Chapter 44: Chapter 44

After she left, I looked at the time. 1 pm. I decided to have lunch outside. I smiled at the dress. It's beautiful, thanks to her. And yes, I do have enough money to have a meal. I never saved my money, so money is a big problem for me.

After eating, I went to a park. I smiled widely. Today, everything will change. My smile is just not leaving my lips.

I feel so.. connected to him. As if all the things in this universe wants me to be together with him. I want to ignite his dark skies, I want to remove his facades and make him feel.. loved. I want to become the one he was never able to find. I want us to be each other's salvation.

I grinned and walked out of the park. The moment I took a step out, I felt someone's hand over mouth. I struggled to get out of his grasp but he was strong. I still kept moving but in a sudden moment, I felt darkness consuming me, filling me with nothing but despair...

We were one step closer to feeling ourselves. One step close to make every moment everlasting. One step close ..... to be loved.

My eyes slowly opened as I adjusted my vision. My head throbbed in pain, I felt numb. I looked around and found myself in a dusky room. The darkness gave me an eerie feeling of dread. I tried to move then I heard a screeching sound. I turned my head to the side although it was difficult. I saw a chain around my right leg. My eyes widened in horror as tears brimmed in my eyes.

..Why me?..

Gritting my teeth in anger, I shouted from the bottom of my lungs,

"LET ME OUT!"

"LET ME OUT DAMN IT!" I shouted again and again. Finally after a few seconds someone entered. Due to darkness, I can't see but I can guess it's a man- no two men.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" I began to struggle even though it was all in vain but still I tried.

"You don't know my husband." I hissed. When they heard it, they began to laugh.

"Well, it's your husband." One of them said. I narrowed my eyes on them, not understanding what they were saying.

"He gave us the money to do it." The other person said as my eyes widened in disbelief. I felt the earth beneath my feet swallow me up. Like my heart is being ripped apart. A heavy pain crushed me.

"No... you're lying.." I whispered. My heart can't believe their words. Christian can’t do this. They laughed again. Anger took over me and I stood up and tried to walk towards them but the chain came in between or else I was ready to kill him.

"He is the one who did this."

"STOP IT!" I screamed. “Christian can never do such a thing.” I declared. We're supposed to start our lives anew, away from dread, away from hatred. He can't do this. He can’t...

One of them took a step closer to me as I glared at him.

"Let. Me. Go." I growled but he took it as some sort of amusement. He lean in too close,

"No, why would I?" He sneered as I slapped him hard across his cheek. The slap was that hard that even my palm began to sting.

"FUCK YOU!" I yelled again. I won’t lose hope. They cannot ruin the day I was looking forward to. I won’t let them.

"You bitch.." he mumbled as he looked at me outraged. He began to walk closer and I tried to slap him again but he held my wrist, actually both of my hands. He continued to look at me, I can see the silhouette of him but not his face. I can feel the anger. But, this didn't scare me a bit. I gave me a look filled with extensive fury and spit on him, he let me go and took a step back. I heard him cursing me under his breath, he then began to take rapid steps towards me and before I knew it, I was pinned against the wall. I whimpered in pain and also continued to struggle out of his grasp. I felt him giving me a look of a predator. I curled my toes and shut my eyes. Please Christian, save me. I can never believe their ridiculous words.

"I'll show you the outcome of your action." He hissed as I felt his lips on my neck. I began to cry and shout from this feeling of disgust. I was finally free from this abhor, I don't want to feel it again. I continued to scream but I was then slapped hard, I fell on the ground feeling pathetic for not being able to push him away.

He gripped my hairs and pulled me upward. I groaned in pain and dug my long nails in his hands. He winced and let go of me hand. I will struggle till the last once of my strength- No, even after exhaustion, I will never lose against them.

"I've had enough of her." He snarled.

"Don't do anything stupid! She- He did not allow us to touch her. Get away." The other person said. She. I knew it wasn't Christian. They are deliberately putting the blame on him.

"Dude, look at her. What a hot little thing she is." He said as I put a hand over my chest to not comprehend his revolting words.

"Just how much harm one night gonna cause." He suggested as my eyes widened in fright. My throat dried as I felt vulnerable. There was a dreadful brief pause and in the next moment, I felt my hand holding my arms as I continued to struggle, “Let me go, You fucking animal!” I moved to get out but to no avail. "What strength." the other guy said.

"LET GO! HELP ME CHRISTIAN!!" I was grabbed by the jaws as my face was yanked towards his. My eyes fell upon the source of light coming through the door as I stared at it.

The liberation was so close.. if I can extend my hand, I can grab it but my hands were tied by the strings of fate, pushing me away from you..
