Tears streaked her face, and Arianaâs eyes and nose turned red.
With trembling fingers, she pressed the blue icon, and a satellite map materialized before her eyes.
The red dot and green dot on the map coincided, divulging the truth she sought.
Unbelieving, Arianaâs breath quickened.
She clutched the phone and moved it experimentally.
True to her imagination, the red dot began to rotate!
It was a tracking app, and she was the one being tracked.
Theodore had been monitoring her every move!
A wave of weakness washed over Ariana, and in a hoarse voice, she managed to utter, âSince when have you monitored me?â
Theodoreâs demeanor remained composed as he responded, his voice a bit light, âEver since Lynch caused the car accident that broke your previous phone.
When I replaced it for you, I started monitoring you.

A shiver ran down Arianaâs spine as she heard Theodoreâs response.
It was no surprise that no matter where she was, Theodore could always locate her.
âWithout Sarahâs help, you already knew my address.
You used her as a cover,â she accused.
Ariana locked eyes with him, her voice calm.
âNo wonder I sensed your uncanny ability to find me.
I went to Tylerâs dormitory to watch a variety show, and it tums out that you were already aware of my presence.

Subconsciously, Theodore reached for the cigarette box, but the realization that he had changed clothes upon awakening stopped him.
The cigarette box resided in his coat.
Without access to a cigarette, he reached out to touch her hand.
But as soon as his fingertips brushed against her hand, she instinctively recoiled.
His fingertips trembled ever so slightly.
âAnswer me, Theodore.
You are always eloquent, arenât you? Not that itâs time for you to explain, but why the silence? What unspeakable secret are you hiding?â
âArianaâs impatience overshadowed any trace of anger.
She was consumed by anxiety, desperate to comprehend his innermost thoughts.
Theodore lowered his gaze and spoke in a hushed tone.
âIâve been there since you entered Tylerâs dormitory.
â
âIf I hadnât come downstairs, were you planning to ascend and investigate if we were engaging in any shameful activities?â Ariana questioned.
Theodore remained silent.
âIs there anything else?â Ariana pressed further.
âStop guessing.
â Theodore sought to put an end to this line of questioning, yet his attempts only fueled Arianaâs growing suspicion.
She struggled to recall every interaction she had with him, searching for any peculiarities.
Her mind fixated on the moments when they had been together.
Ariana painstakingly retraced those instances, grasping at the peculiar occurrences.
