The adrenaline and pain made me stand up faster, but with my room still dark I couldn't see very well. Suddenly he was behind me and grabbed my wet hair roughly before pushing me onto the bed, my sobbing sound could be heard in my room, I didn't even realize I had been crying since earlier.He pinned me down with his body weight, my face buried in my pillow making it hard to breathe."Shut up, you bastard!" the voice whispered loudly in my ear, "I will kill you if you scream again, do you understand?"I tried to nod, I faintly heard the sound of my cellphone falling earlier. He tied my hands with a cable and then turned me around. I tried not to move too much so that my towel wouldn't open even more.Suddenly he walked away and one second later a bright light shone on my room. I looked at him in panic, he was wearing a black mask that covered his entire head. All of his clothes were also black.The man took my cellphone then turned it off, the last voice I heard was Mr. Shaw who screa
'Oh ... good. Give him my regards." I pretended to yawn so Lana could go back quicker and get some rest."I'll see you again very early in the morning. Too bad they won't let me stay." He answered while pulling the corners of his mouth down.I'm a little touched that Lana was thinking of staying with me tonight. "Of course, this is the ICU room, Lana. Maybe after I get transferred to the regular room they'll clear it."She smiled again and kissed my forehead, "See you tomorrow, Ella."'OK, bye." I smiled back at him until he disappeared from behind the door. From the ICU window I could see Lana hugging her father before they walked away. Even though their relationship is not very good, at least Lana still has someone to hug at times like this.I took a deep breath to swallow the disappointment that was clogging my throat. For the first time in years, I felt really, really lonely.Due to the influence of the drug I fell back asleep several times before waking up, then falling back asle
"Shut up you bastard."I opened my eyes in the dark. A masked man's head inches in front of my face whispers the words again, "Shut up you bastard." I wanted to scream, but my voice stopped in my throat. One of his hands groped my leg until it was a few inches above my knee making my stomach turn."Stop ... " my tears came out along with my sobs. "Please, stop." His cold hands moved slowly up, I closed my eyes and then I pushed his body that was pressing on me with all my might.Suddenly he encircled my wrists with his other hand, holding me back from struggling. "Eleanor, open your eyes." I struggled again, this time harder. His hands gripping my wrists tighter, I can almost smell the alcohol from his panting breath ...***"Eleanor!"I looked into a pair of dark blue eyes when they opened, He was very close to me. But I still can't move my hand. "Mr-Mr. Shaw?" My voice sounded shaky, just like my whole body right now. He looked a little angry when he looked at me, then I realized he
"Ella, you okay?""Huh?" I turned to Lana. "What?"She looked at me with her big light blue eyes "You're thinking about that guy? He deserves it."I nodded slightly, "Yeah ... you're right." But that's not what I'm thinking right now. I'm thinking about Mr. Shaw and what we just talked about. What if he did kill him?"I called your office, Christine and the others are likely to visit you this afternoon."Thanks, Lana." I smiled at her trying to divert my thoughts. "I just want to go home asap.""Me too. I miss talking to you in the middle of the night."I smiled at her again "Me too. Is your father still in San Francisco?""He's been gone since 7 o'clock." She answered quickly, Lana didn't really like talking about her father or her family. "Ella? If ... if you need a donor for your liver, you can use mine.""Lana ... you don't have to do this." I replied, I was touched by her offer. But I will not accept the offer. "There are plenty of other donors, even if I really need one."Lana s
Mr. Shaw didn't answer me. But I don't need an answer because I know everything "I still have a few questions."He nodded slightly while looking at me with a slightly worried expression."If you don't hunt humans anymore ... then how will you survive?""Blood bank, we have connections working there. They supply human blood every few weeks."The fine hairs all over my body bristled slightly when I heard his answer. The expression on his face seemed to grow colder even though it looked like he was trying to hide it."We mix it with Wine to disguise it." He added in a slightly irritated voice. I remembered the crystal wine bottle that was in his house at that time, the color was indeed darker than the usual wine color. My stomach churns a little when I think about it."So you don't hunt humans anymore." I repeat to myself. It is not dangerous.Of course, you idiot, He's already helped you several times, I thought angrily to myself."But we still have the instinct to hunt humans." That se
i stopped when i heard a feminine voice chuckling. it took me two seconds to convince myself that this voice wasn't just my hallucination.i know he's in manhattan for a friend's office wedding for at least two days. eric still gave me a report whenever needed but he didn't tell me the wedding was being held at this hotel.the voice sounded closer. i can also hear miss morrel's voice talking. the last time i met her in person was 3 months ago, we passed each other in front of a wine boutique when i visited san francisco. of course she didn't recognize me then because i had erased her memory, she didn't even look at me.the bellboy standing in front of the restaurant gave me a questioning look but i ignored him. slowly i turned my body back to stare into the restaurant. he was just sitting at one of the tables across from me. her two amber eyes met my gaze even though she was talking to miss morrel, i don't know since when she looked at me. for a moment i couldn't take my eyes off of h
"What are you looking at?" Lana's question made me turn to her. She followed my gaze towards the door of the restaurant."It is nothing." I smiled at het.I know the possibility of meeting him in Manhattan. It's just that seeing his head on like this, even though we're quite far apart, still makes my heart beat wildly.The last time I saw him was 3 months ago in San Francisco. Of course I was very surprised because I didn't think He would come back after our last meeting one year ago at the hospital. Then I remembered that Nicholas Shaw also had acquaintances in that town.At that time I forced myself not to look at him because of my surprise. We only passed each other for a few seconds but I could feel his intense gaze on me whereas I could only see his back as he turned around.Now, seeing him again in this place in person made my throat constrict. Nicholas Shaw still looked as handsome as I could remember. He wore a blue striped suit and a white shirt. This time I couldn't take my
Lana opened her mouth to reply but no sound came out of it. "You lie to me." Greg's voice still sounded angry, but she didn't snap at him. "This time I won't let you run away again, do you understand?" the sentence sounded like a threat.Lana looked at him with a panicked look, "Let go of me.""Not this time. You and I still have unfinished business. And we'll be talking about it all night." He answered while walking towards the exit, He was still holding Lana's arm. I couldn't help but gape when I heard what he said."Hey, wait a minute ... " I called while trying to chase them both, "Mr. Shaw! What are you doing?" But Greg didn't stop at all, he didn't even look at me."Lana! What happened?" I almost catch up with them, Lana turns to me, her panicked face makes me feel angry. "Mr. Shaw!" I almost screamed in the middle of the road. But he just walked past me as if he didn't see me, they walked to the car park next to the hotel while Lana was still trying to release his grip.Half run
