Delilah couldn't remember the last time she has ever returned to any place as her home or ever belonged to. Being trapped in a basement where nothing but darkness was her sole companion. For five years she had lived in that basement under the eyes of the lustful human scavengers. Until one fateful night, she managed to escape. But where would she go now? She had no one and nowhere to go. Escaping wasn't easy but preventing getting caught was the real challenge. How long would she be able to protect herself? Damien was everyone's nightmare with those deep charcoal eyes and even darker hair. However, despite the darkness, he was that angel for her she always hoped to find. But will the darkness ever let her see the brightest of days she has ever seen before?

Stay With Me 6. He's an angel
Delilah's POVMy eyes ran over the peach shaded walls, and the huge white curtains covered most of the room. Under the dim light, it was not much visible to see the inside of the place.When I had woke up, I found myself in this unfamiliar place. Panic settled in but when I tried to move put of here, pain shot through my feet. I looked down and the early cut of the feet has opened. It didn’t cure totally when I decided to remove the bandage, it couldn’t be used anymore.I didn’t have the money to go to the medic to have another so when I found myself not bleeding anymore I settled with them. Until last night when it actually got worse than ever.I couldn’t even move the toes, are they fractured or something? Oh God! My eyes washed the place again as I waited for my potential kidnapper or whoever to come.When all the memories of last night flooded in, I could feel the fear and the anxiety kicking in me thinking if that man hadn’t come to help what would have happened to me. I wanted t
Stay With Me 5. Helping Her
DAMIEN'S POV“I'm sorry, Grams.” I didn’t know how many times I repeated myself but she was adamant not to forgive me.“En, I’m not going to hear any apologies. Why couldn’t you visit me this weekend?” I almost groaned, repeating the same words again and again.“I told you, I had an important meeting.” She scoffed from the other side, and I could already imagine her rolling her eyes. I took a seat on the bench, cracking my shoulder muscles, feeling the relaxation trickling in.“Enough of your excuses.” She spoke still angry while a sigh left my lips.“I’m sorry, Grams. I will visit this weekend.” I had never asked for sorry as much as I’m doing now. Well, it’s Grams after all. I don’t know how to pacify her.“I will be visiting you this time, and I also want to meet your girlfriend.”What the fuck!“Grams from where are you getting this? I’m not with someone.” I groaned massaging my temple. From where was she getting all these weird ideas.“I don’t know. I asked you for so long to loo

The delicious smell of the cookies filled the entire pantry and almost made my stomach to grumble. It’s eleven in the morning and I didn’t have my breakfast till now. I was too occupied to have that.Amber left me some food before going to market to buy some of the baking ingredients. I settled the cooled cookies on a plate before placing them for displaying.

I couldn’t this many favours from her. She already did a l
Stay With Me 3. Rescuing Her
Damien's POVLife was exhausting.I adjusted the gear, driving down the highways at the break of dawn. Last night was immensely tiring. From attending meetings to business parties, takes up the entire resting time I get to help me go. Nothing was exciting about those parties except for the wine and dining.Escalating the speed more, I passed the highways and entered the broad road through the forest. Tall trees lined up on both sides. I rolled down my windows breathing in the fresh, cool air of the morning. Living in the tall-storeyed building you cannot enjoy the peace offered here. I didn’t remember when was the last time I ever went for any picnic or tracking.It’s always meetings and business parties.“Sir, the Japan delegates wants the meeting today itself.” I gave a nod to Ashton, my assistant as he typed frequently on his phone. He had always been a diligent worker, and are those who know how to handle their work well and fine. It’s been like five years since he had held this p
Stay With Me 2. Inkling of Hope
DELILAH'S POVThe cold breeze whistles past my ears, as I covered myself with my arms trying to warm up even the slightest. Winters were harsh, but walking with naked feet and no warm clothes to protect, they’re the harshest.After all the pleadings I did, the doctor let me leave without calling any cops and all. I couldn’t trust anyone. The last time when I tried to run, I ran to the cops first thinking they would help me but how naïve I was.Even the cops were their puppets, parroting whatever was told to them. I couldn’t trust just anyone.With every step I took, the fear was inkling inside me. Where would I go now? I had fortunately escaped but where will be my new destination. Neither did I have money, clothes, shoes nor any proof of my educational qualifications.I had no possession.Before leaving the hospital, the young-looking nurse took pity on me and handed me a dress she said she had worn just once. Unfortunately her shoes didn’t fit me, but she handed me few dollars to he
Stay With Me 1. Escape
DELILAH’S POVThe dark forest under the hidden moonlight looked like a deep endless tunnel. My naked feet scrambled over the dried twigs and branches, crunching under my weight, as I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I could feel the thudding of my heart, and the fear whirlpooling inside me. Short and frequent breaths filtered in, as I constrained my eyes solely on the pathless way in front. Don’t look back.Do not dare to look back.Facing your death is the greatest fear of a being, even who thinks themselves as mighty as Hercules. Death brings them all to their knees, and what’s more fearful was experiencing your death chasing you. I could feel my feet wet and burning, realizing I must be bleeding but that is the least of my concern now. I never dared to look behind me. My legs burned, lungs exhausted to supply any more breaths but I didn’t stop. For I know, once stopped, I would never see tomorrow’s sun again.The sound of the crunching of dried leaves, twigs, and branches echoed in t
