"Please, please let me go," she pleaded, tears rolling down her cheeks. "No" was the only thing that managed to escape my mouth. It was difficult for me to see her in tears. I wanted to embrace her in my arms and soothe her, but I couldn't. I don't have much of a choice but to keep her with me. "But why?" she asked, annoyed. "I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you the truth, Em." It would absolutely break you. I'm not sure how you'll react once you find out the truth. You might just hate me a lot. I must protect you from that bloody monster. I just can't let you go. I really can't please understand, "was all I could think to say to her, but she wasn't in the right frame of mind to fully understand it. " I can't tell you that, but you can't leave this place, and that's the end of it," I said authoritatively, slightly raising my voice. "I thought you were a good person, but I was absolutely wrong about you. You are no better than those people who attempted to hurt me, "she said, her face filled with rage, sadness, and a hint of hatred. "Who the hell are you?" she exclaimed. For a brief moment, I considered revealing my true identity, but there would be a lot of danger. "I'm....." I was just about to continue when she cut me off. "I know you are more than just a businessman. There can't be so many bodyguards around you with all those guns. You too, have a gun yourself. If I'm not mistaken, there would not be much security unless it was a life-threatening problem." " I don't like it when someone interrupts me. You better be careful the next time, "I hissed. She tried hard not to look scared, but her eyes said it all. "Well, you're right, I'm not just a businessman, but also a mafia leader," she exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock and fear. " Don't be afraid, sweetheart; I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not the type of person who would inflict harm on the defenceless. " I said, taking a few steps towards her. "Please stay where you are. Don't get too close to me. or else..... I'll… jump out of the window. " She took a step back, looked around and towards the window. I was worried that she would just do what she said. It got me really frustrated, how could she think about something like that? But I couldn't just yell at her and make things worse. I didn't want to take any chances with her. "No, you are not doing anything like that. I won't be anywhere near you. Now you're happy. "I took a few steps back and said. "Leave me alone," she whispered, tears streaming down her face, and I had no choice but to leave the room to cool off after our heated argument. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lead Characters: Meet Emerald, a 23-year-old beautiful girl with brown hair, fair skin, a small nose, and plump lips.
