Chapter 24: Chapter 24

"She hired mercenaries to watch over me?!"

I couldn't blame Amanda for her reaction. We had been on the FaceTime call for the last three hours and I was finally telling Amanda everything that had been going on. I felt extremely relieved finally being able to put this part of my life behind me. Caroline had pleaded insanity at court and had been taken to a mental institution rather than jail. Either ways, I was pretty content to know that she was away from me. That she could no longer hurt me or the people that I cared about.

"Wow." Amanda said once I finished explaining everything to her.

"I know," I said sighing, "I know."

The line was silent for a while.

"Muna." Amanda said, her voice was cracking up, "I hate that you had to go through all that alone."

She sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
