For the next few weeks, Bradley truly suffered. His fear grew day by day. He became paranoid, easily startled, constantly on edge.
Then the news spread through the company.
Thea Montrose had woken up.
Only then did Bradley understand what it meant to live in hell.
He was consumed by the fear that Thea would report him to Arthur. He was certain she had been outside his cabin that day. Certain she had seen or heard something.
His performance at work declined rapidly. He kept glancing over his shoulder, as if something was always chasing him.
Ryan nagged him almost daily after the news of Thea's recovery broke.
Bradley finally couldn't take it anymore.
He took time off work and began stalking Thea Montrose. He broke into the estate grounds and climbed trees, sitting among the branches for hours. From there, he watched her through binoculars, peering into the windows.
