This is the most unluckiest day of my life. I wanted to just have a peaceful life but I don't know why suddenly people wants to kill me.

   I ran for my life but I crashed into something or it was someone. I fell down and looked up.

   It was someone I never expected to be here, It was Mr. Romano. I never in my life was this happy to see someone. He gave me his hand to get up but at that time I was too emotional and scared so I just jumped onto him and hugged him.

   I was a crying mess, but was happy that now I will not die, I will be safe now. He will protect me.

"You alright, are you hurt anywhere" he asked me in worried tone.I just shook my head in a no because I wasn't in any condition to speak.

   He just hugged me back and I was no more scared of anything. His arms around me were my safety net.

"You think you can run away from me girl" I heard that creep coming out of that apartment and I looked back to him he had that knife again in his hand.

   Mr. Romano removed his arms and told me "Go down, Enzo is there". I just listened to him because I don't want to make stupid decisions anymore.

   I ran towards the stairs. I know he would handle this, because he is more stronger and powerful in comparison to that creepy guy.

   I saw Enzo, he was standing near a car. "Are you ok Miss" he asked and I nodded. He opened the car door for me and I sat inside, relieved that I am safe.

   He came down after a while and entered into the car. We left that horrifying place to go back to hotel. He didn't say a word to me the whole ride and it was a relief because I am still not ready to speak something. The car ride was silent and anyone could feel the tense atmosphere inside it.

    We reached the hotel and I got out to go back to my room to calm myself.
But that didn't happen because now I am in Mr. Romano's penthouse.

   I am sitting on his couch and he is sitting exactly opposite of me. There was a pin drop silence, no one saying anything but there is so much going inside our head. He was looking very calm from outside but he was not.

"So tell me Miss Rose how you can be so stupid" he spoke first and I can here frustration in his voice.

    I just looked down, I know it was my fault, I really made a stupid decision of going there and agreeing to see the apartment even after having those creepy vibes. I should have listened to my instincts.

"Say something Miss Rose, what was the urgency to go to see that place without checking any authentication. You know you could have been killed there if I didn't came on time". He said  getting louder with each sentence.

   I didn't have any words to say, I was the stupid one always making wrong decisions. I don't think I could give any reasons for my stupidity.

   He left his seat and came closer to me. He lean over me and put his both hands on the sides of sofa to make me look upto his face.

"Answer me Miss Rose, what was the reason to put yourself in danger and get yourself killed". He said in his anger.

"I--I didn't know" I could only say that.

"Really so even if you didn't know, do you just go to unknown places like this, don't you think it will be not safe" he said shouting at me.

   He was angry at me but I wasn't scared. For the first time in my life someone cared about my safety. I never felt this way but this feeling of knowing that someone care about me is very comforting.

"Thankyou" I spoke and he just looked at me confused.

"Thankyou for coming there and saving my life. Thankyou for protecting me" I said what I wanted to say for this whole time but couldn't able to.

   He just stared at me. He removed his hands from the sofa and stood up back again.

"I know I made a very stupid decision, I should not go anywhere unsafe but I didn't know people wanted me dead". I said thinking about that horrifying experience.
