Susanna smiled as she met his gaze, his eyes portraying shock and worry. She did not know why he seemed so worried but all she wanted to do was to repay him for all he had done for her that night.
"Please stay"
She whispered as she stepped closer, reaching out to the hands that once reassured her that her world was safe, holding it with her two hands. She clutched at his long and straight fingers anyway, letting the warmth and softness of her own hands let him know she was there to help in anyway possible.
She did not know why but she felt safe with this man. She will not deny the fact that she will be happy if he stays in this 'lonely cabin' she calls a home with her, even if it was just for a night.
"I do not know......."
"Take it as an offer from a friend" She said as she squeezed his hand tighter.
"OK, if you do insist" He reluctantly said as he smiled.
"G
Susanna bit her lips as she could not sleep. All she could think of was the good looking man in her house. She closed her eyes and opened them again. Why can't she sleep?She got up and decided to go get some water from the kitchen. Taking slow steps she approached the door of the room he was in."Maybe he is asleep" She thought as she made her way towards the kitchen but was surprised to see him standing there pouring some water into a cup."You're still awake?" His voice makes her jolt and shiver. Why does he have this effect on her?"I...I'm just finding it hard to sleep" She says, trying to act normal but inwardly she could not control herself. His handsomeness is one thing, but the way he carries himself like a god makes him seem more attractive, and to help did she want to put her hand into his hair.She badly wanted to touch his muscles and feel them.She wanted to taste his lips and for t
The sky was black tranquility married to a poetry of stars. It was the softness that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. Night came as a reward of sorts, a restfulness above to calm the soul.The night was a special kind of blackness, the kind that wants only to hold the stars and help them to shine all the brighter. It was a warm black that hugged you no matter what, and within it's safety He could feel his own soul all the more clearly, that innocent inborn spark as he drove into the still night at about 9pm in the night.He had gotten home before but really didn't feel like staying or sleeping. He wanted to go out for a drive and enjoy the still and cold night.Breathing deeply, he inhaled the cool air as it also gave it skin a cool touch. It was such a cool and maybe would be a memorable one for him.Mike sighed as thoughts came rushing in his head, making his head whil
The pain of what just happened with Susanna took over his brain, as if dealing with it is energy expenditure enough, without the effort of new thoughts. Why won't she just give him a chance? He wanted her to give him a chance to prove he wasn't the type of man he is.Why does he care so much for her? Why does he always feel the need to help her?Why does it hurt so much when she had talked like that to him?He had never felt this way for any woman before. All he had felt for women was lust.Yes, he had duped her, but he never had touched any other woman after he had taken her innocence. He never understood why.He had raped women before, slept with numbers of prostitutes but after what he did to her, he never had the courage to touch another woman because he thought he would hurt her.He had lived with this untold guilt for seven years while he was getting rich. His plan was t
"What the hell?" Mike said in a surprised tone as he ruffled his hair in both surprise and immense confusion."Why the hell will they sell an innocent little girl?"That was the breaking point of his patience. At that moment, he suddenly became blinded by a five-course serving of rage that tasted bitter, yet surprisingly satisfying. He reached out. He went to punch the fool in the face. When his fist came in contact he fell to the ground wailing in pain, as he tried to shake the aching after taste, upon the taste buds of his hand. Much like coffee, its bitterness drew him in to take another sip knowing he would be more awake than minutes before. He tackled him and held him down so he could not fight back. He seriously doubt he could’ve anyway as his fists continued to hit his face. He did not feel guilty nor did he feel the pain that could be caused by punching someone in the face. So many years of subtle bullying that su
"Hannah"She whispered as she began to worry. She can't just sit down on a hospital bed all in the name of treating a wound that was going to heal soon.She forcefully removed the needle which was plunged into her flesh and tried getting up, but fell to the ground with a third, giving a shout of pain.Her legs hurt so badly.One of the nurses came in to see what had happened only to find Susanna's figure on the ground."Madam, are you ok?"Susanna lay on the warm tiles floor. The young nurse picked up her hand and felt her pulse, so she could know if the patient was fine or no.Her heart beat was slow and steady, and her face was so pale. No doubt Susanna was out cold; that was the proof.She had drifted into a world of unconsciousness.
It didn't take long before the police had found Mike and Hannah and also captured the child traffickers. They had taken the both of them to Mike's home where he had fed Hannah and cuddled her to sleep.The young girl seemed to have wanted nothing more than to cuddle in his arms, enveloped by the warmth of both silence and his heat. Whether she wanted to rest permanently or not, he did not know.But she finally fell asleep in his arms.She never would have though silence would be considered warm but there she was laying in her bed prepared to be swept away by the hope that her sleep would be filled by light.Having been kidnapped by child traffickers and had suffered under their clutches, she deserved to have a good night rest.Luckily she didn't have any serious scratches although some were visible on her body as a result of the rope that was tied so tightly around her.
Hannah stayed with Mike because she wanted to. For some reason she felt sad with him, and Mike could not understand why. She always wanted to be with him every minute and he won't deny,It makes him happy.When Susanne had offered to take her home with her, she had refused, saying she wanted to be with papa.Her papa.He still has not gotten used to the whole "papa" ordeal, but he liked it though. For some reason he felt an unbreakable connection with this little girl. Mike was glad to take care of Hannah thus, indirectly fulfilling the promise he made to her on that night.That he would never leave her.He did not have the right over here but he would always care for the little child. She was more than special to him. How she walked her way to his heart he would never know. But he would protect her, even in exchange for his life.He always takes her to school
After all he had done to save her and her daughter it finally dawned on her.She is in love with him and she can’t even believe the love was still there.He had rekindled her love for him.She closed her eyes as she tries to shake those thoughts away. Thoughts of truth.
