Shana hadn't spoken a word since the incident. Shana has just returned from a night's walk. wanted to get some fresh air after the incident. On the way back to the apartment she meets Dennis. At first, Shana wanted to stay as far away from Dennis as possible but as the elevator doors closed she couldn't help herself. She looked at him and then back towards the ground, focusing on her own feet. She had never been good at dealing with awkward silences.
"You okay?" Dennis suddenly asked, breaking the silence.Shana simply shrugged her shoulders. She thought it was better than letting the silence continue.The elevator doors opened and they made their way toward the apartment. Once they were inside the apartment and had locked the front door behind them, Shana went straight to her room and closed the door behind her, not wanting to listen to Dennis' words any longer. She didn't know whether to cry or scream. Either way, neither option sounded appealing to her.She threw the blanket on her bed and laid down facing the ceiling, sighing loudly. She was still sad but not as bad as before. She slowly wiped her tears away. Then she went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, fixed her hair a little bit, and then decided to take a nice hot shower. That seemed to help a little.Once she was finished drying her hair, Shana put on some comfy clothes and crawled under the covers of her bed. She grabbed the blanket tightly and closed her eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.The following morning when she woke up, she felt extremely tired which surprised her considering that she had fallen asleep pretty early last night. She decided to get some food and coffee from the kitchen.She slowly walked down the stairs and opened the fridge. She noticed there is nothing on the fridge. So, she decided to have breakfast at a cafe near her apartment. After paying for the meal she sat at a table and waited patiently for her drink and plate to arrive.It was almost 8:30 and Shana was waiting for 9 o clock when a familiar voice called out to her from a few tables away from hers "Shana?".Shana jumped and turned her head in the direction where she heard the voice calling her name "Bethany?"."Hey, how are you doing?". Asked Bethany as she sat next to Shana."Fine, thanks for asking", said Shana with a small smile." I heard, you are married... To my boy" continued Bethany while sipping her tea."... Yeah. How did you know that?". Shana questioned in confusion."My boyfriend told me last night.", answered Bethany, staring at Shana with a teasing smile.Shana sighed"Looked, this is not like you thought it is..""I know. You probably trapped Dennis to married with you right? You are a slut, you know?"Bethany splashed water on Shana's face. Shana is very shocked by what Bethany did and Shana retaliates by splashing water on Bethany’s face. The two women are now soaking wet. A few minutes later, Dennis was seen running towards the two women."What do you think you're doing?" he was angry with Shana"What did I do? Ask your girlfriend. She started it all" Shana snapped."Lie. Don't listen to her baby. You started it first." Bethany said angrily glaring at Shana."Oh, so I started it? Why don't you say it, bitch?""Why don't you stop acting crazy now! It doesn't make anything easier." Dennis yelled.Both girls were now standing in the middle of the crowded restaurant, yelling at each other while everyone was staring at them and whispering.Suddenly, Dennis pushed both of them away from each other roughly, making Shana fall to the floor, gasping for breath and coughing hard."How dare you!? Do you realize what this looks like!?" exclaimed Dennis in anger.He turned towards Shana "You are a liar. You are just a slut. You ruined me. Now leave".Shana stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant. There was no point in her trying to explain everything to Dennis because Dennis only believed in Bethany. All the people in the restaurant were whispering and glancing at them in fear. Bethany was looking at Dennis with wide eyes, her mouth opens slightly, but was silent.After leaving the restaurant, Shana immediately drives to another part of town. Her mind kept going back to the situation between her, Bethany, and Dennis. Suddenly, her phone rang. Shana took the call without even looking at the caller ID."Hello?".The person on the other side of the line was silent. It was the same man who contacted her last time but he didn't say anything yet. Shana waited nervously for his reply.Finally, he spoke."Do you like Dennis?".Shana smiled and responded."Maybe". She gave a vague answer.The man chuckled in response. "Okay".After that, he hung up again. Shana looked at the phone in disbelief.What had just happened? Did he believe her lie? He had known about Dennis all along, didn't he? Maybe she shouldn't have said the truth. She knew how it would change everything. She should have kept quiet.She drove with no direction, not knowing exactly where she was going. She just needed time to collect her thoughts.Dennis was sitting in his car, deep in his thoughts. His mind kept drifting back to Shana. He was confused about his feeling toward her and what should he do about it. He didn't want Shana to be hurt, he could handle that but he didn't think he could handle losing her.Dennis knew that he cared about her but didn't know if he liked her the same way. He also knew that he would end up hurting Shana if he confessed to her right now and it was killing him inside.Dennis got out of the car and headed toward his house. As he approached his house, he realized something was wrong. His house was usually quiet. Today, however, it was loud and full of people. The reporter was everywhere. Dennis frowned and quickly entered through the gate. The reporter ran toward him as soon as he exits his car."Is it true you're married?" "Is it true you cheated on Ms.Bethany?" "What happened this morning?" A barrage of questions was thrown at Dennis. "Your wife stated that she loves you. Do you love her too o
The sun was shining brightly when Shana opened her eyes the following morning, and she noticed that she hadn't moved in the last few hours. After looking at the clock and seeing how late it was, she got out of bed. She walked over to the washroom and got washed before heading downstairs to start her day. She walked towards the kitchen where she noticed Dennis and Bethany having their breakfast. She sat down across from them and started eating her breakfast. She didn't say much as she wasn't hungry."How dare you show your face this morning. Honey, let's go out. I lost my appetite looking at this bitch's face. " "Enough Bethany! Enough!" Dennis scolded Bethany. "What is wrong with you?" "You. You're the one who spoiled my mood in the morning" "But .. Baby .." Before Bethany could finish her words, Dennis had already passed by. Shana just smiled mockingly at Bethany. Bethany couldn't say any more words, so she stormed upstairs. When she reached the hallway she slammed the door open
Dennis. He did save her. His tears of joy made her cry harder. She felt like she needed him more than ever." Dennis please, please don't cry, it hurts me to see you like this!" exclaimed Shana wiping away her husband's tears. She held his face in between her hands." Don't cry. Please don't" said Shana desperately. She hated seeing her husband so upset. She hates it more than anything else in the world. All the pain she suffered was all for nothing. Bethany just stood there angrily. She couldn't believe that Dennis could storm out of the cafe when he saw Shana nearly hit by a car. She felt Dennis's affection for her had changed. Bethany felt the resentment in her heart grow. She plans to avenge her anger on Shana.Bethany walked over to them and pulled on Shana's hair hard. Shana yelped in pain and pain-Filled Dennis's eyes as he watched Bethany pull Shana's hair in a painful grip."Don't you ever touch her like that again, bitch!" Shana's head snapped towards her husband who was now
Dennis was dressed casually in black jeans and a turtleneck. A pair of brown leather boots hugged his muscular legs."Are you okay?" Whispered Dennis. The panic written all over Shana's face gave Dennis the answer that he needed."They kidnapped you", stated Dennis while taking off his jacket. Then, he proceeded to untie Shana from the chair and pulled her on his lap."It's okay Shana. I'll protect you. It's alright", said Dennis while caressing Shana's cheek tenderly. Shana leaned into his hands instinctively."Thank you", whispered Shana with tears in her eyes. Dennis wiped her tears away gently and brought her forehead to his. His thumbs caressed Shana's cheeks soothingly while pressing his lips against hers briefly."I don't want to see you get hurt. Please let me save you Shana", whispered Dennis before pulling her in for another kiss. Their kiss didn't last long as the sound of running footsteps echoed in the hallway which caused the two of them to pull away slightly, panting he
"Open your fucking eyes" Shouted Dennis.Shana was dying, and they were out of time. They needed to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. But she was unconscious and bleeding profusely. Dennis stripped off his shirt and wrapped it around her wound. His in-laws wrapped his jacket around his naked daughter. Dennis then lifted her body with all his strength. Dennis wrapped his arm around his neck. He walked over to the car and pushed her into the passenger seat.Speeding to the hospital and getting tickets was the furthest thing from his mind right now. He picked her up again when they arrived."Please help! My wife is d-dying!" Dennis was crying at this point.Dennis watched as they put her body on the bed and hurriedly got her to one of the rooms there. After a few hours of waiting,"Sir, I'm happy to tell you that your wife survived." It felt like hundreds of pounds were lifted off his shoulders. "c-can I see him?" "Sure"He dashed into the room to find her. She tried to say
Dennis watched as his wife, Shana sat down beside the water fountain with a bottle of grapefruit juice and some water in hand. His heart swelled with admiration every time he saw her like this: her hair was messy with tangles and knots. Shana noticed Dennis and gave him a small wave with the cup of grapefruit juice in her hand. Dennis quickly walked over to her and sat on the edge of the fountain next to her. He took the cup from her hand and drank down all the contents of the orange juice bottle. It still hasn't been fully cooled yet. Dennis handed the half-empty juice bottle back to Shana and looked down at his feet. They both fell quiet and stared silently at the marble tiles in front of them. A minute later Shana spoke. "Did you get the food?" she asked, a hint of humor laced in her tone. Dennis smirked slightly. "Yeah, I got everything I asked for." He chuckled a little. They both smiled at each other. Then suddenly, Dennis started laughing lightly, followed shortly by Shana.
The next morning, Shana woke up and saw Dennis beside him. She stares at his husband's face.It took a while for the reality of their situation to sink in. Shana had almost forgotten what day of the week it was. It was Thursday, the fifth of August. That meant that Shana and Dennis would be separated soon. She couldn't help but cry.She sat up and wrapped her arms around him. Her fingers traced the scarred skin of his face and neck. He looked away from her, unable to look at her while she cried. Shana held him tighter. They stayed this way until she managed to calm down a little. She wiped away her tears and leaned close to her husband and kissed his forehead."I love you, Darling," Shana muttered.Dennis turned towards Shana. He lifted her face gently with both his hands and kissed her gently. Shana moaned a little as Dennis deepened the kiss. Her hand moved up towards his face and stroked it gently. Dennis closed his eyes and savored the sweet moments. Shana smiled, feeling his soft
"Boss, we lost her," said the kidnappers"What? How can you lose to a weak girl" Bethany was furious."Her husband came to rescue her" mumbled the man."That is impossible. He was with me a moment ago before he said he need to go for something urgent!!" Bethany can't believe that Dennis came to rescue Shana. She hates Shana even more. Shana ruined the only love of her life. Her plan had failed to complete the goal and her plan caused the death of one of her men."We must kill her," said Bethany as anger began to consume her. She began walking towards her study room.Bethany slammed open the study room door and stomped over to her computer. Her face darkened as she began typing furiously. All the data were transferred onto the computer screen. Her eyes burned with fury as she watched all the information that was collected on Shana. She clenched her fists tightly as she glared daggers at the monitor. She was so angry that Shana got away.She didn't realize how long she had been staring
