OUR ILL FATE

Chapter 3

Eleanor’s pov.

I pushed the library door open and stormed inside. I can't believe Mia just ditched me for her boyfriend, Arnoldo.

It's not as if I'm jealous or anything. Or maybe I am.

“ Ahhhh”, I don't want to feel this way, but part of me feels lonely. Part of me also wants to experience this love and everything.

I have hooked up with boys, but they all just want to get into my pants. I have never actually had an official boyfriend.

I'm still a virgin. I know it's kind of strange to find a nineteen-year-old virgin nowadays, but I don't just want to give it to anyone. I want to give it to someone I truly love.

I don't know why my mind just thought of Sergio at that point. I know he looks dangerous, but I can't just stop thinking about him.

I took some random novels to the library to read. I have read all the novels in this library. I always go to the library every day except weekends with Mia. Maybe that's why I got angry that she ditched me for him.

I love novels because they free my mind and take me to another world of fantasy. I need it right now to cool me down and also stop thinking about him.

……..

Beep!!

“ Holy s**t!” I can't believe it's already 6 pm. I got so intrigued by this novel that I didn't even know time had gone so fast. I quickly stood up and left the library hurriedly.

My mom set that alarm on my watch for me. My curfew at home is 6 pm. So she set it in case I lost track of time and forgot myself. The city library is like 20 minutes from my house, so I decided to walk.

The main road was so busy with cars. Today is Wednesday and I don't know why Wednesday is always so busy. I decided to take the other route that I take sometimes.

Though mom told me not to take this route because it's always lonely, I really wanted to take it right now. It's around my neighborhood, so I decided to just take it. I just want to think about myself in a quiet environment.

My mind drifted to Sergio. Will I see him again? I really want to.

In all this thought, I didn't notice anyone following me.

Oh my God. I started trembling because I looked ahead of me and it was so lonely. I mentally cursed myself for taking this route.

I started walking faster, but the man increased his pace too. God, please help me. I held my bag and books tightly against myself.

I started running, but he overtook me and hit my leg, making me fall brutally on the ground. He forcefully dragged my bag and books and threw them on the ground.

“ Ahhhh, pl..ease leave me. Who are you?” I asked with a shaking voice. My palms were so sweaty right now and my body was trembling.

“ Beautiful,” the strange man said while lingering closer to me. At that point, he was on top of me and I could smell alcohol from him.

“ Please let me go. Someone please help me.” I screamed at the top of my voice. My mind darkens at what he wants to do to me. I was wearing a gown which would be easier for him.

“ God please send me a savior. This can't happen please.” I prayed mentally to myself.

He pinned my hands above my head, making it harder for me to fight against him. He was so strong. His hands started roaming from my thigh to my inner thigh.

“ Nooooo! Please, I beg of you. Don't.” I begged, but it was like music to his ears. I am crying badly right now. This can't just happen. I closed my eyes, praying for God to send me a savior.

Before he got to my panties, he left me. No, he was jacked off from me. I opened my eyes immediately and saw my savior punching him aggressively.

I started crying and shaking more. I was beyond scared. My savior looked at me and a part of me was elated.

Sergio. He rushed towards me and held me tightly. I buried my face in his chest and cried out bitterly.

“ It's okay, Eleanor. It's okay. I'm so sorry I didn't come earlier.” he said while patting my head gently. My crying subsided and I looked at him.

“ Tha..nks so, so much for saving me. If you hadn't, I wonder…ed what he would have done to me.” I said in a stuttering voice.

“ It's okay. It's okay. No one will ever harm you again. I promise you. Come, let me take you somewhere to calm down.”

“ Okay, thank you,” I said to him and we both stood up. He picked my bags and books from the ground, and he wrapped his hands around me. I felt so secure and safe under his hold that I held him back so tightly.

He took me to the park along the way, and we sat on a bench.

“ Eleanor, I'm coming, give me a minute.” He said, standing up and leaving me alone.

“ Please don't go. I don't want to be alone. Pl..ease.”

“ I'm not leaving you alone, baby girl. I just want to call my men to bring my car, so I can take you home, okay? No one is going to hurt you. I promise.” he told me while kissing my forehead, reassuring me.

He ran off, and I felt so scared and alone. What if that man came back? No. He won't. Sergio already promised me I'm safe. I wiped my rolling tears off my face.

He ran back to me in about 5 minutes and held my hands.

“ Come, my car is here. Let me take you home, okay?”

“ Yes, I will love that. Thanks.” I stood up, and he held me in a secure position. I felt so safe even though It was the second time we had interacted.

We walked to his car and he sat me down. He put my seat belt on for me and gave me a reassuring smile. I smiled back at him. I took my bags and books from him and kept them in my lap.

He closed my door and went into the driver's seat and he sped off. My house isn't so far from here, so we got home in less than 5 minutes. I just realized I hadn't given him my address, so how did he know?

I looked up at him, and he smiled at me. I didn't want to ask him that, but I will ask him when we next meet.

“Where is your phone?”

He asked me and I unlocked it and gave it to him. He typed something on the phone and gave it back to me.

“ I saved my phone number on your phone. Next time if you get into any trouble, just call me, okay?? I will be there immediately.”

“ Okay. Thank you very much. ”

I said to him, and I was about to get down when he held my wrist, stopping me. I looked up at him, staring into his brown eyes.

He came close to me and pecked me on my cheeks, which were dangerously close to my lips. I looked up at him, and he smiled coldly at me.

I got down from the car with my things and waved him bye, and he did too, then zoomed off. I didn't want to think much of that peck. Maybe he did that to reassure me that I was safe, nothing more.

What a day today has been.

“ Oh my God Ely, where have you been? We have been so worried about you. It's almost 7 pm and who was that sweetie?”
