Married to a Gangster (English)

Chapter 6

Everything happened so fast and I don't understand a bit of it. Someone called me.. someone I don't know. And after that, there were gunshots, Shaw arrived and he took me with him but he won't say anything to me and it's frustrating me so much. I don't know what's happening and I left my friends there, I left Seije too.

"Are you okay?" Shaw asked me after putting a cup of milk at the table infront of me.

I looked at him, "Why are we here? Why did we leave? Let's call Seije, please Shaw.."

He sighed. He sat at the couch just infront of me while drinking his beer. "Like what I said earlier, I shouldn't be the one telling you about it.."

My forehead creased, "About what? I'm so confused right now, and scared.."

"Don't be scared Lorraine, Seije will surely come all the way here and get you. And I'm here, no one can hurt you."

It only added chaos to my mind. What is he talking about? Who will hurt me anyway? He speak in riddles, I don't understand him.

"Please drink the milk and calm down.."

I couldn't do anything but trust his words. I calmed down by drinking the milk and a few minutes later, I drifted to a sleep and maybe because of what happened, memories of the past visited me again in my dreams.

"You'll be mine .." He touched my cheek but I jerked his hand away.

"Let me go!" I yelled at the top of my lungs but he just laughed at me. His laugh sounds so scary, it gave me goosebumps. 

I badly want to cry for my brother's name but I know I should be strong, I know my brother will come to save me. He won't let me get hurt any further, he promised me won't let anyone hurt me.

"Help!" I continued shouting, hoping that someone out there will hear me, even when I feel like I'm in a secluded place and no one will hear me. I don't want to lose hope.

"Oh come on darling, no one will ever hear you from here." The man told me. He looks scary, someone with a familiar dark air and someone who can undoubtedly hurt me.

I don't know him and I swear I don't think I ever met him before, that's why I don't know did he kidnap me. Is he planning to use me against my brother? I glared at him and he laughed humorlessly before slapping me that made me spit a bit of blood.

"You're just like your brother, even when you know it's your end, you still look down on people like that."

"I don't know what you're talking about, " I said crying. It really hurts.

Another man walked towards us and handed him a metal in a triangular shape. My eyes widened when I realized what is it. And I was right when I thought what he's gonna do to me. He pressed that hot thing on my back and I screamed in so much pain. It was so hot, and I never felt that kind of pain in my whole life.

That created a scar on my back, and a scar in my life. And everytime I feel scared for my life and safety, that nightmare always comes back to me, like it has no plans on letting me go. And I wish it won't happen to me again, I wish I won't get hurt like that again, I wish I won't get involved in anything that isn't even my doing.

"Hey hey wake up.." I felt someone tapping my cheek lightly.

I opened my eyes and it widened when I saw Seije infront of me. I sat down immediately, "Seije!"

He sighed. Even when his face is dark and almost showing no emotions, I thought I still a bit of worry in his eyes.

"You're here.."

I blinked several times when his wiped my cheek using his thumb, his eyes darkened, "You're crying in your sleep.."

I was crying?

"Were you scared?" He held my hand and gently squeezed it. I looked at our hands before I looked back at him.

It was because of my dream, but I won't tell him.. My past should not be discovered by anyone, it should be forgotten.

"I.. I want to go home.."

He nodded, "Yes, we're going home, I will take you home now."

We've only been together for days but when he held my hand gently, I feel like I found my safety already. I don't know him that much but why do I feel like I can trust him? That I can lean on him? Why am I suddenly feeling this way?
