Chapter 6 What Can I Do Now?
- Hannah
- I didn’t wanna create a scene so I kept quiet until we reached his cabin. He closed the door and I got out of his hold.
- “What the hell is this?” I almost yelled.
- “I am happy these doors are sound proof” he smirked and I was a little scared. Soundproof. No one will even hear me scream. Oh fuck, I should stop thinking this stuff.
- I took a step back. “Stay away” I whispered but my voice looked as if I was completely scared. He got back and went far.
- “No need to be so scared”
- “Where do I have to sit and work?”
- “You will get your cabin tomorrow. Today, you can work here”
- “What the hell? I am not working here!”
- He sighed. “Look, Hannah. Don’t be dramatic. I am really just trying to make things good because we are gonna work--”
- “Because of you. You can just end the contract. Why will you create a problem and then try to find a solution when we clearly have a better solution?”
- “Hannah look, I am so serious about this. Don’t make me mad. I don’t think that I wanna talk shit right now”
- “Don’t you dare try to control me”
- He sighed in frustration. “Fine Hannah. You are my employee and you gotta work the way I tell you lest there is something that harms you. You are gonna work here now and that’s my order” he went out and I just stood still.
- I don’t know what to do now.

- Keith
- I was working in a restaurant. I had plastic surgery two years ago so that I wouldn't get caught and it worked. I am so happy that they could never catch me.
- It was really something worth celebrating because it is difficult to not get caught by the American Police. Ah, I am so lucky. I got the surgery in Japan.
- If Max’s dad hadn’t helped me… I would have never made it out of America without being caught. Yup, you read it right. Max’s dad.
- Well. Whatever it is, I am happy--
- “Hello, please take this order” I heard a waiter and I nodded. I am a chef here.
- Nah, I wasn’t interested in cooking but what can I do…
- I took the order and started making the next food. My cooking was a little better than normal cooks, so our restaurant was always crowded. I was overloaded most of the time but it was okay with me.
- I may not be earning very much, but I am happy. You know, I never talked about stuff like this. But I guess the new face has given me a new personality too. I have been more positive and maybe a little better human than I was before. Maybe I am a little sweeter and maybe a little less rude but I know what I did when I was younger and I don’t know how to feel about that.
- I mean, I don’t wanna hate myself. I know how wrong I did. I kidnapped a girl, I even looked at her in the wrong way and touched her without her permission but that is what I was back to them. That’s not who I am today.
- I can’t even think of accepting my past. It looks as if I was okay with what I did. No, I can never accept it even when I know that I have changed. I have seen people accept themselves even after they have done the worst.
- But trust me, it sucks. It sucks to think that it was you. The one who did it all. I mean, you just can’t live with it. It suffocates you inside.
- You must be thinking if it is really that difficult then why am I still alive? surely I should have died but honestly, I have someone I live for. And you know what? This is a worse condition. You literally can’t see someone loving you when you hate yourself. And she loves me so much. I love her too but I am always so insecure because who knows if she will love me till the end.
- If you are wondering who she is… well, she is Caroline. Yeah, caroline. She… and I… got together after I changed myself. I don’t know what happened to Cody. She never told me and honestly, I am least interested in knowing his story.
- All I know is, I love her and I am happy.
- I gave the dish to the waiter and he took it and then he came running to me.
- “What happened?” I asked him.“The CEO of Swifts Corporation is here!! This is insane!”
