The following day, by the time Giselle had woken up, Ezra was already gone, trying his best to leave the earliest and return as quick as he could.Since she didn’t have to go to work, Giselle laid in bed for an hour extra, getting used to a house without Ezra and coming to terms with her brooding feelings, again.“I’m in love.” She mumbled out, feeling her heart rate speed up at the thought of it. She sighed and dragged her hand up her face, running it through her hair.“Fuck.” Picking up her phone, she unlocked the screen and checked her email box, almost scowling when she saw a notification from Netflix, informing her of her subscription.Then she went ahead to reply Evelyn, who she found herself grinning gleefully at her every message. Although several of them were series of worried texts, the brunette found it quite reassuring that someone worried over her so much.After spending a few more minutes on her bed, the brunette got up and ready for her visit to the hospital.She beamed
Giselle didn’t need to be told twice.The person approaching her was dangerous. No good was going to come out from standing around. She needed to move.And that she did.Turning on her heels, Giselle dashed in the opposite direction with amazing speed.Panting heavily, the brunette kept her direction straight, trying to reach the elevator that led out of the parking lot as quick as she could.Every once in a while, she would glance back, making sure that the suspicious figure wasn’t following her.Although, when she had broken into a sprint, she couldn’t hear a second following footstep, so she assumed that they weren’t following her, but the brunette didn’t dare to slow down. Fear kept her feet moving forward.Glancing back once again, she saw no one, her heart felt relieved as she was closer to the elevator, just needing to turn a single corner before seeing her safe exit.But it wasn’t going to be that easy. Just as she turned the corner, Giselle felt something slam into her ankle
Giselle woke up to a sharp pain at the side of her temple. She didn’t like it and groaned, trying to reach her hand up to graze the spot, only to find the movement impossible.Iron chains held her hand tight to a chair and as she looked down, examining it, a frown painted her beautiful face.“What the hell!” She roared but instantly regretted it as the pain in her temple doubled.Bad choice.The brunette hissed in pain and sighed before allowing her eyes wander the disoriented room.Barely any window to let light or air in, faded walls, dust covered floor, a single iron chair placed in a far corner, which had rust and looked like several people had used it for many generations and a murky smell dancing around the room.She scrunched up her nose, feeling her body break out in disgust.The sound of clapping filled her ears from behind and the brunette struggled against her with strains.In the midst of all her struggles, the individual behind her spoke out and her blood ran dry.“It’s g
Two hours? Three hours?Giselle wasn’t sure how long she sat alone in the dimly lit room, staring at the blank wall as her mouth cried for some form of liquid.During her time of solitude, her mind pondered what Raquel could have meant, and each time she came face to face with a dead end, a frustrated scream would rip from her throat, bouncing around the damp walls of her capture room.As time went on, Giselle began to lose hope.In the first few hours, she had hoped that some sort of miracle would happen, that Ezra would just pop up and rip the chain off her arms then carry her in his arms like he always did each time she ended up in some type of trouble.But he didn’t show. And that weighed heavily on her heart.‘Why should he come? I’m not worth it.’ Giselle hung her head at the thought, her heart throbbed painfully at the slightest thought that Ezra might have abandoned her.With a saddened and troubled heart, she mumbled out underneath her breath. “This sucks.”********Ezra, rig
Voices. Familiar once at that.Giselle could hear them and knew who they’d belonged to even without opening her eye.She felt her body being lifted from its place on the floor. Warmth engulfed her, a feeling contrary to the temperature dropping damp room.Feeling a familiar warmth and body embrace, the brunette relaxed, relief finally washing over her entire being and her mind being put at easy.She slightly stirred in the embrace, pushing her body as close as she could, wanting to feel more of his heat and presence.At that, the grip around her tightened in a reassuring manner.It was far more reassuring than she had expected. The amount of care and compassion she was getting from a single hug alone, melted the remaining walls of her heart, giving way for the feeling she had tired to surprise.Just before falling back into her slumber, a small smile spread across her lips as she thought. ‘Ezra came.’Indeed he did.********~One Hour Earlier~Ezra impatiently tapped his foot inside t
Slowly stirring, Giselle woke up to the sound of distant beeping of hospital machines.It was probably sometime close to midnight when she opened her eyes.Voices of hospital nurses and patients filed her ears. The smell of disinfectant and hospital wash hung around her like a thick cloud, making the brunette scrunch up her nose as she attempt to sit up, only to stop half way as she felt a banging headache.Deciding not to fight against the headache and stay down, Giselle scanned the room with her eyes.It looked to be a private ward. The top class ones.An in built bathroom, a small table in the corner, a rather comfortable mattress, which she was currently lying on, and a fifty five inch television hanging opposite her bed.It was like the deluxe version of a hospital room, one that Giselle had never gotten the luxury to enjoy, up until now.The sound of the room door opening caught her attention. Turning her head towards the direction, Giselle watched with a slightly stunned expres
Giselle sat still with her green eyes trained on Ezra’s hazel ones. For the briefest of seconds her brain went numb, almost as if it was incapable of giving a suitable response to Ezra’s request.Seconds had pasted before Giselle broke away from her statue like figure, blinking furiously as her mouth slowly opened as if she wanted to say something, then she closed it back, then repeated the same action a few more times.During this short period of silence, Ezra felt his heart stuck in his throat. Several negative thoughts roamed his mind.‘What if she says no?’ Was one of those thoughts. ‘What if she insists to leave this as purely a contractual relationship? Does she feel the same way I do?’Ezra’s fist subconsciously gripped the bedsheet, bringing wrinkles to the fine floral bed spread.‘Please, say something.’ Ezra thought, already feeling the silence tear at his heart.Was this going to have a bad outcome?Giselle’s eyes averted from his, scanning everywhere in the room.It’s not
~Two weeks ago~Giselle sat at the outer bank of a beach that had been rented out for a whole day. It was only her and a few other permitted people that were present on the luxury high class beach.At first, on receiving such an invitation from her mother-in-law, the blonde had wondered how it would be possible to rent out a whole beach and even have means of blocking the news from reach the ears of the media, as not to spoil their little fun outing, but she soon came to know that Jasmine Heinrich, is a Heinrich.Money and power can basically do anything.Giselle watched as the current propelled water, gushed onto the banks, close to her feet and once again claimed her miniature drawing, for the third time today.The girl huffed out in annoyance and tossed her broken branch into her sand before causing the sea with every ounce of insult she knew in her vocabulary.She heard a snort from behind and whipped her head in the direction. Glaring angry daggers at the only person she saw, who
