My heart was throbbing fast, and I can feel how my head throbs reluctantly because of Sharmon’s tight grip and pulling. Yes. The one who was following is Sharmon.
I tried to struggle, hoping that I can break free from her hands, but I failed. I think Sharmon’s strength doubled from the last time she wanted to kill me.
“Finally. I’m holding your life again, biatch.”
She said as she put all her force on grabbing and pushing me to the ground. My body hits on floor, giving me pain in my back and nape. I tried to stand, but I think the bones on my legs were affected. It was in excruciating pain that made me groan secretly.
I was too tired at the Bar earlier because there are many customers to serve; that’s why my body was doubled in pain. Sharmon took her steps to me and stomped me with all her might. I feel like everything I ate went up.
“This is wha
Reign cupped my cheeks as he was holding a gun. Our body was wet, and he gently sat on the ground while carrying me in his arms, making my body lying on his lap.“I’m sorry.”Reign said while sticking our wet forehead together. I did answer because my body is weak, and I want to recover my fallen energy. He hugged me tight, making me facing his neck.“I almost come late. Thank God,” he then kissed my forehead as he caressed my hair.“How did you find me?” Reign stared at me with worried eyes.“I tracked your phone,” he then caresses my cheeks, “Thank you for calling.”I no longer spoke, closing my eyes while in his arms. My body weakened. All I want to do right now is fall into Reign’s arms. I feel safe and secured. He gave me this feeling that I can rest my mind b
“Do you like this?”“No.”“How about this?”“Not either. I don’t like strawberries.”“Chocolate?”“Sort of. Maybe that’ll work.”“Okay. Just wait for a second, and I will put some chocolate ice cream in a bowl.”I nodded then Reign walks out from my sight. I let out a deep sigh. It’s been three days since the incident happen where I almost lost my life again on Sharmon’s hands and was saved by Reign.After that night, Reign told his men to find Sharmon, but she’s already gone in the City. They tracked her and got the information that she already flees out to foreign countries. Reign wanted to follow Sharmon with his connections, but I stopped him.Since she’s already
“Oh, stop that, sweety. You just had surgery last week, and you need to take a rest for the whole three months.”I muttered when Russiana pulled her things out from the bag, “But I want to study, Ruru,” she sadly said. Is sigh and sat on matching her height. I reached for her cheeks and gently cupped them as I stared at her eyes.“There’s a time for that, okay? Ruru already asked your teacher about your leave of absence for five months. They agreed because of your health issues. Do you want me to get mad at you?” Russiana shrugged her head gently, “That’s good, then listen to Ruru, okay?” she nodded. I brought my lips to her forehead and planted a kiss in there.After Russiana put her things back inside the bag, we got out of her room. I looked at her as I hold her tiny hands. I can’t stop smiling, and my heart was now at rest from being
“Where are you?” Reign asked from the other line while my phone was in between my ear and my shoulder. I was currently at a Department Store, holding two paper bags. “I’m at a store.” “What store?” “It’s a secret.” “Ruchee.” “I’m doing an important thing. Gotta go. See you later; I love you.” I did not wait for Reign’s response and immediately turned off the phone, so he couldn’t contact and disturb me later. I might spill out everything I have of my plan. I sigh and then looked at the saleslady in front of me. “Would you like to make that on our special room, ma’am?” I nodded then smiled at the saleslady. “That would be great.” After she showed me and take me to the room she’s talking about, the saleslady left. There are some people inside the room, and when I

Two years ago, Reign and I decided to build our own home. Of course, I insist that I will share the expenses since I still have my savings for Russiana’s operation.

I opened my eyes, and my vision was dark. Something was covering my eyes. I was blindfolded. I felt the sweat flowing from my forehead down to my cheeks. My chest was throbbing so fast that it seemed it could explode any second. I can hear so much noise coming from the outside where I currently was. It annoys my ear, and the smell of the place is somewhat nasty. I don’t know, but different scents are hovering around coming from cigarettes, alcohol, and there’s one unfamiliar but disgusting smell. This place suffocates me and a little cold. I tried to remember what happened earlier and why I ended here. Maybe, it’s already five hours after what happened, or I’m not sure how many hours had passed. I just remembered walking out from the bar I’m working on, then suddenly, someone grabbed and forced me to enter a black car. I moaned. My nape suddenly hurts. Whoever did this to me, I’m sure that this
“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked when the two of them grab both of my arms, but it was gentle, like they were giving me extra care. I suddenly felt throwing up. Oh, this again. My head was spinning a little. Is it because of the noisy environment or the nasty mixed smells? I’m working at the bar and used to the smells of alcohol, but that was a luxurious one where tight regulations existed. “Just come with us,” man number one said and then dragged me along with their pace when they started walking in the door’s direction. Struggling won’t help. I feel my body getting weak as we’re getting near the door. The two men escorted me like I was a president’s first lady. I’m puzzled about everything. This unfamiliar place and the reason behind this abduction. What’s my obligation to be put in this tight spot of trouble? As far as I can remember, I don’t have any de
I opened my eyes. Clanking glasses and chatters greeted my consciousness. It was like earlier, when I gained and found myself at an unfamiliar place. The only difference is I’m not blindfolded. My head was in pain when I tried to look up. It’s strange. I badly want to move, but my body is frozen to the ground. What’s happening? Surprisingly, I found myself chained. My hands were tied upward by chains while my body pinned in this metal wall, and I’m still wearing lingerie. I started roaming my eyes, and there, I found myself in a dark place again. Surrounded by black linen curtains and chained on a metal wall, what are they planning? Do we have a ritual? Sacrificial? Is voodoo still exist in this era of twenty? My situation was becoming hilarious. I can also feel something on my face. Was I wearing a mask? That explains why I had this nar

It’s been four days since Reign and I have our last talk. As I said, he did not show his face in front of me; instead, he sends the twins to the apartment. I didn’t refuse because they were already there when I came home from work three days ago. I also didn’t expect them to take a room next to us.For the past few days, I tried not to think about Reign, but I failed. Everything I do reminds me of him. I no longer feel angry with him, but my chest aches. Maybe because of what I found out.Honestly, I’m not really displeased. I was just too surprised. I wanted to see Reign talk to him and hug him, but first, I had to consider whether I could face and listen to Reign’s admission.I sigh and cast out every thought I have and started walking out of the Nursing Laboratory. Since it’s Wednesday, we just finished our laboratory performing how to extract blood from a patient.
“Are you sick, Ruru?” Russiana asked behind me. I was lying on the bed while covered with a blanket.“No, I’m fine, sweety.”“Are you sure? Your voice is hoarse, Ruru. You sound like an old woman.”“No, don’t come near Ruru. I’m having a cold. You might catch it,” I reasoned when I felt Russiana take her body to the bed where I was lying on. I don’t want her to see my face. It was already swollen with tears last night.Fortunately, Russiana was asleep with Thraia, so they didn’t notice my sudden arrival. When I remembered what happened last night, I couldn’t help but cry. I immediately restrained myself because my sister might hear my soft sobs.“Okay. I will ask Thraia to make a soup for you.”“Thank you, sweety,” I felt my little sister&rs
“How did you know about this place?” I asked Reign with amusement as I was cutting the beefsteak on my plate. He just smiled, and he fills his mouth while looking at me. I just shrugged my head. He’s been staring since we seated at this table.“It’s a recommendation from Gab. I rent the whole place so that we can have our privacy. Did you like it?”My jaw dropped because of how he casually said rent, but I just nodded while casting out that shocked expression of mine, “Yes. I love it. I did not expect that this place existed.”“I should give Gab a pat on the head.”“Why?”“Because you liked the place.”We’ve talked about a lot of things while spending dinner alone together. I asked Reign about what I was curious about, but there’s one thing I can’t spil
