Chapter 15Shark manELSAI was far away from the car and the vicinity where we parked, by now, they must have noticed I had escaped, he must be looking for me now. The entire place was crowded with people going about their daily lives. A man was sitting alone and drinking from a cup, the other seat was empty, and there was no other way to hide from a stalker other than blending into the crowd.I immediately sat opposite the guy, he looked up from his phone and gave me a weird look, he looked like he was in his late twenties. “Hi, will you be my boyfriend? Just… for a minute.” I tried not to show that it was obvious I was hiding from a psychopathic stalker who would kill both of us if I was found. “You’re not a.. serial killer are you?”He folded his arms and dropped his phone on the table. “That depends, how many times does it take till you get to serial?”I did a hurried thinking with my eyes. My voice filled up with uncertainty. “Five?”“Oh, no. We’re good.” He smiled and I genuine
Chapter 16Fire and IceELSA“Tie her up and put her into the front seat, you’re both dismissed,” he ordered before taking the white towel one of the guards gave him then he cleaned his hands on it aggressively.I didn’t say anything as one of them carefully tied my hands together with a strong red ribbon that felt like a rope, the car was already at the entrance of the alleyway, he opened the door wide for me and gestured towards the front passenger seat. I obeyed and sat there.“Can I ask a question?” I turned to the man holding the car door, he let out a tired sigh before shaking his head negatively.“I’m not permitted to talk to you, Miss.” he proceeded to close the door but I held out a hand and it bounced back to him, he brought a brow up in a questioning stance.“You don’t have to talk, just nod for yes and shake your head for no.” When he didn’t argue, I proceeded. “Kian, Is his name Kian?”The man kept looking at me before he finally nodded and walked away leaving the door wi
Chapter 17 Survive if you canELSA“Take off your clothes and bend, or the injury on your neck would be a whole lot worse and I’d bend you over myself.”“Why on earth are you doing this to me?” I screamed, tears accumulating in my eyes, my body was shivering, I couldn’t even survive underwater for ten seconds, how would I survive for three minutes? “This is rape.”He grabbed me by my arm and bent me over so I was backing him, I placed my hand on the hem of the well to maintain my stamina. “Try not to die, Kitten. You can only report me to the police if you’re alive.”I wiggled, trying to push him off me from behind, he grabbed my two hands and tied something on them, it felt hard and like metal… a small chain. “No no no… please let me go… leave me alone, please—“My words were cut short when I felt his hand at the back of my neck, he instantly pushed it down and my face was inside the pool of water, I kept struggling to come out, the hold of his hand on my neck was strong, too strong
Chapter 18 IconicELSA“Lift your chin and swing your arms with full energy,” the martial arts instructor ordered, and I did as he instructed, punching the sandbag with so much intensity that it flew to the edge before coming back to me.“Good job, Miss Reed,” the man looked at me with a smile on his face. Kian had kept to his word. He said if I survived, I’d be free for a week. I haven’t seen or heard from him. I used that opportunity to enroll in a self-defense class at my university. I canceled my leave and came back to campus. I was alone; I had to be alone. Anyone who got close to me in any way was going to get hurt. I needed to learn how to protect myself.“That’s enough for today. I’ll see y’all in the next class.” The trainer’s voice echoed over the hall, and I took in a deep breath. Mentally, I was exhausted; physically, I wanted to die, commit suicide maybe.I tied my shoelace into a knot and exited the center. The walk back to my dorm was short. Opening the door, Rose, my
Chapter 19 Cat and MouseELSAHis eyes searched mine, but his hand was still fisted. I instantly turned backward to where Lucas sat; his attention was on his phone. He had no idea what was going on here. I immediately sprinted off, just like he ordered. Everywhere was crowded, and navigating outside the hall was hard. Curses filled the air as I kept bumping into different people, my heart beat against my chest with so much intensity. His voice was all over my head, it contaminated every remaining good part of me.𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞.I went for self-defense classes for this purpose but at this moment, everything I had learned disappeared from my head like it was never there. I ran outside to the parking lot. I fumbled the keys to the car Rose gave me to use for the date. My eyes looked profusely, my hands were shaking. The key fell off my hands; I immediately picked it up and clicked it into the car door. It opened, and I flew inside.I was about
Chapter 20 My Girl, My WorldELSA“Your choice, Frozen. What is it going to be?” His voice was so calming. He stood up from between my thighs and walked a step backward. His voice and tone contrast what he was—a demon, a beast, someone who has no business being alive and well.“How exactly do you sleep at night knowing all the traumatic things you’ve made people face? All the bad things you’ve done?”A sneer appeared at the corner of his cheeks before he undid his button, letting his trousers fall to the ground and revealing his already erect dick, which was pierced. “I’m far past the redemption stage, Kitten.” He stepped out of his trousers and walked between my thighs. “Stop trying to see if there’s a part of me that would feel remorse. I know nothing of that word, but I can assure you that every part of me belongs to you and wants you to feel like the woman you are.”“Fuck you.” My eyes stared directly into his, anger coursing through my veins. His smile only infuriated me further.
Chapter 21 ELSAI still had my hands wrapped over my body in a protective and shameful way. I pulled my leg to my chest on the bed filled with red roses that he had carried me to after carefully removing the knives. I couldn’t think straight; I had no idea what to do next. The door to the room I was in opened, and my body instantly did a little shake. He had folded the sleeve of his black shirt, revealing a cursive tattoo on his left arm with an initial ‘H’.I moved backward to the end of the bed, my arms still wrapped over my body, and my heart still beating against my chest with intensity. I felt pain all over my body, mostly from the sharp knives that pierced me.“I drew you a bath. Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you?” He asked, his eyes staring directly at me, like he felt sorry for me. How could he feel sorry after he caused this?“I want to be left alone. I can go to the bath tub myself.” I didn’t spare him a glance. He looked like he wanted to argue but turned backwar
Chapter 22 (You’re in the wind.)ELSAHe left; all emotions I had been trying to keep in for days all came rushing in as soon as I heard the door of the bathroom shut closed.“Oh God…” I covered my face with my palm, tears falling uncontrollably down my face as I sank into the water, letting it wash me, consume me. I had no will to live, no will to fight for my life back. “What exactly did I do to deserve this?”I lifted my face out of the water, feeling the force as water came rushing from my long red hair down my face and body. There were two pink towels next to the bathtub; I picked one up and wrapped it around my body. The next one went to my hair. I stepped out of the bathtub; it took a toll on me to stand on two feet. I felt sore all over; the injuries from the knife didn’t hurt as much as they did earlier, but I could still feel it. Kian is a monster, and I was going to take my revenge. I would kill him with my bare hands, and I wouldn’t feel sorry about it.I walked into the r
