I DON'T DESERVE FORGIVENESS

The culprit soon joined us in the conversation as well. The signs of hesitation in his face on coming back into the guest room proved his guilt to me. Instead of continuing the conversation, I excused myself and requested Seth to join me.Once, we were in a separate room, I asked him about Anne, “Why did you tell her about me staying in your apartment?”“Because she has been calling me incessantly to get some information on you,” revealed Seth, believing he had done the right thing. “She cried a lot. I couldn’t sit idly and watch her grieve your disappearance like that.”“She will now tell everyone about my whereabouts, including Noah,” I said with visible signs of distress on my face. “If he were to find out that I’d taken refuge in a guy's apartment, he wouldn’t appreciate it.”“Why are you so afraid of him? Am I not with you?” questioned Seth, not realizing the danger that he had put both of us in.Placing my head over my hand, I told him, “You’ve certainly made a grave error. I wo

THE MAN OUTSIDE THE WINDOW

Convincing my sister to leave wasn’t an easy task. It took a lot of assurances about my safety and well-being. She visited us every day. She was assured that I required her care to navigate through the challenges of life. As an older sibling, she had the necessary audacity to think like that. I, however, declined all help.A little annoyed, I crashed on the bed, too exhausted to worry about changing clothes. It didn’t take much for me to fall asleep. I was assured to get up the next morning until I heard a few sharp knocks on my bedroom door.“Who is it?” I asked, rubbing my eyes, tiresomely.“Seth,” answered the man, and then sought my permission to enter my bedroom.I allowed him to get inside and then got into a sitting position. Just like a responsible father, he came towards my bed and demanded me to wake up and join him for dinner. Since I was too tired to even move, I told him that I had already eaten.“Are you sure?” asked Seth in a suspicious tone, for he knew I never ate anyt

FLOWERS FROM A STRANGER

I didn’t see anybody outside the window the next morning. The man had completely disappeared into the thin air. Since I had seen the silhouette of that man quite clearly the previous night, I knew it wasn’t some hallucination. Somebody was actually there, staring at me in the middle of the night.Last night’s horrific images didn’t leave my mind. I appeared a little disturbed by the same when I joined Seth for breakfast. He, thus, couldn’t stop himself from addressing the same, “Didn’t you have a good night's sleep yesterday?”“No, I didn’t,” I responded, resting my weary head on my hands. “I saw somebody standing outside the window.”“Could’ve been some drunkard,” argued Seth, pleading with me to eat something.I ate a little sandwich and some hard-boiled eggs before grabbing my bag and preparing to leave. Before I could move out of the door, Seth reminded me to call him in the case of an emergency. Since I didn’t want to hear another lecture on my inability to prioritize my safety,

WHO IS THIS WOMAN?

The car drove for what seemed like hours. Since there was a blindfold on my eyes and my hands were tied together, I could neither tell where we were headed nor attempt to escape. The whole situation was identical to the previous time I got abducted.That was probably why I didn’t have to guess who could be behind the abduction. That is what you get for sharing information with Anne. She could’ve told her husband about my whereabouts. I always knew she could not be trusted to keep a secret.“Do you have to do this again, Noah?” I asked, fuming with rage.“Noah? Who are you talking about?” asked the man, sitting beside me, and he sounded nothing like Noah.It was precisely then that I began to panic. With a trembling voice, I demanded to know the person’s identity and his purpose in hauling me away from my workplace by force. The man said that I would find out soon, and urged me to stay silent if I wasn’t in a hurry to die.“Even if you’re not Noah, you could've been sent by him to tort

WHAT'S YOUR MOTIVE?

The woman didn’t say anything and instructed the goon to join her in the bedroom instead. While they probably began discussing the most effective ways to dispose of me, I tried to rid myself of the ropes that were wounded around my wrists. I didn’t want to die just yet.The knot that had held the ropes together was strong enough to ruin all of my attempts to free myself. I, thus, realized that I needed somebody else to help me with it. I looked around me to find the goon’s phone on the table beside me.Since my legs weren’t tied, I moved closer to the table and began operating it with my nose. Luckily, it had no passcode. After a few unsuccessful attempts at skilful scrolling, I did manage to get to the num pad. I dialled the police's number. As soon as the call was connected, I communicated my condition to them and requested quick rescue, for I feared the possibility of my abductor killing me before dawn was very high. They promised speedy assistance. I doubted I could sit idly and w

CAN'T TRUST NOBODY

“You were aware of my relationship with Noah all this time, yet you married him?” I asked, trying to stop myself from crying even when my heart was breaking.Turning away from me with arms crossed and resting on her chest, she answered, “I have always loved him just as much. That’s why I didn’t think that there was anything wrong with marrying him.”“Even if it was at the expense of your younger sister’s happiness?” I muttered, beginning to acknowledge the fact that she hated me with all her being.“I never considered you anything. You were just a mistake. Our parents didn’t even want to have you in the first place. You were never needed,” complained my older sister, unafraid of coming off as brutal.Since I saw no hope of surviving this, I succumbed to my fate and went quiet. This subservience brought a smile to my sister’s face. She was glad to find out that I had no fight left in me, which meant she wouldn’t meet any resistance while killing me. Thus, she now needed nothing but a k

WE'RE ENGAGED?

As one might expect, Seth was furious over how long it had taken the police to reach me. Watching him get this worked up, the officer asked him if he was my husband, something that couldn’t be denied without watching Seth sigh in disappointment.“We’re good friends,” I said, recognizing how much Seth had supported me in the last couple of days. But, I couldn’t see him as anything more than that. It wouldn’t be good for either of us.The officer nodded and then suggested, “If that’s the case, I would be required to inform your family, Miss Jennings.”That was the last thing I wanted. After all, it was my family who was the source of my suffering. If the officer were to invite them, my sister and I might end up having a confrontation, which I knew would end badly for me. Therefore, it was not even worth considering.“On second thought, I believe there is no harm in sharing the truth of my relationship with Seth,” I decided to lie to save myself from coming face-to-face with my family. “

WE'RE HOME

We reached home to find that our things had been tossed and turned. It was as if someone had gone through our stuff while we were gone. Since theft cases had never occurred in Seth’s apartment complex, I was truly taken aback by the incident.“Why don’t you guys check if anything is missing?” asked the officer, suggesting that he would file an FIR if something had been stolen from us.We looked in every nook and corner, but we couldn’t find anything that had been taken from us, which was why it was hard to decipher the motive behind the act. Seth could even find the engagement rings that he had mentioned to the officer earlier.“When are you planning on holding the ceremony then?” asked the Officer, while texting somebody on his phone.Unwilling to burden Seth anymore, I chose to answer the officer’s new query by saying, “Since I still haven't finished my studies, I want to wait a little.”“That sounds fair,” answered the officer, and then assured us that we’d have footage of the pers

DON'T TOUCH ME LIKE THAT!

“Don’t you know that I’m still naked underneath this towel?” I asked, tightening my grip on my towel.Seth looked at me from the top to the bottom, sort of like taking notice of my curves, something he had never done before, and then asked me, “Has anybody ever told you that you’re really beautiful?”“You’re the first guy to say that,” I lied because I didn’t want to talk about Noah.With a broad smile on his face, he began walking towards me, disregarding the fact that I had just asked him to give me some personal space. He then wrapped his arms around me tightly, as if he was afraid that somebody might steal me from him.Since this behaviour was alien to me, I had to ask him, “What are you doing, Seth?”He requested me to stay mum, as he feared that the beautiful moment between us would be ruined. He then rested his head on my shoulder, something he had never done to any woman before me. It was sort of like he was tired and wanted to rest.Caressing his back, I told him, “You’ve been

SISTER'S NOT WELL

I still couldn’t believe that Seth had asked me to spend my life with him. I was genuinely concerned about the request he had made. Didn’t he realize that any association with me could destroy his life?Noah wouldn’t think twice before hurting Seth if he were to find out about it. Even though he was no longer in my life, I was still haunted by the fear of encountering him. After all that he had done to me, I didn’t want that.“If I were to accept Seth’s feelings, I think that I might end up getting him involved in my matter, which might make him a target for Noah,” I muttered while looking out of the window. I cared too much about him to expose him to such danger.The sky was clear tonight, which was why the moon’s comforting light could illuminate the entire room. It was the first time I had slept with my lights off. After what had happened with Noah, I got nightmares of him torturing me, which made keeping the lights on necessary for me.“I can’t deny the fact that Noah has scarred m
