At 2 p.m., I was roughed with a continuous banging at the door, disrupting my desperate search for my contraceptive pills. Where the hell did I keep them? I threw my clothes around, frantically rummaging through my wardrobe and bags for them. They must be here somewhere? Ugh. BANG! BANG! Who was that and where the fuck was Daniel? I hurried down, the booming sound growing louder and louder by the minute. I flung the door open and froze. There he was—in flesh and blood.

“Jack!” I staggered back

  • Love, Obsession, Torture   CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

    How did he find me?“Jack, let go of him!” I yelled, shooting him an angry glare and clapping my hand around his arm, trying a futile attempt to stop his fist from smashing into Mr stranger’s lacerated face, which was barely looking anything like him by the way.Jack was a morbid animal. “Next time you fucking touch what belongs to me, you’ll leave without limps.” Jack snarled at poor Stranger, after which he gave him a hefty shove. Everyone cavalierly looked on as Mr stranger crashed to the floor, his lifeless body hardly twitching. My eyes dilated with horror, my mouth gaping open as I fixed my gaze on the battered stranger in sheer hideousness. The man wasn’t moving, yet no one bothered to help. It took me few seconds to become fully aware, I was flung over Jack’s shoulder, moving through a cleaved path as he marched us out of the bar. We had only just made it through the threshold, landing outside the bar when someone screamed, ‘Call 911, he’s not moving.’ Were they all so terr

    “Let’s go out tonight,” I blurted. Lana’s head snapped up, a surprised scowl washing across her features.“Are you sure? It’s almost 12 a.m. in the morning,” she said, laying her phone upended on the heap of papers, sprawled on the coffee table.“I’m sure Lana. I want to go to one of those many bars you scouted. I want to get drunk.”“I don’t think that’s such a great idea, Robin. You…”“Please. I need to forget him.”Lana stared at my pale face, her eyes gleaming with immense concern.“Okay, um lemme get changed. Wear something hot.” She grinned at me. “I’ll let Mike know when to pick us up.” I nodded, traipsing up the stairs to my room.For once in the whole month I’d been self-isolating, I put on some makeup, changed into a sultry dress, blow dried my hair into trembling curls and headed to Lana’s room. I was feisty in a dangerous mood.“Wow!” Lana blurted. “Impressive outfit, you look rather sexy.” I grinned at her.“You look great too. Can we leave already?”I couldn’t wait any

  • Love, Obsession, Torture   CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

    The days were blurring into each other. It had been week two of lying in bed, mourning the loss of my parents and the murderer. Two weeks without stepping a foot outside, not even to work. Two weeks of isolation and glum. The crushing reality that I couldn’t be with Jack was asphyxiating. Where was I going to find a love this intoxicating? This electrifying? This consuming? Then again, I couldn’t betray my parents any longer. I couldn’t be disloyal to their memories by staying in a relationship with their killer. I couldn’t. Jack had filled Lana in upon her return after seeing me in a grief-stricken state, and barely responsive. She gave me space, not probing for any more information about the matter. She knew the toll their deaths had taken on me: on my self-confidence, on feeling I was undeserving of love, on feeling I was inadequate, insufficient, to say the least. The list could cram into a hefty tome. Lana softly pulled my door open, just enough to peep through the narrow gap,

    I hauled myself up, pushing Jack away from me with the last strength I could muster from my languid body. I swept up my bag from the floor, not minding the fact that I still had just a towel swathed around me. I’d leave in it if he hesitated to bring out my clothes. I didn’t care anymore. I wanted to disappear from his house and life for good. He didn’t get to have a happy ending with me after sabotaging my life.“Robin, you can’t leave in that.” He screeched to the door, blocking my path. I glared at him with a fury I never knew existed, until now.“Get out of my way. I don’t care what I have on, you refused to give back my clothes. You didn’t leave me with much of a choice.”I snarled on a scowl. I could leave naked. I truly couldn’t give a flying fuck. I’d rather the world saw my nakedness than spend another second with this slayer of a man.“I sent them to the laundry. If you give me a moment, I can instruct Daniel to retrieve them for you.”“That won’t be necessary. Just get out

    I opened my bleary eyes. Jack’s outline hovering blurrily above me in my line of sight, his voice frantically shouting my name and tapping my cheeks. I forced my eyes wider, diving straight into his blues piercing down at me, realisation of the cause of my current state, gripping me with panic. I scrambled clumsily backwards, breathing heavily as I retreated to the edge of the bed. “Robin, I’m not going to hurt you.” he sighed, his eyes brimming with hurt and pain. “I can’t believe, you’d even think for a second that I’d harm you. You’re my life.” He leaned forward to hold me. I flinched, clambering down from the bed and grabbing my bag. I needed to leave this place.“Where are my clothes?” I demanded, looking straight ahead, ignoring his gaze. “Robin. Please…let’s talk about this.”“Jack, I just need my fucking clothes.” I barked. I had no interest in listening to anything he had to say to me. No explanations could justify him killing my parents. The people I loved most in the worl

  • Love, Obsession, Torture   CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

    I closed my eyes, taking in some calming breaths, trying to recover what was left of my equilibrium. I couldn’t stay unmoved any longer, neither could I act unbothered. He had killed before! Holy cow! Jack was way beyond sinful, he was way beyond redemption, he was far too gone. I made my way out of the bath, the water sloshing over the rim. I heard Jack’s voice calling after me as I swathed myself with a towel.“Robin. You said you wouldn’t run.” He jogged behind me, spinning me around to face him before I reached the landing of the bedroom. I gazed at him, tears gathering in my eyes. I couldn’t fathom it all. Why? I could live with his dissipation, and intemperance, but murder?“Why?” I choked, tears rolling freely down my cheeks. My only crime was falling in love—did it have to be with a man with varied transgressions? “Who did you kill Jack?”“Robin…”“Just answer me, please.” I sniffled. He leaned forward, arms outstretched to hold me. I backed away. “The last thing I want…is you

    “Good Morning.” I greeted Millicent as I entered the chemical lab. This was a first—seeing her face this early. I strode to my office and popped my phone and personal effects in the drawer.“Hi, Robin.” she chirped. She must be in a good mood. “I imagined how awkward it was the last time at Home Mc

    Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! My knees felt like squishy sponges as I lurched back in my dazed dwam. Was the nightmare over yet? I looked around, it wasn’t. He was still here, my stalker ex, his lips curling into a sly smile. He was enjoying this…my shock. Tremors wrecked my body and cold sweat trickled

    I couldn’t see his face but I knew he had a frown on. “I’m walking Jack. Mike couldn’t pick me up and Lana is otherwise occupied.” He heaved a long, frustrated sigh. He was furious. “I could’ve picked you up, and why on earth aren’t you using the car?”Shit! The Rolls-Royce he got me. To my chagr

    “Damn Lana, you’re going to be late!” I stood in the hall, shouting. She was definitely going to miss her flight if she didn’t hurry the hell up!“I’m coming, I’m almost down.” she breathed, scurrying down after some minutes, I reached out, helping with her luggage.“Are you sure you’d need all thi
