Chapter 8

-AMELIA-

“Senorita I don’t think you have an upper hand here.” I am not going to back down. I will fight till he agrees.

“I will come only if you accept my condition. So if you agree, you have nothing to lose it’s a small condition.”

He rubbed his forehead obviously annoyed with my childishness. "Fine, let’s hear your condition.”

It’s a good thing he agreed otherwise I was going to start a tantrum however tired or sleepy I was.  "I want to continue going to college because my graduation is nearing and I want to complete my studies." I know it’s a weird condition to ask right now but I really needed this, I can’t leave my education just like that.

I felt he was silent for like an hour though it was only for few minutes and I started to think that he wasn’t going to allow me.  But I had to go to school to study as well as think further about the plan.

"Okay you can go but...” I was so happy that I had the biggest smile on my face considering what is happening but my smile turned into a frown what did he mean by ‘but’

“Before you get excited listen to the whole thing you can go to school, but I can’t take you with me if you have to attend college and other stuff so it will be better that…. I will stay here in this house and watch you which is necessary since I don't trust you. You might tell your friends and again file a complaint or even try something.  Also I have some work related to your father which can be completed if I am in the house.”

I stared at him as if he had grown two heads. Is he crazy why would I let a criminal to live under my roof? Isn't he scared that I will kill him the first chance I get?

"Why would I be scared? I know you don't have the courage to even touch me. So no worries." He said looking so sure of himself.

OK I said that loud great just great. Just the impression I wanted to create.  "No you can't stay here.”

“Again darling you don’t have a choice.”

“I have a name you know?”

“And what may be that be?” he asked trying to annoy me. He is the one who barged in here, he is supposed to have all the details.

“You can’t stay here, that’s it don’t make me repeat.”

“Feisty I like that. Tell me the reason why I can’t?”

“I might have guests and friends over at times and I don’t want to introduce you. Also the biggest reason is that I loathe your face and everything that comes out of your mouth."

"I don't care whether you loathe or like my face I am staying here or else your friend is no more do you get it?”

OKAY I had enough. We were standing in my house in the middle of the night and he is a bloody murderer whose face reminds me of my family and he has the audacity to ask me to basically hide him here. 

“No you won't stay here and you can't keep threatening me you idiot."

"’idiot’ that’s all you got? Oh come on I expected more but right now I am tired so be a good host and show me my room."

"I am telling you for the last time NO. Leave before I call the cops... “Before I could complete my threat I was pushed back to the wall with a hand on my neck choking me to death.

"You listen to me darling don't make me kill your friend because of your stubbornness. I told you I am staying here and that's final. You listen to me and your friend stays safe. “He said looking very angry, I think I had played with the last of his patience. He still didn't leave me and I was going to choke to death for all he cares. My eyes was filled with tears and I am sure ,y face is turning red with the blood rush I think he saw that because he left me and went away to talk on his phone which had been ringing for a while now.

I slid down on the floor crying and tried to regain my breath. Oh Jenny I love you so much I can't see you die that is why I am ready to sacrifice everything for the only person left in my life. 

I stood up and wiped my tears as I looked at the handsome devil standing away from me and speaking to someone in a language I didn’t quite comprehend.

I had only one thought in my mind. Oh my friend you don’t know what you are getting yourself into. You made the wrong decision Sean because you just made me desire revenge even more and I don't think after what happened today I will even be able to forgive you. It's like the old saying 'don't dig your own grave ' but I am sorry my friend, my bad, I meant enemy you have already dug it and now we need a body to fill the grave.

I glanced towards the kitchen where he was but no one was there. I felt a presence behind me and looked at Sean, his hair was messed up like he ran his fingers through it hundred times. I don't care about him or his looks. 

“So looks like you have decided what you want. One more thing you will keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone that I am staying here and remember there is always a threat on your friend what's her name? Yes, Jennifer. OK senorita?"

I looked at him with so much disgust and hatred. I didn’t answer him, I believe my stare gave him all the answers he needed. I led him to the guest room and was about to go when he held my hand.

"Always remember I am watching over you. You can’t escape from me.” I pulled my hands from his grip and slammed his door shut.

I walked away thinking about how I was going to survive living with this devil under the same roof. One thing was for sure living here is going to be the worst decision he ever made.
