Lahat ng Kabanata ng Midst of Darkness!: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Aurora's POV I was reading a book after having dinner. Occasionally checking that officers are still out. It was almost past ten and I was wondering if he was going to come that night. What if he came but saw police at the door and went back? A part of me wanted him to come and get caught by police and a part of me wanted him to disappear and never come back like he never existed. I looked at the book again and realised that I was just looking at the page and was thinking about something else. I wasn't reading at all. My mind wasn't working properly, I was scared. My fear came to reality when I heard noise outside. He was out there! I clutched the book tightly as my stomach churned. I thought I won't be scared as the police were out but I was wrong, he scared me even with that hope. I placed the book down and got out of the bed, my hands trembled as I twisted the lock and opened my bedroom door. My soul almost knocked out of my body when I saw Rafael in the living room. H

Aurora's POV He placed me down on the bed and I fell on the bed like a lifeless doll thinking was I the first girl he was doing that to me. Had he forced other girls too? What will he do once he is done with me? Probably kill me after satisfying himself. I couldn't help but wonder about that. As he promised I was numb, he snatched all my hopes and left me helpless. There was no one to save me. I have no family, I have no one to call a family. Rafael got an easy target, or maybe I was wrong because I don't think even that would have stopped him. I closed my eyes when his thumb touched my lips. He didn't smell like a gun and cigarette that night. There was a hint of freshness in his scent. It invaded my mind when he leaned closer to me, I could feel his breath on my face. "Aren't you going to stop me, Angel?" He asked amused while caressing my cheek with his knuckles. His platinum rings were cold. He wanted me to struggle and then make me realise that I won't succeed. I didn

Aurora's POV I looked at the man shocked and frozen in my place. "He is dead!" I mumbled in shock. I looked at his body, it was wounded badly and was heavily bleeding. "He died on the spot!" The man beside him screamed at me. "You!" He got up while fuming in anger. "You are the same girl, right?" He accused. "You had an argument with him in the restaurant... You did it on purpose. You killed him!" I shook my head furiously. I can't do this and that too for little argument. Has he gone crazy. It was an accident for god's sake! My eyes turned glossy. No matter what, he died because of me. "Excuse me, Mr. Whatever!" Catherine gritted. "You crazy fuckers were driving like you were snakes in past lives and you made us lose control... It's your fault and he was a piece of shit anyway." I looked at Catherine. "Don't say that about a dead person." It sounds really bad but she is right, it was their fault that they were driving roughly. Police and medical help arrived

Aurora's POV I blinked my eyes open and frowned when I saw dark streets through tinted windows. My frown deepened when the day flashed in front of my eyes, I quickly straightened and looked around. A loud gasp escaped my mouth when I saw Rafael sitting in front of me and staring at me. Then I realised that I was in his limo. He is taking me home, I fainted at the police station. But why does this man have to scare me every time. I sat straight while fixing my clothes and then again something clicked in my head. "Catherine?" I gasped. Where is she? I searched for my phone and he extended it towards me. I paused, looked between him and the phone he was holding in his large hand. I don't even have a bit of trust in him. I grabbed it and unlocked it. There was a message from Catherine that she got a cab and went home. I sighed in relief after reading the message. I placed the mobile aside feeling his eyes on me. It feels so scary when he stares at me with that blank and dange

Aurora's POV A bullet scratched through his arm and one side of his hand was drenched in blood. I gasped, I had no idea what to do. Rafael was standing there unfazed like a bullet didn't hurt him but he was bleeding. How could it not hurt? Or was he so used to it that it had become a habit. How many bullets did he take on his body to not feel the pain? I realised that I was doomed, he had warned me about it and I shot him. I shot the mafia King and he survived! I looked at the door and rushed towards it but that was just another stupidity which I did. The ground beneath my feet slipped when a large hand grabbed me and threw me on the bed making me bang my head on the mattress. "We need to work on your aim, it's too weak" He grabbed the gun from the ground and placed it on the counter again. Near my reach like he wanted me to try again. I crawled back on the bed when he focused on me again. "You think you have power in front of me, Angel?" He smirked and I shook my head w
