Chapter 44: Fire with FireAaron looks at the kissed bruised lips watching the single tear streaming from beneath the bandage eyes. His desire for her knows no bounds but he has trust issues.Annie,” he said hoarsely. He kissed her again. He can feel her lips trembling beneath his. He carefully captures her tear.“Tell me his name,” Aaron looks down at the trap young woman between his fingers; his eyes dark and the feelings of cruelty singing in his heart. All he feels now was hatred and fury forcing him to forget the taste of her kisses or the delicious nectar from her body.“You better give me a name Annie Saint-Claire,” he lessens his grip around her neck. He coldly watches her trying to catch her breath. “I am going to kill you if you don’t give me a name, “he talks right in her face.“Aar…Aaron,” she said hoarsely.“I am not the father,”“You are,” she whispers.“I think you need to know who I am,” his hand slipped behind his back removing the silver dagger. “Maybe if you bleed y
Chapter 43: Secret Lies (Between Lovers)“Sit down Annie Saint-Claire Casey,” his voice was cold and harsh in tone.The big room has a chill that cut into the bones. She shivers before she stumbles with searching hands out front hoping to touch a chair. It was clear she has lost her cane back at the junkyard.“Sit your ass down bloody hell,” the chill in his tone making her shivers.Annie feeling weak and shaky managed to find the chair and sits down carefully. She can hear him moves around her almost like a cage animal. Her hands carefully circle around her too slim body. Just a couple of hours ago he held her passionately then he just up and left after that call.“I want answers. You better tell me the truth.” Aaron keeps circling.“What do you want from me?” Annie delves deeply into herself to find the sudden calm. She is blind but certainly no one’s pushover. Her mom always said know your enemy and adapt according to the situation you find yourself in.“Who the hell are you really
Chapter 42: Question of Pride“Annie, where are you?” the voice clearly annoyed.The blind woman startled into awareness of her immediate surroundings. Her hand nervously caresses over her flat stomach. Just hearing his voice makes her heart beat fast with uncertainty. She can’t believe the drastic change her life underwent the moment she re-married Aaron. Her husband has turned into a complete stranger. Her hand nervously brushes across her eyes. A vengeful act from Victor. He made certain she won’t ever forget.“Annie, answer me.”“I am in the bathroom.” She answered nervously. She listens as the door quickly opens. She instantly smells his male essence the moment he stood behind her. As always, she immediately feels the quickening of her pulse.“Is something wrong Annie?” Aaron allows his heated eyes to wonders over her naked perfection. He caught sight of her reflection in the mirror and noticed she has currently removed the bandages from her eyes. Looking into her sightless green
Chapter 41: Don’t be afraid“My soul has been searching for you. Your soul and mine are one,”“We appear and disappear within each other. I close my eyes, even though you are miles away, I can feel you in every breathe I take. We are always meant to be as one.”The phone ring precisely six o’clock that evening. Annie keeps looking from her finger towards the ringing instrument, as her mind was also occupied with the words ringing like truth in her memory. The moment the phone stop ringing, someone suddenly knock loudly on her door. She simply stayed in her chair not moving. She can’t believe the drastic turn her life suddenly turned. There was a missing piece of the puzzle that currently are her life. She instinctively senses something was very wrong. It almost felt like she was part of some type of emotional game.“Annie, open the bloody door. I know you in there,” yelled Victor. This man in her life also leave a huge question in her heart but she can’t seem to find the answer.She k
Chapter 40: Annie and Victor (Mind Games)Annie carefully closed the bedroom door behind her. She briefly looked back inside. Aaron Casey was still unconscious. She senses a familiarity with the man but doesn’t know why.The moment the phone ring, it felt like she would jump out of her skin. She quickly moved to answer, almost afraid the man would wake in the bedroom or that the caller might realized she wasn’t alone.“Hello,” she said carefully.“Annie, its Victor.” The man said firmly. Something in his tone of voice made her straighten her posture.“Is something wrong?” she asked hesitantly.“I need you to go to the house. A package would arrive and I want you to personally take control of it.” He instructed her.“What is it?” she was hesitant leaving Aaron Casey behind.“You will know it when you accept the package. Now go. Oh by the way, why weren’t you at the shop?”“I closed earlier.”“Why, is something wrong?”“No, just felt like being alone a moment.” She lied hoping he would
Chapter 39: MisleadingAnnie quickly locks her little shop just at the edge of the town. She feels strangely nervous with the sense she was about to hear something bad. This thought has been plaguing her the whole day. She briefly rubs over the scar just behind her neck.She always trusts her instinct, as it is a powerful feeling of wisdom. She has quickly learned it doesn’t matter if she didn’t understand the moment. The truth will always be revealed.She hastily makes her way towards her small apartment. The swirling mist was thick tonight. The moment she shut the door behind her, a sense of relief settles around her.“What a day,” she talks to herself while putting on the kettle.She quickly recharges her phone. As she was about to go and take a shower the ringing of the landline startled her.“That’s weird. Who would be calling that line?” She stood where she was just looking at the phone that keeps on ringing. Her heart rate has escalated, the nervousness from earlier back full f
