You've been out of my house for a while and you never searched me up on the internet? Are you joking right now, Jessica?" "I'm not.""You seriously don't know anything about me?" He asked with an infuriated chuckle. I shyly smiled. I never had enough courage to search about him. I just knew that we were never meeting again. So, I never bothered."I promise." I pinched my throat. He sighed annoyedly and it was kinda cute. I had an impressive image of him in my mind and I didn't want to ruin it. I knew that Kyle was a playboy. A man with a long history of one night stands and ex-girlfriends. I just wasn't ready to see images of him kissing some naked girl on the internet. That was another reason why I didn't search him up. I was scared of finding out about his girlfriends or worse— His body count. Kyle isn't a saint. I kno
122Jasmine's POV Luckily he heard and obeyed. He stopped barely at the threshold of the room. He was very rigid, though. I went to him while enduring the pain from walking hastily and made him face me. "It's not you, Kyle. It's my body. I just... It's hard to explain. That day scared me so much that... I... My body... It just reacts even though my mind knows I'm not in danger. It's a reflex I can't control. I don't know why it's happening but I just..." I trailed off and looked away. It was hard to express my emotions. I hate feeling this way. I hate reacting this way. But my body remembers things I’ve been through and it reacts on its own before I can say anything. Kyle's silence was killing me. He saved my life and getting treated this way was absolutely aggravating. Feeling regretful, I turned around to go inside the room when, "I'm hungry. Would you like to keep me company?" I turned again, my eyes teary but lips smiling. I nodded. He smiled in return and gestured for me to
121Jasmine's POV. "Mr. Falcon, that is Jasmine. Kyle sir's guest. I think you shouldn't be here in his absence because sir told me to not let any stranger—""Guest! Kyle didn't tell me he has..." Falcon blinked his eyes to shake the mist off his gaze as he licked his lips in a smitten sort of way. "Such a beautiful guest tucked away in his bedroom."He came all the way inside and stopped before the bed. Mari came behind him. She was looking at me pitifully because my teeth were chattering. The Falcon guy wasn't giving any bad vibe, but my body was not in my control. I was thrown back to that moment when... When all those men in the mental institution were surrounding me. When one of them— I took deep breaths as my chest felt too tight and numb. It was like an invisible weight was pressing down on my chest. "Hey? Pretty guest, are you okay?" Falcon extended a hand to touch my shoulder. I yelped and jerked back. My head hit the headboard hard and spasms exploded in my head. I don't
120Jasmine's POVI was in a dark room. It was very very dark that I couldn't even see myself; and in that darkness my heart lurched hysterically. My loud breathings was all I heard. I moved around with my hands extended before me. I was hoping to come across a wall so that I could use it to get out of here.I didn't find a wall, but someone grabbed my arm and threw me on the floor. A chorus of evil laughter rang around me."We finally caught you alone." A dark voice said."Pin her down." Another voice boomed around me and no matter how frantically I shot my head around, I couldn't see anyone."Spread her legs apart." But I could feel it— The hands. Some were on my thighs, some on my belly, some on my arms, and some tried to crawl between my legs.I felt a finger threateningly close to my vagina. Before it got anywhere near it, I screamed on top of my voice such that my lungs ached.My eyes shot open and blinding white lights assaulted my vision. I quickly placed a hand across my eye
119Kyle's POV“Forget about the questions, sir. I'll tell you a story that has answers to all your questions. Okay? Let's take a walk as I tell you the story.” I walked beside Titus on the street as he told me Jessica's story.How she met her husband, and then how they got married four years ago and were happy for three years.“Then a few months back, things completely changed for her. Jessica's husband started ignoring her to such an extent that he wouldn't come home from office for days. He wouldn't even take her calls. She thought it's because of not being able to have a baby. They've been trying for a while and Jessica wouldn't just get pregnant. But then, the truth was something else. Jessica learned it on the day she did get pregnant— It's the day you both met each other, sir. The day of the accident.”We stoppe
118(Trigger warning: This chapter contains some dark scenes. Read at your risk)Kyle's POVMy lips curled up in praise. I've seen girls her age do nothing if there's no money involved. But Birdie was willing to sacrifice herself to save Jessica. I owe her for this. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have found Jessica back. We wouldn't have met again.Keeping her favors in mind, I did what was the right thing.“Mari, prepare the guest room. Miss Birdie will move in with us for a while.” At my words, Birdie's eyes widened.“S-sir, I… I can't—”“Fiona, it's your duty to make sure she takes good care and medical help— Wait, I think you should stay here too.” She looked dumbstruck.“But Lila… She will seriously kill me.&
