Chapter 1

• Jennie Wilson POV
• " Jennie Jennie "
• "Table 4 needs their order taken! Table 7 has coffees ready." Lisa shouted.
• "Coming.." I shouted back.
• Lisa was my bestie. Her mother owned a small coffee shop. Lisa's mother always had been a second mother to me. For almost a year I'd been working in the coffee shop as a part-time job.
• Lisa helped me in between. I was saving money for the college fees in which I will be going. The Hunsberg University.
• I always dreamed of going there. I heard it was one of the top Universities in the world. My family can't afford its fees easily.
• My family's financial condition was very poor. I am not complaining.... but my Mom and I were so dependent on my father. We looked upon him and solely relied on him financially.
• He was a laborer in a steel factory. He worked hard daily so that I could have a good future. I hated being a burden to him.
• His wages were not sufficient to lead a luxurious life. But we were a happy family no matter what our condition was. We always thanked God without complaining about our life.
• I loved my father so much. He was a good man without vices, God-fearing, jolly person, a very loving husband and caring father. I loved my family so much.
• My mother had heart disease. She needed surgery. We fought for her life. We lost our savings and cottage, just to keep up medicine expenses and the surgery of course.
• By God's grace she survived. She had mild pain, still after the surgery. She was advised by her physician not to do strenuous activities. We never let her to work outside. So I had to do a part-time job to cope up with my family expenses.
• Lisa's mother paid me well, not so well but it was sufficient to meet my daily expenses and some savings for my college fees.
• Lisa and I went to the same school. We finished high school together. We turned 18 this year. This means we are ready to go to college. Yayyy!
• We gave a college entrance exam together hoping that we would get selected together through a scholarship.
• I kind of admit.. I was a bit of a nerd. Well I can't help it, I had to study hard to enter that college through a scholarship. It was very tough, many like many competed to enter the famous Hunsberg University.
• If I graduate from that University, my family condition will get better and I can treat my family better by getting a decent job. That was the main reason I wanted to join that University.
• I was picking up some plates and the tips the customer left. Suddenly Lisa blocked me. She looked gorgeous in her gown.
• "Wait, why are you in a gown!?" I raised my eyebrows.
• "Uh...sorry I didn't tell you, well it's your fault. You were so busy here, you completely ignored me" she pouted.
• " Fine say now"
• " Mom and I are going to a ball, my mother's brother has invited us so..."
• " So....?"
• " So we will be leaving early..sorry sorry you have so much work to do" she said in one breath closing her eyes shut.
• " Oh come on, I got it, baby girl. Go enjoy the party." I grinned.
• "Are you su-"
• "Yes Lisa, GO. We have the day off tomorrow"
• "Okay just be careful while walking home" she hugged me tightly.
• " Bye Jennie, be careful" I heard her yell from outside already.
• I watched her go in her car. I grabbed the dishes and walked towards the sink. I started cleaning the dishes. It was 11pm. Suddenly I heard the small bell above the door tingling, signaling more customers.
• The cafe became pin drop silent.
• What stopped hustle and bustle in the cafe?
• Wait.
• Are customers coming or going?
• I turned suddenly, I gasped. A man in front of me. He wasn't that old, he looked like a college boy.
• He was staring at me. A nerve racking glare.
• More like he was undressing me with his eyes. As I stepped back he took a step forward.
• My heart hammered in my chest as I stepped back again and he followed in.
• "May... I..help you with something sir?" I shuttered. I was hell nervous.
• I panicked when I felt his large hands on my empty arms, yanking me closer to his body.
• " How could you do this to me Eva!!?" He asked in a dangerous tone which chilled me to the bone.
• I shivered in his voice. It's so rough and husky. My brain stopped working.
• "I..am...not Eva." I shuttered.
• His glare gave me shivers. His eyes were puffy and red, like he has cried a lot before.
• Is he a psychopath?!!!
• " Why do you always lie to me..? Do you hate me that much? Did you forget all the things we had!?" He shouted, pinning me to his chest.
• " I am sorry sir I don't know who you are!! Please leave me!!" I tried to free myself from his hold but he held me tight against him.
• " You f***ing cheated upon me. Is he better than me!? Answer me, Eva!!!" He looked way beyond angry now.
• "I never cheated anyone, in fact I have been single all throughout my life... I never had a boyfriend before okay!!!" I screamed.
• This mister is insane!
• "You f***ing dare lie to me again!" He pushed me away from him with an inhumane strength, so hard that I stumbled and fell back on the ground.
• I wanted to cry....but I should not show my weakness to him.
• He shouldn't know I am helpless.
• I can see the aversion in his eyes, The coldness. The hatred.
• Towards me? But what is my fault?
• I don't even know him!
• Tears were threatening to fall on the ground. I took a sharp breath and controlled my tears.
• He was taking large steps towards me. He looked like a maniac.
• I started jerking back, I was still on the ground. I pushed myself away from him with the help of my hands.
• "Please.....don't come near...me! Who are you!?" I stammered.
• Suddenly he grabbed me and lifted me up by arms. I tried to wriggle from his hold but he didn't let me escape.
• He pinned me to the wall harshly, his body dangerously hovering over mine and I got scared by his behavior.
• " Leave..me please, I don't know you mister!!" My voice trembled in pain.
• I was so scared.
• " Where were you till now!? Don't you miss me..? Didn't think of me even once?? "
• He was dead close to me. His breath was fanning my neck. I tried to push him but he didn't move a little.
• Where was I till now?
• " It's none of your business. And last time I am warning you, if you don't leave me then I may have to file a case against you to the cops"
• "What?" He said in a shocked tone.
• Yes. I guess he is scared of cops.
• " Yes, please leave me alone, don't make me call the cops! " I said in a firm voice.
• He looked at me with a stern face, his surprisingly handsome face turning into something frightening.
• Why is he angry?
• Why is he gritting his teeth?
• His grip on me went steely. He was holding my hand rather too forcefully.
• " Even if those clowns come, you can't escape from me baby, no matter how much ever you try. " He whispered in my ears, biting my earlobe. It gave me chills down my spine. My eyes widened with fear.
• " P-please. It's hurting" I cried when his hand tightened around my jaw.
• "It's okay. I won't hurt you sweetheart. " he sounded like a psychopath.
• This is the end of my life.
• Please help! Somebody help!..
• I wanted to shout and scream, but my voice wasn't reaching my mouth.
• My whole body felt frozen, my brain was reeling out.
• Then suddenly, to my horror he angled his head to kiss me..
• No...no...my first kiss..it's going to happen!!
• I tilted my head looking to the side, tears escaping from my eyes, but he gripped my jaw, his breath on my cheeks.
• " Eva....look at me Eva! Why are you doing this to me!? Why are you ignoring me like this!? "
• He made me look at him and I was shocked as I saw tears rolling down his cheek.
• He was shedding tears, shaking my mind and my heart in chaos.
• " How could you abandon me even after making all those promises? How easy do you think I am?? "
• His grip on my jaw went painfully tight, his face dangerously hovering over mine and I whimpered.
• " Please sir I don't know what you are taking out! Please leave me!" My voice trembled.
• " It hurts...Everything hurts." He said through his tears sounding sadistic, his lips brushing through my earlobe, my shivers increasing.
• He was too close.
• I was going weak due to pressure, his tip of his thumb caressing my lower lip like he was about to kiss me but I couldn't move my face.
• I closed my eyes, a tear escaping my eyes like this was it.
• I think I'm going to appear in the newspaper tomorrow.
• Suddenly I felt like someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him.
• I felt his hold loosened. I was breathing heavily now.
• " What the f***!??? Leave me alone!! " the maniac shouted as two boys, maybe of his age, pulled him.
• " Dude, she is not Eva...for God sake, you are overreacting." One of the guys said with a concerned look on his face.
• My head started spinning. I was under a panic attack as I saw him screaming.
• A girl started reaching towards me..
• " No...don't touch me.." I stepped back holding myself panting hard.
• "Please get out....don't touch me...leave!" I screamed holding my head. They were holding that maniac with both of their hands.
• He was screaming and wriggling from their hold.
• " YOU ARE MINE! AND I WILL HAVE YOU SOON "
• A girl was giving me a concerned look, but I signaled her to leave me alone.
• They went off, taking the maniac away from the cafe. They made him climb into an SUV car and they left the place.
• My legs couldn't support me any more. I fell down. I was crying very hard now. I was broken, hurt.
• I shouldn't stay here longer.
• What if he comes back!!!
• I grabbed my belongings from my locker and headed out of the door.
• I was shaking and trembling. I somehow managed to lock the store and ran down the street.
