Erica's POV***

"what do you mean,you aren't coming?"he yelled 

"I said I don't want to come so,I won't come"I leisurely said as I adjust my bed covers.

"but why??"he asked still looking at me by my side.

"nothing particular but I just don't want to"

"but there mus...."I cut him off 

"nothing ,I don't have any reason and will you please go out,I want to get some sleep"I said as I turn towards him to face him.

"tell me at least why...." I closed his mouth with my hand and said,"shut up !!now go to bed we'll talk tomorrow ",and I began to push him but he was so strong that he wasn't moving a bit.

"no I won't leave until ,you give me a reason"he demanded and cross his arm over his chest and glare at me.

I stare at him for a second and then I replied ,"okay fine ,if you really want to stay here than stay because I am going to my parents room to sleep",I went and grab my pillow and just as I was about to pass him ,he grab my wrist and said,"wait you don't have to go anywhere but by tomorrow  I need your answer,understand"he order

I nodded my head before he went out from my room. And as he went,I stuck my tongue at him and jumped back on my bed and began to roll over my bed cover and said to myself ,"I am never going to give you a reason,Mr Richard Winkleman"and soon after sleep took over me .

I was helping my mom and aunt making lunch while dad,uncle and Richard ,they were in the living room discussing about the project in Dubai which Richard is going to handle next month after his graduation ,yes,he is finally graduating,just by the thought of him getting graduate makes me sad. I wish I was of his age so that we can graduate together but guess not in this generation,oh well!!!

Then I fell a sting on my pointing finger before I mutter,an"ouch!!",I take a look at my finger and it has a cut on it and blood were dripping out even though its just a small cut. I just kept on staring at it without putting anything on it. Then mom lapped my back from behind and yell,"Erica,you cut yourself, again"

Before I could say anything, Richard came and pulled my hand which had the cut on it and was looking at it and then stare at me but I rolled my eyes away from him.

"aunt,where is the first aid ?"he asked while still holding my finger.

"its in the shelf"I replied back to him as mom was busily cooking again with aunt Corey.

He glance at me for a second before going to the shelf to grab the kit. As he bought the kit,he pulled me and sat me down on the chair and open the first aid box ,took out some cotton and rub of my blood and began to dress my wound with antiseptic cream and band aid,as he was busy taking care of my wound ,I never let my eyes got off from him,I kept on staring at him,until I heard ,"if you keep on staring at me like that I won't hold back to do something which I never did to anyone?",he smirk at me ,after hearing him out,I immediately look away and lower my head with embarrassment .

He then ruffled my hair and before walking out from the kitchen,he level himself as me and whisper in my ear.

"relax I won't do anything, now"and  he walk away .

I sighted after he left and then look at my finger which is now covered with a band aid ,I kept staring at it and place a kiss on it.

I love it when you care for me like this and I wish you will for the rest of your life but only if you want me. Then I pick up an onion and began to chop again.

After our lunch,mom,dad,aunt Corey ,Uncle Robert and Richard ,they were all in the living room and discussing about something serious and I wasn't that interested in their talks so I just went up to my room , grab my novel and went straight under the covers of my bed and began to read my novel then as I was reading through the novel ,I got startle and threw away my book when Richard dash in without even knocking.

"hey don't you know how to knock ?at leas..."I couldn't speak when he all of the sudden hug me. He held me tightly as if something had happen.

"wha-what's wrong??Rich-ard ,"I  asked but he just held me tightly.

He held me tightly that I felt my bones are going to break into pieces.

"Rich-Richard I-I can't breath-e"I stammered as he slowly loosen his grip on me.

"I am sorry"he said before touching my face with his hand.

I gave a tight smile to him which he return it to me with a smile

" are you alright?"I asked with concerned 

"yes I am fine"and he bend down to pick up the book which I threw it off because of him and then he place it on the nightstand.

He is acting weird today, I mean from yesterday he is acting and behaving differently ,why is that?Is he trying to fool me again like his girl friends do ,if its like that never in my life I am going to fall but if he is no...t then.

"Richard ,you are kind of acting weird and different since from yesterday "I asked him but he didn't say anything and just kept on staring at me with the same smile that he showed earlier.

"okay!!!now you are making me insecure with that not so sweet smile of yours",I got off from the bed and went to my dressing table to grab a rubber band to tie my hair up. I tied up my hair into a bun and turn towards him and he is still the same,in his same position and that  same smile and staring at me like he is seeing me after thousands of years.

"stop staring at me like that,you really,really are making me insecure," I throw a cushion towards him but he dough it.

He then stood up and began to walk towards me .As he took one step ,I took a step back and we kept on doing that until my back hit the wall. The next thing that he asked me made me stumble a bit.

"I know everything about you but I want to know about one person from you"

"a-bout wh-o??"I asked as I stammered .

"Melvin ,I want to know about Melvin ,what he did to you,how he treated you? everything but particularly on those days when he first enrolled to our college",he stated with full of rage and seriousness in his tone.

I lowered my head and couldn't speak nor move because those tortures and abuses that they had done to me ,all came back to me .I really couldn't think of anything then I realised my tears were rolling down from my eyes.I felt his warm hand on my face rubbing my cheeks.

"Erica look at me...Erica "he ordered and I lift up my head and meet his eyes,he rubbed away my tears on my cheeks and said,"its fine ,if you don't want to talk about it ,now..."I cut him off and said,

"no,I can and I will"I really can't keep on being weak like this forever and its just a simple task I mean talk, I just have to tell him about my past that I have gone through all those years because of something which is not even my fault to begin with. 

I took a deep breath and nodded my head and said ,"mm...lets do it "when I said that he smiled but not a genuine one.

"where should I start ?okay from that night Melvin first broke into my room actually at that time I used to have a room with windows on both side of this walls but on that night everything change,Melvin and his friends broke inside my room and they kidnapped me ,they took me away and brought me inside an underground cave, where I think was  meeting place for them and they tied me up on the chair and began their abuses ,they punch me,kicked me and even beaten me with iron rod,I could hardly feel my body parts ,I was so tired after their tortures and I could barely  opened my eyes,I almost felt that I am about to die but then a hope of my survival appeared when my grandfather and his team came in and helped me out from there",Richard eyes was full of anger when I glance at him but I give a small smile thinking that he will relaxed a bit and then I continued again.

"After that incident,dad ,grandfather and some of my closed cousin decided to pull the bricks up on all my windows so that no one will take me away again,I didn't protest about the idea in fact I was way too happy with the idea but all my happiness faded away,when the very next day ,the people from the town began to march towards here and began their violence act demanding my parents to hand me over to them but when dad and mom refused them they all broke inside the house and began to massacre our house ,not only that they even dragged me out of the house and .....and...they abuses me with words as well as with their legs and hands all over me..."then tears  began to form in eyes I tried my best to push it away but it  all drain out on my cheeks ,I covered my face with my hand and began to sobbed hard, thinking of what had happened that afternoon outside my house.

Then I felt a hand wrapping around me,embracing me,patted my back to ease me but instead of relaxing I sobbed more hard.

"shh.....enough, stop crying!!!"he softly said.

"I-I wa-s recover-ing from my previous in-cident but th-they didn't care less to abused me I-can't take it any-anymore..."I grab his shirt tightly and began to sobbed hard.

"shh....stop crying,I am here for you now"he said and patted my back and my head.
