Chapter 3 - Mysterious Stranger

Neha kept struggling to be free from that person's clutches but the person was stronger than her and in a swift motion, the person went inside her apartment while still holding her. The person locked the door with one hand while the other hand was still blocking her mouth from where her muffled screams were coming out.

"Shhhh…" He whispered huskily near her trying to shush her but she started struggling more and she dug her nails in his arms to break free but the pain didn't affect him at all.

"Calm down, I won't hurt you!" He whispered again but as she was terrified, tears made their way down her eyes and her mind got filled with terrifying thoughts like the person was going to kill her or worse rape her.

"Please, listen to me!" He tried pleading which he never did in his whole life but he had no choice as she wasn't stopping struggling.

"I promise, I won't hurt you. Just calm down and listen to me." He literally begged and waited for her to calm down which she did after sometime.

"Now, I am going to remove my hand from your mouth but don't scream, I hope I can trust you with that, can I?" He asked and she nodded her head like a little child after some time.

He removed his hand from her mouth and also removed his grip from her waist. At the same moment, the electricity came back and she moved back away from him panicking and when she looked at his face, a scream automatically escaped from her mouth.

In a swift motion, he again blocked her mouth with his hand while she kept looking at his face, not believing it was really him! How could that be possible?

She is getting to meet the same stranger from four years ago! Is it a coincidence or destiny?

"I told you not to scream." He spoke, gritting his teeth, not able to hold his anger anymore.

They heard some shuffles outside the apartment and he motioned her to be quiet as he knew who was outside!

"I have seen him getting inside this building, he must be here only!" One of the goons said to the other ones, looking here and there while standing outside of Neha's apartment.

"Maybe but we can't check the apartments. What if someone calls the police? It won't be good for us." Another goon said.

"Let's go outside and keep an eye on this area. For how long will he hide? Sooner or later, he will come out and we will parcel his dead body to our boss." Another one said and everyone agreed laughing.

They went away from there while that man and Neha heard everything from inside and she couldn't understand anything of whatever was happening! So she lightly tapped on his shoulder to get his attention as he was still looking towards the door, trying to know if the path was clear or not.

He looked at her and she cutely motioned him to free her mouth by tapping on his hand.

"How should I believe that you won't scream again?" He asked her in a not so gentle tone while she kept looking at his beautiful brown eyes with her big black eyes.

She again tapped on his hand, saying she won't scream so he let go of her mouth but this time slowly.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Who are those people that are after you? How did you get hurt? Did someone shoot you? And, why do you have a gun? Are you a goon too? Are you here to kill me? What will you get by killing me? Why are you trying to kill me?" She kept blabbering in one breath and he regretted removing his hand from her mouth.

Though she wasn't screaming, her nonstop questions ate his mind in just a short time and he felt like getting unconscious.

"Answer me!" She shouted while he wanted to ask if she lost her brain somewhere.

"If you let me speak then I will answer!" He spoke and he looked at his left shoulder which was bleeding heavily as he was shot there.

"I will answer all your questions but I gotta treat myself first." He spoke wincing in pain a little bit and she got worried as the wound looked very deep.

"Quickly get me a first aid box!" He ordered her and moved towards the couch to rest there as he couldn't stand anymore.

She started panicking while moving around in the whole house trying to find the first aid box, with her heart still pounding in fear as a stranger was in her house who wasn't really a stranger as he was lurking in her mind and heart from the past four years. She finally found the first aid box in her cupboard and she quickly took it to him who was resting on the couch with his eyes closed.

His face screamed danger but he was looking like a Greek God to her with that perfectly sculpted features. She could die for that perfect jawline and those muscular veiny hands which were popping out of his perfectly ironed white shirt.

She was sure that white shirt was hiding the most perfect abs in the world. How good it would feel when he would be grabbing her neck with those veiny hands while he would be pounding deep inside her making her scream in pleasure!

She shook her head from her sinful thoughts inspired from the erotic novels she reads as she heard his painful groan. She quickly placed the first aid box in the tea table and nudged his shoulder to gain his attention.

"Quickly get me a clean knife." He ordered her again and she gulped going towards the kitchen while wondering what if he tries to kill her with the knife?

Stupid, when he has a gun to kill you then why would he ask for a knife? She scolded herself and got the knife from the kitchen.

"Now, disinfect it using the cleaning disinfectant!" He instructed her and she quietly obeyed him.

"Now, take out the bullet using the knife." He spoke and got goosebumps.

"What? No, I can't do it." She told him with shivering hands.

"Please, do it quickly. I have already lost a lot of blood!" He requested and she agreed with a thudding heart and did everything as he said.

She took out the bullet and bandaged the wound properly.

"Where is the bathroom?" He asked and she took him inside her room, showing the bathroom.

"Make me a coffee!" He ordered her and went inside the bathroom while she kept glaring at the closed door.

"Does he take me as his maid?" She fumed in anger but still went to the kitchen to make coffee for him.

After making coffee for him, she kept it on the tea table and started waiting for him. When she heard his footsteps, she looked towards her room to see him appearing only in a fucking towel?

Her mouth hung open looking at his finely sculpted abs and that sexy v line took her to her sinful thoughts once again!
