Chapter 5

I slowly back away while shaking my head in fear.

This can’t be. H-how is this possible? Am I talking with the wrong person this whole time? Just when I thought my life would be completely okay because of him sudden turns of events surprised me.

I have a lot of question in my mind. How did this letter got here? It’s obvious that this is his hand writing. Could it be that my mother brought this letter here in my room? I shake my head. But that’s impossible since my good for nothing mother teared the letter right in front of me.

So, it’s hopeless for her to let me see this. Unless…

My eyes widened and I suddenly drop the letter on the ground. I scoop away from it while thinking of horrible things that could happen.

He escaped from prison…and he’s on his way here. If this letter came here inside my room. Does that mean-

Suddenly, the door burst open in my room causing me to jump in surprise. I glanced at the door, thinking it was Adam. My heart beat quickened at the thought as I was curious and terrified at the same time what he looks like.

The figure slowly steps inside my room. His build is immense, has broad shoulders and is towering me like a boulder compared to an ant. For some unknown reason, I feel unsafe from his presence. It speaks peril.

As if I have to run away from him.

The figure stopped from moving. I couldn’t see his face because my room is dark. It doesn’t have any electricity or even a candle. My room is cold and gloomy. I swallowed the lump in my throat when he slowly leaned his face closer.

However, my whole world tumble apart when I saw it wasn’t Adam who is inside my room.

It’s my mom’s lover.

“Well, well…you’re still alive, eh?”

The thunder strike again. The wind and rain outside were causing havoc around the neighborhood. I watched in terror while looking at the man in front of me when the night sky created a rumbling noise that can make anyone shriek from their spot.

what is he doing here?

The man tilted his head to the side, giving me a chilling look.

“I thought you were dead earlier when your mother beat you up in front of your house. But I was wrong. I guess you’re a one tough cookie.”

He raised his hand, trying to caressed my cheek. It made my body shudder in disgust and I automatically backed away even if my body is debilitated. His presence is telling me something that I don’t want to know.

“P-please get out…”

He shake his head, giving me a deadly smile. The lightning struck from the sky, and when a light appeared I saw clearly how intense and full of lecherousness his eyes were.

“Your life doesn’t matter anymore. You’re nothing but a piece of trash that can be thrown out after you are used.”

The next thing I heard he was unbuckling his belt.

“Let’s give your life a meaning before you die.”

Before I could escape, he grabbed my arms. I was about to scream for help but he covered my mouth, silencing me. I am afraid for my life because I have no chance compared to him.

I tried to fight and struggle from his grip but he was stronger than me. My already bruised body weakened even more when he punched me in the stomach. What happened made me completely dizzy from the pain.

I can't open my eyes anymore because my vision is spinning. He was not satisfied yet. He slapped my face one after another while one hand defiantly crawled on my lower body.

I want to beg him to stop but I know that no matter what I do, I am nothing against him. Instead, I heard his laughter echo throughout the room. I opened one of my eyes and caught him holding my underclothes.

He was very blissful while observing my body. I just closed my eyes and let him do what he wanted.

Just like he said. My life has no meaning anymore. Everything is broken in me and it will not be easy to rebuild.

“Don’t worry, little girl. This will be quick and after this you’re going to meet hell.”

I wanted to cry but no tears fell from my eyes. I don't feel any other emotions either. It's like in an instant I lost the strength to fight for my life. I opened my eyes one last time to see what he was going to do to me.

All my life I have never felt the slightest bit of love from people around me. I always have felt pain, sorrow and sadness all my life.

Perhaps…I deserve this.

“You’re going to enjoy this, I promise you.” he whispered maniacally against my ear.

I didn't say anything and just let him.

This is it…I’m going to die.

I was staring on the ceiling, waiting for him to do what he was planning but I felt nothing. I didn’t mind it at first but I realized he wasn’t on top of me anymore. It felt strange so I slowly looked at the man…

But what I witnessed frightens me.

The man, who was about to harassed me, was floating in the air. His legs were kicking as if he’s trying to fight but no avail. I heard a loud cracking sound and at the same time he fell to the floor.

He’s not breathing anymore.

Suddenly, my whole system shiver and the hairs on my body stood up. I didn't realize that someone had entered my room.

I felt his presence in front of me. Nervous and scared, I slowly raised my face to see who killed the man who almost harassed me.

What come up to me were his dangerous and terrifying eyes. The lightning hit the sky once again that gave me a glint what he looks like.

A god.

“I’m sorry I’m late, darling.”
