"They are talking about Rupert, right?" I looked at Ron.

"They said his name, so I guess it is him." Ron answered while watching the news with a calm expression.

"You don't look surprised," I said. "Don't tell me you already know that side of him."

Ron took some time then looked at me.

"I am actually happy more than being surprised that he got caught." He shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, you know how manipulative he is. I am glad the police caught him before he could get away. Forget about him. Let's watch something else." He tried to change the channel. I snatched the remote from him.

"What do you mean, something else?" I raised the volume. "I need every detail."

As per the news, that girl named Anna was missing for two days. She lived with her uncle and aunt. When police started an investigation they found out that she went missing from some night club. When the police checked the surveillance camera they found out that the last time she was seen with Rupert, before she left the club with him. When police asked Mr. Rupert, he completely denied knowing anything about her. And after that when the police did some searching they found her remaining in the freezer with some frozen beef in the basement.

I shuddered a little when I realized something. "Now I don't want to think what could've happened that day when he attacked me." I looked at the screen. "Who knows, it could've been me."

I turned to Ron when he gripped my hand tightly. His eyes were burning with anger in them.

"I don't want you to even think about it!" He cupped my face with his hand. "Before he could even think about something like that I will make him fed by dogs." His icy blue eyes pierced into mine. "Alive."

"Whoa," I was shocked a little by Ron's words. "What are you saying? Do you know how scary you sounded right now?"

Ron paused as the fire in his eyes dimmed a little.

"I am just saying that he has to pass through me first." He smiled a little.

"No matter what, don't do anything like him." I pointed at the TV screen. "Do you understand me?"

"Yes mam." He smiled cockily.

I opened the door and pushed the wheelchair with Juane on it.

"So, what do you think?" I asked him with a cheerful voice, mixed with lots of cautiousness. Juane looked around for a few minutes then he sighed as he hung his head low.

"What's wrong?" I felt a little after seeing his expression. "You don't like the apartment?"

"Are you kidding?" Juane looked at me. "Liza, this apartment is way too high standard for me. And you really want me to stay here?"

"Umm, yes." I quickly nodded my head with a happy smile.

"Liza, I know you are trying to help me here and I am very thankful for that. But this is too much." He shook his head. "I can't accept that." He grip the wheels to turn around.

"Wait, wait, wait!" I quickly ran in front of him to block his way. "Listen to me first."

"Liza..." He tried to speak but I cut him off first.

"Please."

"Okay, I am listening." He agreed at last.

I was relieved a little but then tried to wreck my brain because I didn't think anything about what to do if he rejected the apartment. Actually I didn't even think that he would reject such a nice apartment.
