Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love X
P A S T T I M E . . . The difference she found now in Nathaniel spoke volumes of what he used to be with her when they were together in a beautiful relationship. How could she forget him so easily? It wasn't in her hands. When they were together, she devoted herself to their relationship, vowing to always be loyal and loving to him. She learned it that way. Love was everything to her, and still is, but after Nathaniel broke her heart, she considered it a mistake to trust him. However, she never cursed the day they met each other. No matter how things went in her life, whether they were right or wrong, in her favor or unfavorable, she never let her tongue say anything wrong about her life. For her, her life was always good because it was in the hands of her Lord. She always praised Him for everything that happened in her life because it led to good only. She trusted Him. As written in the verse, For those who love God all things work together for good, become alive to her. It wa

P A S T T I M E . . . "You can come inside mine, then. How's it?" Delilah wasn't sure if she heard him right. She couldn't believe it until she listened to him twice because such a big favour from a stranger was something unpredictable and unacceptable. Strangers aren't so nice to strangers unless they have an evil intention or something to demand. Her face held the expression of her heart. She stared at him, dumbfounded before she whispered, "What?" He sighed, realizing she wasted almost three minutes just to have him repeat for her. "I said you can come inside my room for tonight," he repeated, pushing a hand into the pocket of his trousers. Her eyebrows raised and she hurried to reply, "N-No, why should I trouble you?" She threw an excuse, while in reality, she didn't trust him enough to share a room with him. That was obvious. "You think you can trouble me?" That shut her mouth. "I have two beds and. . ." He narrowed his eyes on her as he added, "If you're afraid, you can

P A S T T I M E . . . "Dad, I'll be back soon!" Delilah uttered as she went downstairs with swift steps, holding the strap of her bag on her shoulder. "Of course, be back before six, okay?" said her father as he emerged from the kitchen, holding a water bottle that was opened. His hair was a mess on his head as he just woke up after working till dawn. She stopped near the couch in their main hall, holding the headboard as she stared at her father in confusion. He never said anything like that. "Any reason?" She asked, nearing her father who nodded his head as he too neared his daughter. "We're having a guest tonight." "I see. Formal?" "Yes. My boss," he answered with a smile, patting her cheek lovingly. She smiled back. "Okay, I'll be back before six then." She leaned in to kiss his cheek and made her way out. Judas didn't mention much about his boss, knowing that his daughter never found interest in his business matters. She wouldn't even come out when he had meetings in his

P A S T T I M E . . . The following morning, the day was bright and hot. Yawning and patting her mouth, her soft slippers rubbed against the wooden floor of her room. The edge of her white silly pajama almost kissed the ground as she walked up to the sliding doors and grabbed the curtains of her room to push them aside. Darkness vanished the moment her curtains slid away, followed by the doors that made a rough sound. She sighed and stepped out of the white-painted boundary, looking up at the sky which was bright blue. The sun was high, shining with all its might and spreading a glow and warmth that was high enough to torture anybody. "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Speaking out what the Word of God said was her habit every morning. She always did it, never minding if something wrong happened that day because all the while, the supernatural peace inside her helped her fight every single battle. The perfect peace of God inside her was some

P A S T T I M E . . . "Are you serious, Del? A pet? Just because I pamper you doesn't mean I'll allow you to have a pet, okay?" Delilah pursed her lips, holding her hands behind her back as she gazed at the floor blankly. There was nothing beautiful except for the white and red designed Persian mattress and the feet of her father. The neatness of the floor reflected the gorgeousness of the chandelier hanging on the ceiling. But her mind was on her father's words. She wanted him to keep the pup she found this evening but Judas wasn't allowing her to. Delilah knew she couldn't lie to her father and the thought of hiding the pup in her room was a far-fetched one. The healthy relationship between her and her father never allowed her to take advantage of her father's love so she directly went to show her father the puppy she found on the way back home. She came home and bathed the puppy carefully. After the little life was cleansed from dirt, she could see how weak and thin it was.
Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love XV
P A S T T I M E . . . Stay away from him. For Delilah, it wasn't really hard to get away from her naive crush, her next-door neighbor, also known as her father's boss, because it was just the beginning of it. Her liking towards him hadn't started growing roots so she very easily could pull off the very small bud it started becoming. After the small conversation between her father and her about his boss, they had dinner and the day ended like that. However, the next morning, she was prepared to react the way her father wanted her to. Delilah wasn't a robot to do as her father said. It was just her love for her father that made her see the concern in his eyes and she obeyed him. She knew he could find better for him and she knew if he was warning her, it wasn't for nothing She got ready for her college, wearing a white top and black jeans. She did her hair as usual and grabbed her jacket and knapsack to leave. Her father greeted her lovingly like every time she left him in the ca
Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love XVI
P A S T T I M E . . . One thing Delilah never expected after letting her father's boss do anything was criticism from her classmates and the students wandering around her. That one day allowed him to pick up or drop her at the college anytime he wanted to. It wasn't regular. He proposed his wish to drop her at the college anytime he would see her. She noticed how he was becoming bold day by day, but she didn't know he did as he pleased. Nothing could stop him. However, Delilah was worried about her father's reaction. Judas never said a word to her but he was watching everything that his boss was doing. Sometimes, to escape his offer, Delilah decided to leave her house even before sunrise. She would stop at some cafe or library to spend her time before leaving for college. The idea saved her but not every time. He could see her using very flimsy ideas that he could break in a click of his fingers but he knew a better way to win her. He saw she wasn't someone to be handled by vi
Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love XVII
P A S T T I M E . . . Delilah sighed as she entered her room. It was around midnight when she entered her room after coming back from Theodore's place. It was a nice meeting. Theodore didn't try to make any move. As he said, his mother was fond of Delilah in a few words of kindness. She liked the young woman but had no idea what her son was brewing up in his head for Delilah. Delilah couldn't say she enjoyed but the meeting wasn't boring either. Theodore's younger brother was fun, receiving all attention. Now when she was in her bedroom, she slowly made her way inside and turned the lights on. With a deep sigh, she let herself find rest in her bed as she lay down for a few minutes. The eyes of her admirer were on her the moment she entered the walls; the boss of her father. From his room, he could see her. But not anymore, as she was on her bed, which was behind the wall. He kept his eyes there, jaw clenched and eyes narrowed. His hand held his phone close to his ear and the wo

3 MONTHS LATER It was four in the morning when Delilah woke up Nathaniel by clutching his arm tightly. Her cries reached his ears and he quickly got up, panicked as he saw his wife bearing the pain alone. The discomfort was on her face, twisted in an ache that troubled her abdomen. She asked him to call someone and he decided to call an ambulance but she denied it. She told him that she wouldn't be able to tolerate the pain for so long. She just wanted him to call the women servants. She trusted them enough. He was reluctant but obeyed her. The servants came hurriedly and surrounded Delilah. Nathaniel walked outside the room, not really wanting to leave his wife on her own. But he had to trust the servants as Delilah did. However, one thing he surely did; was pray. He prayed for her. It didn't matter how many hours the ladies took, he was engrossed in her thoughts and putting his concern before God. The men around watched him doing so. They prayed along, having become u

3 MONTHS LATER She pressed on her toes, trying to reach the jar. Her arm stretched forth to get it but she failed, making her scowl. Then he came. His fresh scent met her senses, enveloping her from behind. He smelled of pine and neem, his musk was attractive. His warmth surrounded her when his chest pressed against her back, making her realize how close he stood. His arm rested beside her, grabbing the slab. With another arm, he grabbed the jar that was put inside the cabinet. His body pressed lightly against hers before he moved back, leaving the jar on the slab beside her hand. She took it, turning around. “Thank you,” she said, looking up at him as he stood tall right behind her. “How many times have I told you not to do such things, Del?” he scolded her lightly, putting both his arms on either side of her, leaning closer. His soft and cold breath fell on his face. He had just taken a shower and was now downstairs, yet his muscles exuded a warmth that could turn anyone blin

“Where's she?” asked Nathaniel, sitting upright. His eyes were emotionless, set over his man, Carlos. He stood there beside his bed, holding his hands before him, head bowed in respect and fear of Nathaniel, his master.After two days of unconsciousness and treatment that helped his head a bit, he gained consciousness, and the first question he asked was— about Delilah, his lovely wife.He couldn't forget that night when they were attacked and he fought as long as could. However, they won over the situation and left him to die there.However, as Delilah was constantly trying to call Carlos, the line was connected when a man attacked her.

Delilah's eyes opened but her lips kept moving. She felt a presence beside her but she paid no heed to it. She moved aside from the prayer mat and rolled it. She grabbed it to put it aside. Fortunately, when she asked that man for a mat, he provided her with one without saying a word of mockery. She was glad about it. Wherever she went, she wasn't going to give up on her prayer. She moved around the room to put aside the mat along with the Bible when the person uttered from behind, “How long are you going to ignore me?”She didn't answer. She didn't even hurry to look at the person but took her time arranging back her things. She then turned around and found her in the room, looking pissed off. She didn't say a word. Couldn't. Finding her at her abductor's house wasn't a normal thing. It was another surprise she received the other day. It's been three days since she was found to be in someone else's house. Horrible!“What are you doing here?” could only ask Delilah, keeping her ey

Her eyes watered as she stared down at her husband. Blood, getting mixed with the dripping water, was flowing around him. His eyes were closed, eyelashes all wet by the rain and blood. Her heart squeezed inside her chest as she looked at him, tears flowing down her cheeks. The water falling from above drenched her, letting no trace of tears remain on her face.She covered her mouth, her eyes falling shut. She couldn't believe he was dead. He couldn't die; he couldn't leave her alone. How much she loved him, only to see the night of his demise? No, she never waited for it. How much she prayed for this man, not to see him like that. What could she even say to her God? She had no word of complaint but only sorrow that kept growing inside her chest like a deadly plant, poisoning her from inside. How could she bear the pain of being left alone by her very other half? Surely, she had God by her side, but what about the life she cherished so close to her heart? What about the promises

“Happy birthday,” said her husband, his eyes glowing with warmth for his wife as he looked down at her.She blinked her eyes, adjusting her gaze to look at her husband who was looming over her. He looked happy. His smile was soft. “God bless me,” she mumbled, sitting upright. He chuckled. “God bless you,” he asserted, cocking a brow. Sitting beside her on the bed's edge, he let his eyes behold his wife. “What can I do for you today?” She blinked her eyes, realizing how rich was her husband by his heart to offer something like that to her. He put a great offer before her but added in a moment, “Except for leaving Mafia.” She couldn't help but smile, shaking her head. “I wasn't going to ask for it,” she admitted honestly. However, she wanted it to happen. She knew there would be other ways, too.Her God was able. He nodded his head. “What is it then?” “Let's do something good today. That God will like,” were her words before she left the bed. Her husband was left confused behind.

“Grandpa,” said Nathaniel, his voice soft and alluring to Edgar's ears. The man looked up at the door and smiled. The caretaker also found Nathaniel and his wife at the door and moved to help Edgar in sitting. This time the old man didn't complain. He rather thanked the young man. “Nate,” Edgar said, raising an arm to call his grandson closer. The couple walked over to the old man and Nathaniel sat beside him. “How are you doing?” asked his grandson.“As you see,” Edgar shrugged. He then looked up at Delilah who stood behind Nathaniel and gestured to her to sit on the chair near him. She obeyed, smiling at him. He smiled back.Nathaniel nodded his head. “I wanted to tell you something,” he said, glancing at Delilah.The caretaker decided to leave the room, giving them a moment of privacy. “What is it?” Edgar asked, his gentle eyes set on his son. “We're expecting a baby,” Nathaniel was the one to reveal. Edgar blinked, surprised. A smile was spread on his lips. He looked at Del

Her eyes fell upon her arm and she saw it was bleeding. The flow of the blood was faster as it began staining her satin violet sleeve. She trembled, looking at the blood. A few of the drops fell to the floor and she struggled to sit upright when another time something entered her room sharply, gaining her attention. She looked at the wall behind herself and saw how a bullet had fallen to the ground.Her eyes widened as realization dawned upon her. Someone was targeting her from some distance outside their house. She needed to hurry and leave the room as soon as possible. Holding the wound tightly, she got up and ran to the door of her room. She closed it with a bang and leaned against it, taking deep breaths.The warm blood oozing out from the deep wound on her arm was sliding down her skin. It hurt too bad and she had no strength to walk ahead. However, she saw Carlos enter the house with a gun along with other men following closely behind him.The men scattered around. He looked
