Chapter 134

• Vanessa’s POV
• I navigated the bustling streets, the weight of the takeout containers in my hand serving as a tangible reminder of my insatiable appetite. Yet, an unsettling sensation lingered at the edges of my consciousness. It felt as though I was being watched, the hairs on the back of my neck prickling with a heightened sense of awareness. I cast furtive glances over my shoulder, searching for any sign of the unseen presence that seemed to dog my every step.
• The bustling thoroughfare thrummed with the pulse of city life, the cacophony of voices and the rhythmic hum of traffic providing a discordant backdrop to my mounting unease. Every shadow seemed to conceal hidden threats, every passerby a potential adversary, as I warily made my way through the crowded streets, acutely aware of the eyes that tracked my movements from the shadows.
