Chapter 40

• Mona POV
• A loud noise woke me up as I jump up holding my chest. My eyes hurt because I had cried myself to sleep. Mr. Durand had made himself perfectly clear that there wouldn't be any fraternizing on the job. My eyes felt heavy as I tried to open them. The red numbers on the clock smeared and I put my head closer. Damn it! It was four in the morning. I heard the loud banging noise again.
• I got up and the room was pitch black. There was no moonlight as the clouds mixed into the sky. I got out of bed but I fumbled and fell on my hands. The knock got louder. I finally made my way out the bedroom sliding my hand down the wall to find the light switch.
