Hey guys, Here's the next chapter. Have fun reading......
Emerald POV:
I was sitting in my bed, lost in my thoughts, when I heard a knock at the door. Looking at the clock on the wall to the right, I wondered who could be there at this time of night. It's past midnight. My cousin Alex was standing at the door as soon as I opened it.
" Alex, what happened? Is there anything you need. " I asked him.
Since I entered this house, I've found him to be creepy. Every time I looked at him, he began staring at me from top to bottom, his eyes glistening with want. It made me hate him even more. I couldn't tell anyone as it was my uncle's house, and I don't even know if it was just me who was over thinking. He's my cousin, so he can't possibly do anything wrong for me. He is like family.
After my parents died, my uncle brought me here to live with his family. But I never wanted to stay here. I snapped out of my trance when Alex tried to get close to me. What is he trying to do? His face was an inch away from mine. I could smell alcohol coming from him. I was super scared. He wasn't in the right state of mind after being fully drunk.
" What in the world are you doing, Alex? " When he pushed me towards him and twisted my arm in my back, I screamed at him.
His grip on my hand was strong and tight, his nails dug into my soft skin. He began stroking my cheeks with his other hand. I flinched at his contact and tried to back away. But it's all in the veins.
" You have such a sexy body, baby girl. I've wanted you in my bed since the day you got here, " he said calmly.
I tried to scream, but he pressed his lips against my mouth. He was kissing me roughly. I couldn't fight him, and in a movement, he trapped me against the nearby wall with all his strength. I felt completely helpless at the time. My lips were sealed as he was trying to open them. My mind was completely blank. I couldn't do anything, not even shout.
When I felt his hand on my thigh, I got even more terrified and didn't know what to do. My eyes began to water. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes. I tried pushing him, but he didn't budge an inch. He was too strong, even in his drunken state, and I was too small compared to his beastly frame. His hand started moving upwards towards my inner thigh, I got even more scared. There was no way I could get out of this torture. Tears rushed down my cheeks. I closed my eyes to escape this situation, screaming one last time...........................

" Hey!!!..............Hey wake up! " I felt a hand on my shoulder shake me to wake up.
I slowly opened my eyes, feeling heavy and warm very warm. That was the worst part of the nightmare. I was sweating badly in this cold weather while breathing hard due to the nightmare. My eyes started to flood with tears. Then I realised someone was holding me to their chest, but I couldn't see who it was.
I struggled to move back and see who it was. It was none other than the monster I saw killing someone yesterday. Everything from the previous night surfaced. Seeing a murder, then trying to escape on the road, and almost being r***d but being saved by someone. This cannot be true. I'm still trapped in my nightmare. I blinked a couple of times.
" Are you all right? " the monster asked. He had a concerned look on his face. After much struggle, I moved away from him. I was terrified to death. Everything seemed to be spinning around me. My throat felt dry, and nothing came out of my mouth. How did I end up here with this man. I took in the surroundings. I couldn't understand anything.
The place that looked like someone's room was an unknown place for me. This wasn’t the same hotel room he had got me to before. I've never seen this place in my life. I began to wonder how I got here. Mr. monster stepped back and took a glass of water, which he held in front of me. I just took the glass and gulped the water all at once.
" Are you all right...? " " You were screaming and yelling " No!..Help " in your sleep, " he asked again, coming towards me, gently stroking my cheeks with his fingers.
" No, don't touch me, " I yelled as I backed away.
" What am I doing here, and why is this monster here? " I wondered.
" What exactly is this place? Why am I here? Why did you bring me here? " I asked, my eyes welling up.
" I'll tell you everything later, " he said calmly, " but first go freshen up and have something. "
I vaguely remember someone rescuing me from those b*t*rds. So, it was he who saved me. But why would a murderer do something like that for someone like me. Arhhhh… it's so confusing. Is he a good person or a bad person.
I was about to argue, but he continued, " There's the bathroom and closet beside it, " he said, pointing to the right.
" No, answer me first, " I yelled, refusing to move. I wanted my answers right away.
He just glared at me, and that was enough for me to obey his instructions. Trying to argue with him would be pointless; he will not listen. Anyway, I need to freshen up. My hair is all over the place, and I'm still in my last night's dress. I'm pretty sure I look like a mess.
I made my way to the bathroom, did my business, took a quick shower, and changed into a robe placed in one of the closets in the bathroom. I peeked out the door to see whether that monster was still there or not. The room was empty, and the door was closed tightly. I went to the walk-in closet and was surprised by the number of options. They were all stunning and seemed to be expensive. I looked through some of the dresses and put on one that fit me well. When I entered the room, the monster was sitting on the couch near the table.
When I entered the room, the monster was sitting on the couch near the table. As soon as he noticed me exiting the closet he said, " Come have your breakfast ". I ate my meal quietly, not wanting to provoke him to get angry or irratated at me.
" Thank you so much for everything you have done, " I said as I finished. " Can you answer now? " I asked.
" I brought you here after yesterday's incident. You shouldn't have left in such a hurry. and roam the empty streets at such a late hour. If I hadn't got there on time, anything could have happened to you, " he replied.
" Ohhh.... so the monster saves people's lives as well, and what else do you expect me to do other than that, after seeing what I had seen? " I thought.
" Thank you very much for rescuing me. Thank you for the breakfast and clothes. I'd return it in two days after the laundry, " I said, not being sure what else to say. I was expecting him to say something, but he remained silent and continued reading the papers.
" I'd take your leave then, " I said, as I was about to leave the room when I heard him.
" Where do you think you are going...? "
