TRAPPED

I stood frozen, my senses a blur of shock and panic.Suddenly, the shower was turned off.The hand over my mouth was still there, the grip firm but not painful. The scent of soap and shower steam filled my nostrils."Don't panic," John whispered again. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."My body was still pressed against his—the softness of his torso, the dampness of his skin seeping through my clothes. I could feel the frantic beat of my own heart against his. I made a muffled sound of protest against his palm.He released my mouth instantly and took a small step back, though his other hand remained loosely on my wrist, as if to steady me—or himself. I kept my eyes squeezed shut.“You… you were in there for an hour,” I finally managed, the words scraping out. “You didn’t answer. You just… let me panic out here for nothing?"“Charlotte, please. I promise, I wasn’t… it wasn’t like that. The door—""What door?" I asked impatiently.“The lock on this bathroom door is

I APOLOGIZE

“Oh please, I don’t judge anyone by their appearances; you are the one making me uncomfortable. I can’t believe I am in the smallest bathroom ever with a naked stranger,” I muttered.“You didn’t answer the question.”“Save it.”I cut him off and stretched my hand to pull the door.“What are you doing?” John asked, alarm in his voice.“Proving you wrong, and that I am not being superficial. You are a liar,” I said, still not looking at him. “If it ‘only unlocks from the outside,’ then it won’t unlock if I lock it from inside and push, right?”“Don’t—” he started, but it was too late.I gave the door a sharp pull, yanking it shut."Charlotte!!!"His voice scared me.For a second, I just stared at the closed white door.My heart stuttered.Wait…Slowly, hesitantly, I reached out and turned the knob. It turned freely in my hand, the mechanism inside shifting. Unlocked.I pushed.The door didn’t move.I pushed harder with both palms flat against the wood.Nothing.I put my shoulder into it

NO, NOT NOW!

A heavy, awkward silence descended.We were two complete strangers who had gone from polite distance to intense accusation to forced, intimate proximity in the span of an hour.This is crazy.It's like I was cursed.Since leaving that house, I haven't had a single moment of rest.This stranger… there's something strange about him that makes me feel uneasy. And this whole situation makes it worse.I sighed, closed my eyes, and opened them back.There was nothing to do. Nowhere to look. I studied the grout lines in the tiles. He examined the ceiling.“So,” he said after what felt like an eternity.“So,” I echoed.He said nothing again. Awkward silence.I shifted my weight, my elbow bumping the shower curtain rod.Clink.Then, another sound was heard—a skittering, scratching noise from the corner near the base of the toilet.We both froze.A small, sleek, grey shape darted out from behind the porcelain. Beady black eyes glinted in the fluorescent light. A rat. A huge one!Every ounce of

NO, DON'T ANSWER

My daughter can't see us in this position!I have to do something!""Honey, please don't open the door!"I yelled, my heart fluttering like a frantic bird in a cage."Huh?"Angel asked and paused.That gave me a slight relief."Yes… just wait."First I have to figure out how to get down from this awkward position.Then a question came to my head.I wasn't as big as I was before; in fact, I can say I am ten times smaller now. And I was up to John's chest level, yet that thing is poking my butt."How big are you? I am up here at your chest level and I can still feel a poke?"What… what did I just say?Wait, why am I asking that stupid question?!It's an inside voice—not supposed to be said out loud, and definitely not in a situation like this."Emmm… a decent size?"He replied."I… didn't mean to ask that! Put me down!"I snapped with my face red.A decent size indeed..He put me down gently, I felt a brush against my back, which was unavoidable, then his hands coming up in a placating

A GHOST

I turned to him and replied angrily. "Does all these mean nothing to you? You think this is a joke?" "Are you really that scared of him?" John whispered back. His eyes searched my face. I looked away, my eyes welling up. "It's not just...that I am scared of him because of his abusive nature," I choked out, the sobs breaking through. "I can live with that but Marcus isn't just a rich man from a blue-blood line. He's a drug baron. He's corrupt, linked with syndicates, mafias… I got to know, and that's why he kept me bonded. He'll kill me or anyone that crosses his way, the reason he is so obsessed and unable to let me go is because he'll believe I'll expose him and ruin his pristine public image if we part ways. A royal family member linked to that… it would destroy him. That's why …" I caught myself and blinked. Wait! I shouldn't be saying this to a total stranger. I looked up at John. His face had hardened in a way that was suspicious. He gave a slow nod. "I

ARE WE SAVED?

Are we saved? Marcus got a wrong location!"Now, pumpkin, you will do something for me. Turn on the location on the device, so I can come to wherever you are," Marcus instructed Angel.A broken, hopeless laugh escaped me."Well, I don't think it matters anymore anyway…if he is at the wrong place,once Angel turn on the phone's location, and he will come here and do whatever he pleases with us. Why… why is my life always…this sad?"John's voice came behind me."I won't say it's sad...you are a kind and beautiful woman and deserve the best. Let's say you meet a man who can protect you from Marcus and whatever power he has...will you give him a chance?"I looked at him like he just grew another head."Are you seriously asking me that question in this situation?" I whispered with a frown.He rubbed his neck."I was just saying, it's not too late to live a happy life with someone who actually cares about your well-being.""My daughter is in danger, I am in danger, and all you are thinking

CHANGE LOCATION

I can't keep quiet anymore."Angel...Sweetie...for the first time, don't listen to Daddy. Open the door for me. You see my body? You want Daddy to continue hitting Mommy?"Her little voice replied."No. I want Mommy to be happy."She suddenly reminded me of myself as a child, how happy I was when Mommy moved on with Mr. Roberts. Even though it didn't benefit me, I was happy to see her happy."Angel, Mommy will be happy, okay? Open the door now.""ANGEL!!"Marcus shouted.She gasped loudly. That must have startled her.Marcus noticed too because his voice dropped into a sweet, apologetic tone."I am sorry for hitting Mommy, pumpkin. And I am sorry for hitting you. But you must not listen to your mother. I will direct you, sweetie. Then don't open the door; you can't handle it. Daddy will come there and take you and Mommy home, okay? We'll be a family again."I can't let him win."Baby…Angel.... please… open the door.""ANGEL, do as I said! You can't be useless..at your age!"Marcus roa

HE IS A HELPER

The rental SUV that John hired glided to a stop under the rain-slicked portico of The Veridian.I stared up from the window at the luxury hotel. It wasn't at all what I expected; it was beyond my expectations. This hotel is undeniably very expensive.“Here we are,” John said, opening the door for me.I was still staring when he carried Angel out and adjusted her nose mask."What do you think? Is it too low for you?""Of course not, it's rather too expensive," I replied."Mommy, when are we going home?" Angel asked.John looked at me. I bent down to her height."Baby, soon, okay? Mommy has been busy the past months..."Years actually."I want us to bond more during this short break. We will go back home soon."I added.She nodded.I straightened and looked around, as if Marcus had his vultures watching from every corner. I also don't want paparazzi to spot us. I hope my disguise is enough to hide my identity. I had a plain gray scarf over my hair and the lower half of my face, large

FLUTTERING HEART

The elevator ride was silent and I tried every possible way not to make eye contact with John.Being in a small space with him reminds me of the bathroom and it makes me uncomfortable for many reasons.I shut my eyes tightly and groan.I can't believe I was in such an awkward situation back then. How was I supposed to even explain the situation if by chance Marcus found us in that position?I sighed.What a terrible day.Angel leaned against my chest her small fingers curled into my blouse.I adjusted her weight in my arms then stole a glance at John.He was staring at me and I looked away that instant.But I felt my heart flutter and my cheeks burn. An old feeling I didn't realize I still had.Why am I attracted to him, when my life is in this mess?This is not the time or place, Charlotte!!!Finally, the doors slid open and we got into a private corridor with warm dim lighting.I put Angel on the ground and she ran to John. He held out his left hand and she took it.The two didn't e

A DENIAL

“Mommy… is this our new house?”Angel asked.I swallowed.“It's just a temporary place for us to rest,” I replied quietly.John stepped aside to let us in.“There are two bedrooms,” he said. “One on each side. Bathroom attached. Room service is available all night.”He paused, then added gently,“You’re safe here.”I nodded, though my chest felt tight.I put Angel down and she ran toward the window, pressing her hands against the glass.“It’s so high,” she said.John smiled at her, as he turned to me.That feeling again came back, my heart fluttering and my cheeks hot."I...I...I am very grateful, John...also the two bedroom suite ...I think one is enough for us..."Then I paused."Do you want to stay here with us?"He blinked then raised his hands in a surrender."No, not at all please..I can't make you that uncomfortable, it's all for you and Angel".Deep down I wished he would stay.He makes me feel so secure.The way he protected me against those rats without hesitation. It's been
