If I ran away, he would kill me. If I resist, he will force me. If I fight, I might be tortured too. So, the only safe option for now was to submit... The back of my throat dried when I willingly held his large hand with my cold and shaky ones. He smiled beautifully, kissing my knuckles. "Thank you. I won't disappoint you, at least." He whispered. "You.. are not lying, are you?" I asked in a trembling tone. "Why don't we find out? I could only try to show you that and rest is up to you. But I swear on one thing, I won't touch without your consent anymore." He swore, leaving me at a loss of words. I was silent as he got down, picking the fallen fork and knife and got me new ones from the kitchen to sit closely to me as I was in pure bewilderment of what I had done.
