I have no words to respond to him. I just stared at him as tears rolled down my cheeks. I could only shake my head when he shook me twice. I think it is the end of my life. He looks like the death that would be taking me away from this life."Kalvis! Calvis, what are you doing? Stop that!"We both looked at Lita who ran in our direction. She was full of worry. "Why, Lita? Do you know this woman?! What's her right to enter in this house without my permission?!" he asked Lita. Lita snatched me from his tight grip. Only then did I feel that I was not in his arms again when Lita was slightly hugging me to give me protection."Kalvis, and when did you learn to hurt women? I didn't raise you like that! You are taught to respect women!"He was pointing at me at this moment, I looked at the floor. My vision is blurry because of the tears blocking my eyes. "That's not the point here! Why are you just letting anyone enter in this house? She's still even my mommy's favorite dress! Who is thi
I frowned, after the rain, I didn't know where to go. I don't know what tomorrow will bring me. I came out of the small space I was standing in. I felt that the surroundings suddenly turned around. I just closed my eyes when the surroundings suddenly turned black. "W-What's happening to me?" I asked worriedly. I put my hands in front of me, I couldn't see them. I heard a loud crash. I was weak, and gradually became unconscious. It was all just a dream, I slowly opened my eyes. I looked around, the inside of the room was all white. Next to me stood a pole with a white container hanging on it that only contained a transparent liquid. "Where am I?" I asked myself, staring at the small hose attached to my hand. I closed my eyes for a moment. Why am I here at the hospital? I have no money. What should I pay for the bill here? Marcov enters. Full of concern, he sat beside me. I averted my gaze from him. I guess my bad luck in life has gotten worse these past few days since he exist
I was left alone. I sat on the side of the bed, confused. Back then, I wanted to run away from my aunt and Chontel's roof, but now, I just want to serve them inside that house so that Marcov won't see me ever again. Everyone is probably waiting to find someone to love, and hoping to find someone who is ready to save them from the sadness that life brings. I was one of those who asked God for that thing, but I was afraid, and I doubted because Marcov Greyford was the person who showed me the motive. Do I believe it? Is he the answer to my prayers? I spent several days in the hospital. I could have gone out on the first day but Marcov didn't allow me to go out until he was sure that I'm really okay. He just tested everything on me, sugar level, my blood, if I have pneumonia, if I have malaria, and what else. And only then did he agree to discharge me when he found out that all the tests were negative. He said that I shouldn't be worrying about the bill because he would be carrying i
I got dressed. I stared at the mirror. He bought me a black strapped dress. He was thoughtful because he bought a blazer too, it would be used to cover my skin.I saw him bowing. I was a little embarrassed to see what he was doing. He was cleaning the stain on the seat. "Hmm."He stood up. He was sweating. "There you are. I just wiped it, so you can be comfortable later.""Marcov, I should have cleaned that up.""Veronne, don't be shy with me anymore. I want you to get rid of the discomfort you feel when you're with me."Even if he said that, I still couldn't get rid of my shame because of what happened. I sighed. I got into the car and immediately fell silent. "Veronne, I called an agent to find a unit for you. He said he will send designs so you can choose," he told me. Is this man really serious about what he's doing? "Marcov, you've spent so much on me. It's like you bought me," I said with a hint of humor in my tone. He had a beautiful set of teeth, I saw that when he smiled
The agent said a lot about the unit we entered. I can hear him but the words he said won't enter my mind as I only pay attention to the beautiful interior of the unit. Obviously, I was regaled as we walked around the unit. It has a large living room that is cleanly painted in white, some parts of the wall have paintings that were actually bought from abroad by famous painters, and there is a living room set that looks like it is often seen in popular series on television. The aroma inside was like a newly opened bottle of tequila with a chocolate flavor.We entered the room. The bed is big but it still can't occupy the wide space, it has its own comfort room inside, a small table on the side, a wardrobe with a stylish design, and even has its own TV. It has a nice kitchen and is very clean. The agent even tried to turn on the tap while explaining something. We went to the living room and the three of us sat down. He and Marcov were talking while I couldn't stop praising this unit wi
The position I was in when I fell asleep was also the position when I woke up when the alarm clock rang next to me. In my deep sleep, I was unable to change positions. It's not like when I was still at my aunt's house where I would change positions from time to time until morning. I got tired. I have been looking for this feeling for several years, and now I felt it again, to wake up without pain in my body and head because my bed is soft. I entered my class after I cleaned up and ate. I took my phone out of my bag when I saw it light up. My eyes widened at what I saw, almost three hundred miscalls, and more than one hundred texts I received from Marcov. "Shit! Maybe he's mad at me now. I have to call him," I said to myself and immediately dialed his number. He didn't answer my call. I was annoyed so I just put my phone back in my bag. Maybe he was taking revenge on me, that's why he didn't answer my call. That man is like a child thinking to take revenge on me.When I was inside
Kalvis' good looks when I first saw him had completely disappeared and were covered by his evil character. I thought he was nice, but he wasn't. He's handsome but at the core of being evil.After I saw Kalvis and was pissed because of him, my cousin appeared in front of me. My bag was hanging on his lower arm. Yes, I know it's my bag. With the money I saved before, I bought a second hand designer bag, and now my cousin is using it.l like she earned the money used to buy it."Wow! Nice bag," I said, full of sarcasm. He raised his other eyebrow staring at me. "Of course, do you know it's expensive?"I stand. "Of course, I know, Chontel. Actually it's second hand but it's still expensive. I know the price because it's mine," I said. I took my bag on the table and was about to leave but she grabbed my arm and pulled me so I returned to where I came from earlier. "Why are you so bold now, Veronne? Who are you leaning on?"I pulled back my arm that she held tightly. I'm done letting her
We are at the climax of the movie we were watching. A suspense-horror movie was played and I was giving my attention to it. I screamed because of the woman's stupidity. She already knew it was dangerous to enter the woods and that's what she did. "That woman is stupid! Where did her brain go?! God, she's making my blood boil because of her character! What is that?!"I was losing my mind while Marcov was seriously staring at the monitor. My forehead furrowed. He has no feelings towards the movie we were watching."Aren't you afraid of the movie we're watching? It's creepy!"He held me in his arms and ruffled my hair. "You really thought I was scared because of the show? How many times have I had low sales, and how many times have I almost gone out of business, I'm not scared, Veronne. I'm almost forty-six now and how am I gonna be so scared of those things.""But I'm sure, you're afraid of something," I told him. Marcov let out a long, deep sigh. He was silent for a moment. I moved h
