Jordan was right about losing control after having a taste of something.
The fish had taken the bait, so there was no reason not to bring them ashore. I could only temporarily suppress the hatred in my heart as I lay there quietly.
Soon, I heard the sound of even breathing from beside me.
Jordan was a clever person, so he might not be a deep sleeper. A slight sound or movement could wake him up. I've already irritated him too many times that day, so it wasn't a good idea to continue provoking him. I couldn't risk undoing what I worked so hard to get.
I couldn't all asleep for most of the night. When it was almost dawn, I noticed signs of Jordan waking up, so I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
A few minutes later, Jordan got out of bed, put on his clothes, and went downstairs.
He made breakfast, placing on the table. By the time I arrived downstairs, he was no longer there.
I didn't have much appetite. Besides, I learned a lesson from the day before. I didn't intend to eat what Jordan gave me.
I turned back and went upstairs, planning to figure out what was in the other two rooms, yet I underestimated Jordan's cautiousness. The two doors were locked, and I couldn't open them.
I looked around the house but couldn't find any tools to undo the locks. I was a little upset.
I wanted to call for help, only to remember that my phone and bag were left behind at Andrea's house, and there was no available ways of communication in this house.
I had no choice but to run out of the house. I prayed that the dim light affected my vision last night, so I didn't find any other residents. However, the truth was that I could see everything clearly from the top of the mountain. After I got out of Jordan's house, I couldn't find any other buildings. He was really living alone.
I couldn't do anything, so I went back to recuperate. After staying up for almost a day, I was sleepy and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark. The bedroom lights were off, but the lights in the living room were bright.
