Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love XLIX
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

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

Among the silence that prevailed around her, enshrouding her haven with peace, the sudden interruption shook her to the core. The doorbell rang, signaling her about someone's appearance at the door. Her eyes stared blankly at the door of her room as she huffed, thinking who would be there at this hour. She bent a little as her hair dangled by her shoulder. She grabbed her jacket and put it on before she walked downstairs to open the door for the person. The silence was spread around her house as the visitor didn't knock twice. She was home alone, expecting nobody by her side, but as her father had many partners and guests visit him from time to time, she thought it would be one of them. However, her father wasn't even home. The sound of her footsteps could be heard as she walked downstairs, holding the railing. Another time the visitor interrupted her and she had no other way than to reply loudly, “Yeah, just coming!” as she walked to the door. She opened the door slightly and

“Tell me where your phone is,” the man asked her, the tone being gruff, holding a warning that she better not overlook, “Hm?” As he arched a brow up at her, signaling her to defy him and see the consequences, Delilah's heart was going crazy by the passing moment. She was pushed into a dangerous condition, she feared she might make a mistake that led the gangsters to her father and it would be worse than what was happening with her. Her thoughts were pushed towards her father and she knew if she decided to call her father, they'd force her to have a conversation with her father at the gunpoint. Though she wanted to save her father, she had no other way than to listen to the goons. “Girl, are you sleeping with your eyes open?” The man's sarcastic comment brought her out of deep thoughts in which she was immersed. She resisted to roll her eyes, knowing very well that the short-tempered men would not be able to handle that look on her face. “No,” the reply was quiet. “Your phone

A soft melody played, the sound lingering in the air. Anticipation was mixed in the silence and it made Delilah sweat while she awaited the future. She swallowed, heart beating wildly as the phone came in front of her, held by the man who stood before her wide open eyes. She looked at the picture of herself with her father that popped up on the screen along with bouncing buttons, asking for her permission to dismiss or answer. A drop of sweat rolled down her temple and she looked up at the man who stood in front of her. He looked back at her, into her big brown eyes. They were glossy and chaos swirled around those dark pupils. He wanted her answer, his features twisted into a scowl. His thumb lingered right above the green button, his intentions clear in his mind, but eyes remained on Delilah, trying to look through her. She was afraid. But he did not care. He proceeded to press the screen when she muttered, "You can't do that. We've nothing to do with you." His eyes narrowed a

She took refuge in the Lord's house. After tiring herself as she ran around to find a safe place to hide herself, she came to a calm area where the city church was located, surrounded by tall and large Neem trees. She stopped as she came near the tall building. Its white covering shone brightly under the sun's glow and that was the moment she took a deep breath. Panting and trying to catch her breath, she bent a little. Her palm landed over her stomach as she greedily breathed through her mouth while her eyes stared at the top of the building where the cross stood. Birds passed by and the sun glowed behind the intersection. Tears welled up in her bright brown eyes and she decided to walk inside, hiding her face from the bright, blinding sunlight. The chaser couldn't even imagine the place and Delilah was sure of it. Surely we think of God at such hard times but thinking of visiting His house really doesn't come to many's minds. Delilah found the place safe. Monday mornings alw

The car stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. That was her hideout. Waqas came out and Delilah followed him after. The guards bowed before him in respect and Delilah walked nearer to him, her left foot hurting the most.As soon as she stepped inside, Waqas led her toward a room upstairs. Delilah examined the place with her eyes, finding it larger than hers and shining as it was made up of white marble and tiles. A chandelier hung in the middle of the white ceiling, spreading a glow. Delilah marveled at the view as they walked through the corridor and finally, he stopped in front of a door.He clicked it open, saying, "This is your room."Delilah peered inside, finding it pleasant. The walls were painted beige and the glow inside the room was excellent. The way she favored. She didn't like darkness."Thank you," she said. He stepped aside with a nod so she could enter the room.She walked inside, inhaling the woody fragrance stuck within the walls. Waqas watched her from behind, his

Ashley commanded Delilah to leave the car because the tires were damaged. Even though her shoulder was harmed, she wasted no time leaving the car and taking Delilah along with her. They took the route ahead and had no other way than to run. Meanwhile, the length of the tram finished off and their chaser continued crossing the path. Seeing Ashley's car on the way, they descended to look inside and found nobody. "On legs? How far can they go?" One of the men spoke, chuckling as he neared their boss who was busy scrolling through his phone. "Can you track them?" He asked instead, voice gruff and deep as he went through some information. "Way too easily!" He scoffed, ordering his crew to catch the girl's location but they failed. Now it was their boss's turn to chuckle. But humorlessly. He knew about Ashley being a hacker. It wasn't easy to track her when she had her gadget in her grip. He wasn't omniscient, but his eyes caught how sharply she laid the pitfall of bollards and then '

“Where's she?” asked Nathaniel, sitting upright. His eyes were emotionless, set over his man, Carlos.

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
