Just like his words the previous day, wanting her caged, forever by his side.

If she didn't return home tonight, surely Bettie would call her.

With her phone Likely in Tyrone's possession, he might mislead Bettie.

ALL she wished for was for Bettie to pick up on the situation sooner.

The thought of her phone reminded her of Trevor.

Her heart sank a little.

They had just made their relationship official, and she was certain

Trevor would text her. If Tyrone saw it...

Tyrone re-entered the room, bearing a tray laden with a sumptuous breakfast.

Holding the quilt tightly around her, she eyed him warily. "Tyrone, do you plan to keep me here against my will? You do realize that's illegal, right?"

“Just eat for now."

In response to her inquisitive gaze, he calmly placed the tray on the bedside.

Growing more exasperated as Tyrone disregarded her words, Sabrina snapped, "Tyrone, stop this nonsense! We're no Longer together. Why can't you accept that and move on?”

“Do you want me to feed you?" Tyrone queried.

Sabrina was almost out of breath. She wrapped herself in the quilt and rolled to the bed. She turned the back of her head to Tyrone and said,


"I don't want it."

“Eating will do you good. Not eating might harm you."

“No way. If you don't release me, I'll go starve myself until you decide to set me free," Sabrina said coldly. "It's not a big deal if I'll starve to death. Anyway, I'm alone and carefree."

Tyrone stayed quiet for a moment, then scoffed, “Nothing to lose? What about Trevor? Isn't he your new boyfriend?”

She stiffened.
