"Where are we?" asked Leah when she had just opened her eyes after sleeping almost four hours in the car, she turned to look at Adrian with her eyes half-closed. Adrian smiled at Leah who looked still sleepy, "West Virginia," Adrian answered as he kept driving.
Leah straightened up, looking around her, the expanse of mountain scenery spoiling her eyes. "Are we going to stay here?" Leah muttered, her hand pressed the button to open the car window.Adrian nodded, "You said it was up to me, so I chose this city, you don't mind right?" Adrian's face looked a little worried. "Absolutely not, anywhere is the same for me," said Leah casually, she didn't care where she lived, because wherever she was she still had to hide from Jerome.Adrian's car turned into a narrow road with trees filling the right and left of it, Leah didn't protest, she just stared at the scene with a much better feeling than before. Being away from the noise of big city life was enough toAdrian's hands began to move to touch Leah's breasts, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. Leah closed her eyes, enjoying every touch of Adrian's hand on her skin. When Adrian's lips began to fall and kiss her breast, suddenly the memory of the sexual assault that Jerome had done to her appeared and ruined everything. Leah pushed Adrian away, then covered her face with her hands."What's happening Leah? Is there something wrong?" asked Adrian, stunned. Leah shook her head without letting go of the hands that covering her face.Adrian approached and stroked Leah's hair gently. "Leah, tell me, what's the matter? Why do you look so scared? Did I hurt you?" Adrian's voice sounded really worried.Leah opened her hands, then looked up at Adrian with a face that was wet with tears. "This isn't about you Ad, it's about him..." Leah replied in a choked voice. Suddenly the image of Jerome beating her and harassing her appeared in her mind, made Leah feel like t
“Have we ever been to this place before?” Leah asked, gripping Adrian's hand tightly. Adrian nodded with a hopeful glare on his face, "We always spend time in this cabin at least once every month, can you remember anything?" Adrian couldn't hide his happiness. Leah bit her lip, her eyes looked at Adrian with tears in them, “I remember we are sitting here like this, doing the same thing like what we do right now, oh my dear God…” Leah touched Adrian's face, tears started to fall down on her cheeks. "Our memories are real..." Leah whispered still not believing what she was feeling. Adrian touched Leah's hand that was on her face, "Welcome back baby..." Adrian said with a broad smile. "Thank you for making our beautiful memories the first thing you remember, I don't care if after this you can't remember anything else, for
"We almost had a child," Adrian said almost inaudibly. Leah's body was shaking violently, she looked at Adrian in disbelief, but deep inside her heart, she knew, Adrian was telling the truth."What happened?" whispered Leah still confused. Adrian got up from his seat, "Get dressed, I'll be waiting outside," said Adrian, who quite understood that Leah didn't feel comfortable with her naked body wrapped only by a blanket.After Adrian came out, Leah rushed out of bed and put on clothes then she followed Adrian out. She looked around but Adrian wasn't anywhere. "I'm outside!" shouted Adrian from the courtyard.Leah walked briskly toward the yard and found Adrian preparing a canoe by the river for them to board. "Come on! We'll go around in a canoe!" Adria
"Oh my God, all this time I've been looking for evidence of Jerome's fictitious company, it turns out that everything is here!" Leah stared at the laptop screen in disbelief. Next to her, Adrian reacted exactly as Leah did."Are we going to report it now?" asked Adrian, he looked down at Leah who was still busy moving the cursor. "Is this evidence enough?" Leah looked up, her eyes meeting Adrian's.Adrian shrugged, "I don't know, I have to study this file first," Adrian reached out his hand to lift the laptop in Leah's lap and put it on the table. Carefully, Adrian read the files one by one, occasionally frowning. "Do you understand all these things?" Adrian asked Leah, who seemed lost in her own thoughts.Leah nodded, “Well, I don't know, I guess my b
The man raised his rifle and pointed it at Adrian, "Should I shoot you?" hissed the man, his hand ready to pull the trigger. Leah looked at Adrian and the man in turn, both frightened and confused. “Ad, what are you doing!” Leah shouted as Adrian stepped closer to the man.“Shoot me if you have the guts!” Adrian pressed the tip of the rifle to his chest. Leah got up, her hand reached out to grab Adrian's hand. "Ad! Do not play around!" Leah snapped. The man chuckled, he pulled out his rifle and stepped forward to hug Adrian, making Leah even more confused.“Leah, this is Liam, my cousin! He's an asshole hahaha forgive us, our joke is a bit too much," said Adrian looking at Leah and Liam in turn. Liam laughed, he held out his hand to Leah, "Actually we've met before, but Adrian said you lost par
"Leah? Is there anything you want to say to me?" asked Adrian, his body covering Leah's face from Liam. Adrian's face was tense, waiting for Leah to answer his question. Leah gulped, she looked down her brain deep in thought. If in the past she chose not to tell Adrian, there must be a reason.Leah shook her head, "Can we just go home?" asked Leah quietly. Adrian nodded "Sure! Come on, hold my hand," Adrian helped Leah to her feet, then they walked past Liam and Nathalie who just watched them silently."Aren't we going to ride?" Liam shouted when Adrian and Leah were some distance away from him. Adrian didn't answer or look at Liam at all, he suddenly felt angry at Liam for no reason.A few moments later they arrived at the cabin, Adrian rushed to take Leah to her room. "Leah, are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" asked Adrian when they had closed the bedroom door.Leah paused, turning h
With the sound of the car roaring, Liam and Nathalie had already left the cabin. "Get some rest, forget everything that happened today, I won't let Liam be near you anymore," Adrian said, he stroked Leah's hair slowly and then left Leah in the room. Leah took a deep breath, feeling a little surprised by what she had just experienced.Her head hurt a little, she opened a drawer to get some medicine and took a quick gulp. Soon Leah fell asleep.A few hours later Leah awoke to a loud thud that startled her. She rose from her slumber in fright, she had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.Leah opened the door slowly and quietly. Feeling a little trembling, she walked towards the kitchen, Adrian might be there. But it's just the same, quiet. There's no one there.Not long after, "Leah! Run! Run! Hurry! He is here" Adrian shouted from the wine cellar. Leah was startled, her heart pounding wi
Leah and Adrian held their breath as Jerome's people walked quickly on the ground around them, they shouted at each other and said that Leah and Adrian couldn't be far away. As the voices of the people began to fade, Leah's sense of smell start to work, she began to be able to smell the stench of horse dung piercing her nose. She winced at the smell. In front of her, Adrian's shoulders shook with laughter, a contagious laugh, that made Leah laugh too. "I can't believe we can laugh amidst all this tension!" whispered Leah, shaking her head a few times. Adrian smiled, "At least there are still things that can make us happy, it seems they are a bit far from here," Adrian tiptoed, peeking from the sidelines of the board filled with horse dung. "It's safe!" With difficulty, Adrian slides the board open. He stepped and climbed up, when he reached the top, he reached out to help Leah up. The surroundings were quite
