pedestrians around.

I didn't know where I was going but it had an advantage. The people looking for me wouldn't know where I was heading to too. Things would be more unpredictable.

I observed where I was like my life depended on it. Actually, it did.

I was near a large body of water. The area around wasn't as upend as the center of the city.

The people around were scanty but they looked very approachable.

I was near the shore.

Numerous haggling voices formed a layer of background noise.

My chest was burning because of the forceful exercise I just did.

All the nutrition I got from the little food I ate in the morning was used up. My stomach ached.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

I looked around some more. There wasn't any restaurants or food joints nearby. Even if there was, with the state of this place, I didn't feel like the organization would throw edible food away like the restaurants near the city center does.

There was nothing to eat and all the nerves in my body was screaming out in fatigue.

I collapsed to the floor like my bones had disappeared. My eyes stared at the moving clouds in the sky.

A sigh slipped out of my throat.

It wasn't really bad to die like this.

The strength to do anything wasn't present.

Tyler's image flashed in my mind. After his image disappeared, Killian's figure took its place.

I shook my head quickly.

I can't give up now!

There are loved ones that wants me to live. Besides, Giving up is what Madam Tayo wants.

I clenched my fists.

I can't let her win.

I must survive, even if it was out of spite and revenge.

The people around looked at me strangely but I didn't mind.

Light footsteps approached me. I didn't want to pay any attention to it.

The incoming person might be moving towards the water or any other direction I was close to. I wasn't so narcissistic that I would think they were coming for me.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

The footsteps didn't sound like it came from my pursuers. If the incoming person was part of my pursuer gang, the footsteps would have been more hurried.

The person that was approaching stopped by my side. Their shadow covered my view of the sky.

It seemed my guess was wrong. This person came for me.

I stopped looking at the sky and turned my attention to the new arrival.

The new arrival was a man. He had black hair and black eyes. His eyes looked very kind

and a few laugh lines were at the edge of his eyes and mouth.

He looked like a very approachable person. The stranger wasn't dressed in a luxurious outfit but it could be seen that he took care of himself very well.

I sat up and raised my left brow.

What did he want?

"Hello, lady. You collapsed in this spot a few minutes ago and there was no move to

get up. Are you okay?" He asked.

I was very surprised.

I knew how I look like currently and most people wouldn't want to approach.

Besides, people like avoiding trouble and some people didn't like going out of their way for anything.

It was refreshing to see this man come over to talk to me.

"I am okay." I replied.

It was at this inopportuned moment that my stomach growled.

A blush appeared on my cheeks and my eyes stopped making contact with thenoveldrama

stranger's amused pair.

Oh boy, this was total embarrassment.
