Chapter 10: Chapter 10

" Well sad for you darling, you can not fucking leave me for a month. I own you so shut that mouth of yours. " He booms, leaving his seat and pushing his upper body on my seat.

Cutting the distance between us, he comes extremely close. I can see the immense anger in those white orbs.

" The month will end Me. Enrique. " I chirp, still not aware of my situation. Shut your mouth Emma, before Mr. Enrique eats you alive!

" Not if I don't want to. " He comments, with an evil grin.

What is that supposed to mean?

" Wh..what is that supposed to mean? " I stutter.

" Little one don't you know? I can extend the contract if I want to, up to 5 years, with an extra sum paid. Someone should have read the contract. " He breaks it to me, slowly coming closer to my neck. His breath falls like feathers on my neck.

" You won't do that...no please " I beg, not wanting to take this torture for more than a month.

He rolls his eyes at my plea.

" Get out. Now. " He orders, backing off.

" What? It's raining cats and dogs outside. " I would get out the moment I could, but the rain is too extreme. There is even light hail.

" Fucking get out, I tried to be nice to you and this is what I get in return. " He screams, losing his temper, banging the horn.

I get out hurriedly, maybe I shouldn't have said that. He will extend the contract and make my life miserable! I can't take all the shouting and screaming and his anger for more than a month.

It's too much!

His car drives away leaving me in an unknown place with heavy rain. I even forgot my purse in the office.

I walk a little before a car slows down.

" Hey Emma, why are you walking in the rain? " The voice screams from outside the car. I look beside it to see it is John.

" Get in. " He says.

I look around and then get in.

" What happened? " He questions puzzled.

" Our dear boss left me stranded here while my purse is in the office. " I explain.

" Mr. Noah is a little stern. He has been that way with the employees but that is just too much. Why don't you find another job? " John asks.

I wish I could.

" I can't. It's a little complicated. "

Just then the car halts, another car just over crossed us and stopped in front of us.

The man gets out and it is no other than Mr. Noah Enrique. Gosh I'm so happy to see him ( Note the sarcasm. )

Noah strides towards us with long steps and opens the door on my side, not so gently.

" Get out Emma. " He says with such a dominating look in his eyes that I get out without any complaints. You wouldn't want to mess with him, not when he is angry.

He grabs my arm and roughly shoves me into his car. He gets in and starts driving away.

" What was the first thing in the contract? " He asks, gritting his teeth, looking at the road intensely.

" I don't know.." I whisper scared.

" It was to stay away from men, not to come in contact with any because I am a possessive man and it angers me to such an extent when I see my woman with another man. " He shouts at the top of his lungs, his veins popping out.

" Noah...you're scaring me. " I whisper scared.

Realization dawns upon him and his facial expression changes. I guess the broken engagement had a tool on him.

He drives in silence, no more questioning or scaring me. He finally stops the car in front of my house.

I get off the car and he does too. I raise a brow at him.

" I have to dry myself. " He says as a matter of fact.

We both go in and I change my clothes. He changes his clothes too, he had spare ones in his car.

Just then the rain gets even worse and hail starts to worsen.

" Guess I'm staying here. " He says with a smile, what happened to Mr. Angry? Why does he want to stay here? Doesn't he have a million-dollar mansion to go back to?

I check up on Tim then, he is drawing on his book.

I take Tim outside of his room.

" Hey, buddy. " Noah greets Tim. I eye him suspiciously.

" Relax, I like children. " He comments, seeing my tensed state.

I go into the kitchen to prepare lunch. I boil some vegetables and then cut some chicken, season it and fry it up in a nonstick pan with butter.

As lunch is ready I put it on the table.

" Ahh, I'm famished. " Noah says, seeing food. Great, now he will steal our food and I can't even say No because he is the Boss.

" What? You expect me to starve? " He asks when he sees my facial expression.

After we are done with our dinner I hear.

" I want a dessert." And no Tim did not say that. It's the big baby Noah here.

" I didn't prepare dessert. " I inform him.

He looks disappointed and goes straight to the fridge and starts looking through its content. Rude!

I follow him.

" You're fridge is nearly empty. " He remarks. I had to go grocery shopping but I never got the time due to him overworking me.

" Well not everyone is loaded with Money Mr. Enrique. " I taunt. I'm also running out of money since I'm not actually paid to be his secretary. And I gave the 70,000 dollars to Morty.

Just then the bell rings.

" Tim please see who it is. " I ask.

" It's the bad man. " He replies looking through the peephole. Tim usually refers to Morty as the bad man. My baby brother is dead scared of Morty and why wouldn't a 4-year-old be scared of a scary-looking goon?

Morty scares me too. To such an extent that it makes me want to run away, but I have no place to run away too. My life is a dead-end, no way out.

It's Morty, but what is he doing here?

I do not open the door.

" Tim just come back and don't open the door. " I whispered to Tim, afraid.

I look back to see Noah eating Tim's cupcake.

" Wait that's Tim’s. " I warn. Tim sees it and his eyes get watery.

" Sis that mi..mine," He says in between his cute little sobs.

I pick him up to shush him and just then Morty starts banging the door furiously. I flinch.

Noah goes to open the door.

" No, don't open it, please. " I warn him, still trying to console a crying Tim.

" Why? " He questions confused.

" Open the door, I know you're in there. " Morty screams.

Noah finally opens the door.

" Who are you and why are you knocking on the door like a freaking maniac? " Noah asks, eyeing Morty with disapproval.

" Oh, so he is the man you are sleeping with. " Morty asks trying to come in.

I step back, scared, Tim also quiets down seeing Morty.

" Back off dude. " Noah says pushing Morty back.

" So now you're sleeping with rich people. How much did he offer you? How much would you take to sleep with me? " He asks still trying to get in, one can tell he is on drugs.

" Even if you hold a woman at gunpoint, she still wouldn't sleep with a scumbag like you. Have you ever smelled yourself? You smell like rotten eggs dude,  I would advise you to back the fuck off. " Noah warns.

Noah's 6'7 figure intimidating short heightened Morty. Though Morty being dumb doesn't budge.

Noah has a well-built body and no doubt he can knock down a strong and sturdy man.

" You're not going to move? " Noah questions and Morty just scoffs at that.

Within seconds Morty falls down to the ground screaming in pain, clutching his leg.

" Ahh, you broke my leg. " He screams. Noah kicked right on his knee producing a cracking sound.

Before Morty can even get up, Noah puts his shoe on Morty's crotch and starts applying pressure slowly.

" Think of me and the things I can do to you before you even think of touching her. " Noah warns and then kicks him where the sun doesn't shine.

Morty faints right there. Noah turns back to me.

" Call the cops Emma. "

I call the cops and they soon take Morty from there. Though Noah doesn't get in any trouble and neither the cops question him at all.

Finally, when all the chaos ends, Tim points his fingers at Noah.

" You ate my cup..cup..cup. " Tim speaks,  trying to say cupcake

" Aww, I'm sorry. I'll get you more, In fact, let's get you more right now. "

" Can I go?  " Tim asks, giving me his puppy dog eyes.

" Fine. " I sigh. For some reason, I trust Noah not to harm Tim.

They both leave and only come back after half an hour. When I go to open the door for them I see Noah Holding 6 freaking huge bags filled with sweets!

" I thought you guys were going to get some cupcakes. " I exclaim.

" It's just cupcakes and a few other things. " Noah says putting them on the counter.

He starts putting things in the fridge and the cabinets.

" Unm Emma we have a problem. " He calls.

" I can't fit them all " He announces innocently.

I see different cakes, pastries donuts, chocolates, truffles, puddings, brownies,  cupcakes,  muffins, ice cream boxes, and lots of candies on the shelf.

" God, who told you to buy all that?  Wait Tim is that a lollipop you are eating? You know those get stuck in your teeth. Give it back. " I scream.

Tim sees me and runs away with the lollipop still in his mouth. I chase him but he hides behind Noah.

I extend my hand to get Tim but Noah blocks me.

" Get out the way, I need to take that lollipop away from him. " I whine.

" No,  don't let her pass through you. " Tim whines.

I sharpen my eyes at Tim.

" You are in a lot of trouble Mister. " I warn Tim whereas he just licks on his lollipop.

Noah just chuckles at that.

Tim picks up his speed and runs out of the kitchen to his room. That little devil!

Before I can run after him, Noah grabs my hand and pulls me closer to him.

" Emma my mind has been a mess these days, I am deeply sorry for the way I've acted. " He apologizes.

I just nod in return.

" Morty is a thug. I'm afraid he can become a hindrance for you. You shouldn't have fought with him. " I reply. It's true that Noah is much more powerful than Morty, but Morty can become irritating. I just hope he doesn't target Noah because of me.

" Emma, people like Morty can't do shit about me. I'm not scared and I have no reason to be scared of a small goon like him. " Noah says with arrogance.

" But you didn't have to do that for me. I never had anyone to look after me. I mean I've been on my own all these years..."

" You're with me now. Didn't I tell you, you're mine? I protect what's mine, Emma. " He says, and with that said he slowly dives in for a passionate kiss.

His hands snake around my waist, holding me close. I  reply back with the same passion. My hands entangle in jet black locks and we kiss for what feels like an eternity.
