Chapter 6: What Can I do Now?

Hannah

I didn’t wanna create a scene so I kept quiet until we reached his cabin. He closed the door and I got out of his hold.

“What the hell is this?” I almost yelled.

“I am happy these doors are sound proof” he smirked and I was a little scared. Soundproof. No one will even hear me scream. Oh fuck, I should stop thinking this stuff.

I took a step back. “Stay away” I whispered but my voice looked as if I was completely scared. He got back and went far. 

“No need to be so scared”

“Where do I have to sit and work?”

“You will get your cabin tomorrow. Today, you can work here”

“What the hell? I am not working here!”

He sighed. “Look, Hannah. Don’t be dramatic. I am really just trying to make things good because we are gonna work--”

“Because of you. You can just end the contract. Why will you create a problem and then try to find a solution when we clearly have a better solution?”

“Hannah look, I am so serious about this. Don’t make me mad. I don’t think that I wanna talk shit right now”

“Don’t you dare try to control me”

He sighed in frustration. “Fine Hannah. You are my employee and you gotta work the way I tell you lest there is something that harms you. You are gonna work here now and that’s my order” he went out and I just stood still.

I don’t know what to do now.

Keith

I was working in a restaurant. I had plastic surgery two years ago so that I wouldn't get caught and it worked. I am so happy that they could never catch me.

It was really something worth celebrating because it is difficult to not get caught by the American Police. Ah, I am so lucky. I got the surgery in Japan. 

If Max’s dad hadn’t helped me… I would have never made it out of America without being caught. Yup, you read it right. Max’s dad.

Well. Whatever it is, I am happy--

“Hello, please take this order” I heard a waiter and I nodded. I am a chef here.

Nah, I wasn’t interested in cooking but what can I do…

I took the order and started making the next food. My cooking was a little better than normal cooks, so our restaurant was always crowded. I was overloaded most of the time but it was okay with me.

I may not be earning very much, but I am happy. You know, I never talked about stuff like this. But I guess the new face has given me a new personality too. I have been more positive and maybe a little better human than I was before. Maybe I am a little sweeter and maybe a little less rude but I know what I did when I was younger and I don’t know how to feel about that.

I mean, I don’t wanna hate myself. I know how wrong I did. I kidnapped a girl, I even looked at her in the wrong way and touched her without her permission but that is what I was back to them. That’s not who I am today.

I can’t even think of accepting my past. It looks as if I was okay with what I did. No, I can never accept it even when I know that I have changed. I have seen people accept themselves even after they have done the worst.

But trust me, it sucks. It sucks to think that it was you. The one who did it all. I mean, you just can’t live with it. It suffocates you inside.

You must be thinking if it is really that difficult then why am I still alive? surely I should have died but honestly, I have someone I live for. And you know what? This is a worse condition. You literally can’t see someone loving you when you hate yourself. And she loves me so much. I love her too but I am always so insecure because who knows if she will love me till the end.

If you are wondering who she is… well, she is Caroline. Yeah, caroline. She… and I… got together after I changed myself. I don’t know what happened to Cody. She never told me and honestly, I am least interested in knowing his story.

All I know is, I love her and I am happy. 

I gave the dish to the waiter and he took it and then he came running to me.

“What happened?” I asked him.

“The CEO of Swifts Corporation is here!! This is insane!”
