Chapter 58
Jennie Wilson POV
” What the hell! Vincent! Let me go!! I said let me g-”
” SHUT UP! SHUT YOUR F****ING MOUTH BEFORE I KILL YOU!! ” He roared out into my face, the venom in his words forcing me to shrink and close my eyes. A tear escaping against my will.
” I think you forgot who owns who here. When I say you to sleep here means you sleep here. You don’t get to boss me around. I am running this show and you are going to act according to it! GOT IT? ” I flinched out, more tears escaping against my will.
” Talking back and defying me …… I’m done enduring and playing around now. My patience with you goes till here, try getting out of this bed and check me …… ”
His face twisted in an ugly grimace of fury and madness ” And trust me …… I will make it worst for you …… Because I am a f***ing psychopath you see?”
His grip became punishing on my wrists ” A mentally disordered maniac, not a gentleman. So you better obey my rules accordingly if you want to f***ing survive. ”
He hissed at me and I could also feel him tremble in a barely controlled anger. He released me abruptly. His eyes flashing with vehement rage as he stepped away from me.
I rolled over and buried my face onto the pillow, silently crying out, my body shaking vigorously.
I tried to hold back my tears, but I couldn’t, I just wanted to run back to my parents, escape this cruel city and people around here.
I flinched out when I heard him throw something with a loud sound, indicating that he was getting angry and I quivered in fear closing my eyes tightly.
I am going to die today !
God why is it always me! Why only me!
I again flinched when heard a loud bang of door closing and I feel like he had entered bathroom. I didn’t even dare to look back, shivering internally.
I heard shower sound and I closed my eyes pretending to not to hear anything, but my my mind wasn’t listening, stirring fear deep within me.
I wanted to get off the bed but his threat was struck on my head and I didn’t dare to move a single inch, not daring to go against him. I quivered in fear as seconds ticked by, like I was counting my last breaths.
I am going to die tonight!
I am going to die tonight!
After minutes I heard the door opening and I gripped the blanket tightly as I heard many sounds as his foot moved around for minutes.
But then the light was suddenly turned off, my pulse was speeding up and I felt mattress shrink a little and I closed my eyes tightly, my stomach doing a summersault.
My curiousness was on another level and I couldn’t resist it no hard I tried. I looked back unconsciously without even thinking once.
He had faced opposite of mine, laying at the edge of the bed, leaving a large space between us, making me speechless.
I thought we would be sandwiched together. Was I really that tiny or he isn’t that much of a giant……?
Wait…… He is shirtless! but was wearing a boxer. My heartbeat went haywire, my mind in complete chaos. I opened my mouth but closed it instantly, not even daring to utter a word, who knows if I will be buried in coffin today.
I flipped back facing opposite, my heart drumming madly against my chest, cursing my life and I closed my eyes quickly. I felt like room was getting hotter into several degrees, suffocating me within.
I don’t why I wasn’t getting sleep, I again dared to turn slowly and saw him sleeping silently. Did he doze off already??
Great I am sharing the bed with my bully !
What else I have to see in my life now?
I turned back and closed my eyes, forcing myself mentally to sleep, but I couldn’t trust this Vincent sleeping here too. I had never been in this situation before, sharing room with a strange, weird man of course.
Sleep Jennie! You have a long day ahead to suffer tommorow …… Who knows what’s coming next!
No I won’t sleep…… No matter what!
Time ticked by and I was actually slightly dozing off now, but I was revolting from sleeping off, blinking my eyes rapidly.
…….
But then I finally gave up my guards, my eyes shutting completely.
* Few hours later *
…….
” No! I didn’t do it!! No! No! ”
I suddenly got up from sleep, rubbing my eyes as I heard something and I looked around in anticipation.
” Please trust me……! Please…… no!”
Vincent was heaving heavily in sleep, and I looked at him shocked. He was struggling internally, sweating profusely.
I jolted when tears started escaping from his eyes, rendering me in shock. Is he having a nightmare?
” Please trust me……”
Trust me?????
I shifted towards him quickly and held his arm, tapping his cheek. ” Hey Vincent!? Vincent? Wake up! Are you alright?”
” No…… please don’t leave me……” he murmured again, tears sliding out more.
” VINCENT!” I shouted out, shaking him more this time and he opened his eyes in horror and looked at me.
…….
” …… Eva? ……” He said wiping his eyes to see clearly, I guess his eyes were blurring out. ” Eva??????”
He stared at me for a while, like he was scanning me, pushing my hair aside, heavy tears started flowing more through his eyes and everything churned in me completely.
He suddenly held me tightly crying more than ever. ” Please don’t do this ……”
” I am dying here, please take me away with you. Life has become unbearable here , I feel like I am nothing here ”
Unbearable? His words sliced my soul completely, and it broke my heart seeing him this vulnerable.
How could a person be this lost?
” I …… I feel like everybody hates me here and just want to abandon me, marrying me off and what all …… I really can’t endure this toxic life anymore ” Vincent said crying out, ducking his head on my shoulder.
I learned soon enough that many people in this place felt lonely. They felt like they had been pushed aside and forgotten by their families.
Why don’t they get love they deserve?
I don’t know why a tear escaped from my eye as his sorrow cut through me deeply.
I held him tightly caressing his back silently, not daring to utter a word, what if he comes to know I am not his Eva he might throw me off the building who knows, and I still can’t predict things.
I silently patted his head in an attempt to lessen his cry without speaking a word, but he was hiccuping, crying even more, silently.
” I am sorry, please don’t be mad at me …… Please don’t abandon me leaving me all alone here with these people. I am …… I am scared …… I don’t know what I am doing ……” Vincent whispered out, his voice trembling vigorously and I patted him softly.
” Please. You promised me …… you will stay beside me …… cure me. So you are not allowed to go back to your village leaving me all alone here…… Never . .”
Heh???????
Village???? Did he say village????
He snuggled up to me, ducking his head onto my base of my neck.
” What did you say?” I pushed his head a little and looked at him surprised, but his wet eyelashes was shutting, unconsciously dozing, not uttering a word anymore.
” Vincent?” I shook him a little but he whined and pulled me dangerously close to him, completely covering me in his embrace, making my heart almost jump out of my chest.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
” Vinnncent!!” I whisper yelled at him but he patted my head, caressing my hair softly ” Shhh…… Sleep…… You are not allowed to leave me.”
Was he referring to Eva or me?
But I think I heard village though……
…….
Was he actually telling it to me all this time??????????????
I stared at him in shock and
couldn’t calm the sickening tempo of my heartbeat.
If this is true then …… Is he scared that he will be abandoned or left alone here just because …… me going back to my village?
He didn’t wanted me to leave way from the start …… even before Elora came?
My heartbeat skyrocketed when all his words he just said sunk in. Is this why he came all the way to kitchen to talk to me and was mad while playing truth or dare?
I don’t know why a smile crept my lips making my heart go crazy. Everything froze in time and place around me. I studied his sleeping face amusingly.
He was sleeping little uneasily but quietly and I started at him, my pulse rasing like horse. Is it really true what I am assuming in my mind or it’s just a illusion?
He doesn’t want me to leave him?
I don’t know why I couldn’t smile foolishly and literally didn’t knew why I was doing it. Is it because it’s rare coming out from his mouth as I received maximum insults till now?
He always looked like he loved to kill me and make me cry anytime and nothing else, but this moment was contradicting everything.
I blinked my eyes looking at him to confirm if I wasn’t dreaming. I slightly touched his face to confirm he was real and ironically he was real, warmth radiating my skin, everything was real! I stared him quietly.
Why don’t you say that you don’t want me to leave in front of me instead of throwing baseless insults……
Don’t let me to be near you but you don’t want to leave me too. I pinched his long pointed nose.
Which one do you want hmm? I wiped his wet lashes with my thumb pouting. He did consume alcohol today though, did he spurt out nonsense? But I don’t think he was that tipsy too……
I caressed his hair gently pushing it back and he snuggled whining softly like a puppy and I left a soft chuckle. Cute!
He was definitely attractive to be frank rich and powerful too, no wonder girls fell for him …… But not me, nope …… Maybe if he wasn’t that egoistic and arrogant, I might have liked him, and if we would have met in different situation……
