SARAHI was frozen in fear, my heart ceasing its beat and my blood running cold through my veins.Gripped by horror the moment Emilio's eyes snapped open to meet my terrified orbs, I went rigid as a statute with my hands hanging in the air.The peaceful facial expression which coated his sleeping face had completely vanished, a harsh and cold look taking its place. "I-I...Emilio...I.." I stuttered repeatedly, my heart beat becoming frantic and unstable. It was as if the whole world could hear its tumultuous rhythm. Emilio gradually stood up, locking my hand in a vice like grip which made me shudder. I watched with keen interest and also anxiety as he forcefully dragged my hand which now feebly gripped onto the knife to his throat, wrapping his huge hand around mine to keep the knife from falling. "You wanted to kill me Sarah didn't you?" He rhetorically asked, his tone deep but calm for someone who had a knife on his throat. Well he was the one controlling the movements of my hands

SARAHMy heart halted it's beating the moment Emilio said those unforgiving words at me, the world around me ceasing to rotate for a fleeting second. His words rang repeatedly in my ears, giving me frightful chills and sending a tornado of emotions and mixed thoughts to surge within me."Y-you w-want me to have sex with you?" I stuttered, a bitter gal hauling up to my lungs with each word I uttered."You heard me loud and clear bella. Allow me have you all through the night" Emilio smirked and stood straight.He ponderously ambled behind me, causing all the hairs in my body to stand.I felt his fingers caressing my neck and I let out a gasp out once, fear like a cold chill running through my spine. "If-f-if I do it...w-will you h...." I barely even completed my statement when Emilio roughly cut me short."I will. I am a man of my words. You should know that by now" his deep voice rumbled from behind me.I have to save my grandma but doing this, sleeping with Emilio for money is to

SARAH My eyes slowly flustered open, weak and heavy for some reason. My vision was hazy, quite blurry and I could barely even make out my surroundings.The room was quite dark, not completely dark but it was too difficult for my weak and heavy eyes to see through much. I couldn't tell if it was my room or if I was in a different room.The moment my vision adjusted, I unconsciously tried raising up my finger but my little bodily movement was barred by a pain so great that got me to clench my teeth hardly.Dark spots slowly began appearing in my vision and I pinched my eyes close to try stabilise my hazy vision.Flying my eyes open, the pain seared through my body once more.I could barely even raise my body up as it felt like a mountain was resting ontop me.How did I get to be in so much pain?I struggled to raise my arm when I noticed an intravenous injection had been placed inside my skin. Good gracious.Was I ill? What happened?My memory was in a blur, my body was extremely wea

SARAHTWO DAYS LATERThe door was slowly pushed open, a soft smile meeting my curious gaze.Grace sauntered inside, "how are you doing Sarah?"I smiled back, trying my best to sit up and straighten my back."Don't worry just lie back. Don't stress yourself to sit up ok" she admonished coming to sit by me on the bed."I'm not terminally ill Grace. It's just a fever" I chuckled."A fever that has gotten you bedridden. Dear don't force yourself ok. How are you faring?" She inquired, caressing my pale hands.I shivered a bit and flashed her a faint smile, "I am recovering I guess. Well at least I no longer feel too weak. And the headache has reduced. Oh God I thought it would never go away" I responded."Emilio has been taking good care of you I see" Grace remarked as she stood up and went over to slightly open the curtains of the room, allowing little, warm rays of the sun to grace the room.The room was awfully chilly. "He has actually. I give him that. It doesn't change anything about

SARAHThe gentle breeze caressed my skin and softly howled in my ears, blowing tendrils of my hairs across my face. I paced around the garden, exercising my sleepy limbs and enjoying the warmth of nature around me.Today was the best opportunity I had to go out. Emilio had left for work very early in the morning after our talk last night and honestly I was still in awe of everything. And this was the best opportunity because if Emilio were to be around, he won't even let me step a foot on the ground by myself.His kindness, his cheerful smile, the way he spoke to me, his words....uurgh fuck everything was shocking but in a good way.I don't even know what to think of him any more. These days he is acting more human and less of the ruthless being I knew in my initial days of staying with him. A smile walked to my lips as I thought of Emilio's now sudden endearing personality. But quickly, it snapped in me that I was smiling because of Emilio and as quickly as the smile appeared, i
