    **Chapter 287: Nowhere to Go**


    “I truly missed you,” Ethan’s voice came through the phone, warm yet tinged with a hint of regret.


    Dawn pressed her lips together, feeling the weight of his words. “It’s been so many days,” she murmured softly, her heart aching with the distance that stretched between them.


    She understood that Ethan was preupied with work. He had sent her a text earlier, assuring her that Ethan was doing well, and she didn’t want to burden him further with her worries.


    “I’ll finish everything as quickly as I can. Once I’m back, I’lle and take you away from Jonathan’s ce, alright?” His tone was soothing, almost like a gentle luby meant tofort a restless child. “When I return, I promise I’ll bring you home from Jonathan’s. Just take care of yourself in the meantime.”


    Dawn couldn’t help but make a small sound of acknowledgment. “I will,” she replied, though her heart was heavy with unspoken thoughts.


    She had intended to discuss something significant with him, but just then, another voice broke through their conversation.


    “Mr. Jackson, the client is still waiting for you,” a voice chimed in, crisp and formal. It sounded like his secretary, and although she spoke in Antean, her quiet tone still reached Dawn.


    Ethan sighed, “I’m speaking with my wife. Please tell them to hold on for a moment.”


    “Go ahead. You should focus on your work. I’ll hang up now,” she interrupted, cutting him off before he could finish his sentence.


    There would be time to ask him about the pressing matters when he returned. He was already upied overseas; she didn’t want to add to his stress.


    After a brief moment of staring nkly at her phone, she tucked it away and stood up, stepping out of the room.


    “I’m going out,” she dered, the words slipping from her lips with an unexpected resolve.


    The bodyguard froze, his eyes widening in surprise at her sudden deration.


    Dawn paid him no mind as she strode purposefully toward the door.


    “Ms. Dawn!” The bodyguard’s voice rose in panic as he rushed after her. “I need to report this to the boss. You can’t just leave on your own!”


    She halted, turning to give him a piercing re. “I’ve been cooped up in this house for days. Do you truly think I’m some kind of prisoner? Do you honestly believe I wouldn’t call the police if I needed to?”


    In truth, she had had ample opportunities to do so. Yet, she had refrained, partially out of respect for Ethan’s connection with Jonathan and partly because she was acutely aware of the reality of her situation.


    With Jonathan’s status and influence, a call to the police would likely yield no results.


    He hadn’t harmed her. Even if he had indeed locked her away, the police would struggle to find any evidence to support her ims.


    The bodyguard was left speechless.


    “Move,” shemanded, her patience fraying. She pushed past him, her determination unwavering.


    Perhaps her expression was too icy; the bodyguards hesitated, not daring to obstruct her path. They quickly summoned two more colleagues to follow her and reported the situation to Jonathan.


    Upon reaching the car, Dawn opened the driver’s side door but paused, a fleeting thought crossing her mind.


    Instead of getting in the front, she opted for the back seat, a small act of defiance.


    “What are you waiting for? Do you want me to drive you around?” she quipped, her toneced with sarcasm.


    The bodyguards exchanged uncertain nces before hastily entering the vehicle.


    “Ms. Dawn, where would you like to go?” one of them inquired, his voice cautious.


    Where to go?


    It was a question that struck her with unexpected force.


    In that moment, the nameless anger that had propelled her out of the house dissipated, leaving behind a swirling confusion. After a long pause, she whispered an address, one that felt both familiar and distant.


    The bodyguard nced at the rearview mirror before starting the engine, the hum of the car filling the silence.


    Dawn had given Anna’s address.


    She had assumed Anna would be at work, but when the car pulled up beneath the buildingplex, they were met with the sight of Anna emerging from her apartment.


    “Dawn?” Anna eximed, her eyes widening in shock. She rushed over, her hands grasping Dawn’s face gently. “Oh my gosh! Where have you been? I texted you for days! I thought you’d been kidnapped. I almost called the cops!”


    “It’s a long story,” Dawn replied, pulling away from Anna’s grasp, feeling the warmth of her friend’s concern.


    “Are you free? Want to go somewhere?” Anna asked eagerly, her eyes bright with excitement.


    “Of course I’m free,” Dawn responded, a flicker of hope igniting in her chest.


    They climbed into the car, two bodyguards settling in the front, while another vehicle trailed closely behind them.


    Anna, unfazed by the presence of bodyguards, seemed more taken aback by their association with Dawn. This was a woman who despised being monitored more than anything else.


    Leaning closer, Anna whispered conspiratorially, “What’s going on? Is your husband worried someone might kidnap you?”


    Dawn shook her head, a hint of frustration creeping in. “This has nothing to do with him.”


    Anna’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Wait—were you actually kidnapped?”


    “Don’t,” Dawn interjected, the mere thought of it draining her energy. All she wanted was to breathe in some fresh air. “Let’s just grab some coffee.”


    At that moment, the bodyguard in the front received a call. Dawn couldn’t catch the words from the other end, but she heard his respectful reply. “Yes, understood.”


    The call ended, and the bodyguard turned to them. “Mr. Jonathan said you can go out and rx, but he wants you back home before six.”


    Dawn felt her heart sink, the weight of Jonathan’s words pressing down on her.


    She lowered her gaze, silence enveloping her like a heavy nket.


    Anna, however, was unfazed by Jonathan’s authority.


    She scoffed, shaking her head. “Who does he think he is? Just because he says six o’clock, you have to be there? Last I checked, we don’t have kings in this country.”


    The bodyguard frowned but chose not to engage in a debate.


    Before long, they arrived at the mall.


    Jonathan’s words had ignited a spark of rebellion within Dawn, and without a second thought, she grabbed Anna’s hand and marched straight toward the luxury section. “Pick anything you like. Someone’s paying.”


    Anna raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile creeping onto her face. She was well aware that it was probably Jonathan footing the bill. “Fantastic! Today, we’re going to bring home half the mall!”


    The bodyguard felt a wave of unease wash over him and quickly ryed the situation.


    Jonathan’s response was sinct, “Let her.”


    They spent the entire afternoon shopping, the trunk of the car overflowing with bags. In the end, the mall had to arrange for home delivery to amodate their haul.


    Exhausted, Anna finally sank into a chair, her expression shifting to serious as she asked the question that had been hanging in the air. “Okay, what really happened?”


    Before Dawn could respond, the enormous screen in front of them flickered to life, abruptly shifting to entertainment news.Conclusion


    As the day unfolded, a sense of liberation washed over Dawn, momentarily lifting the weight of her circumstances. Theughter shared with Anna and the thrill of shopping provided a stark contrast to the stifling atmosphere she had escaped. Each bag they filled symbolized a small act of rebellion against the constraints that Jonathan had imposed on her life. The freedom to choose, tough, and to simply exist outside of the confines of her home felt exhrating, even if it was fleeting. For the first time in days, she felt a flicker of hope ignite within her—a reminder that she was more than just a pawn in someone else’s game.


    Yet, the looming shadow of Jonathan’s authority hung over her like a storm cloud, threatening to dampen her newfound spirit. The reminder that she had to return home before six loomedrge, a tether pulling her back to the reality she was desperate to escape. But in that moment, surrounded by the warmth of friendship and the thrill of spontaneity, Dawn resolved to cherish this fleeting freedom. It was a small victory, but one that reignited her determination to reim her life. With Anna by her side and a newfound sense of agency, she felt ready to confront whatever awaited her back at home, emboldened by the knowledge that she was not alone in her struggle.What to Expect in Next Chapter?
