Prey of a Predator

Chapter 19

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Oh god, what should I do? I tried to remove his hand from the man's neck but failed to do so. Just as I was about to grab his hand again, my veil fell and my face was now uncovered. At that moment, I saw the hand from the man's neck, retreating and the man sat down on the ground catching his breath while two big hands grabbed my veil and pulled it back in order to cover my face and then grabbed my waist. I looked at his face for which I had to crane my face upwards and saw that it was red. I didn't dare to speak anything else after that and just after few moments, he again looked at the shopkeeper and said,"How dar-" and I immediately kept a hand over his mouth and said that not to speak. He looked shocked at first but in seconds, his shock turned into amusement and he licked my palm so I removed it from his mouth. This man is crazy.

I looked at the shopkeeper and pushed Henry away. The moment his grip loosned, I went to the shopkeeper and gave him some water which I took from a pot of another store. I made sure that the man drank water, and when the man looked fine enough, I went to Henry, grabbed his hand and started dragging him towards a less crowded place as I was afraid that if the man would have seen us after that, he would have shouted and called everyone there and I didn't want to create any chaos because of him.

I went towards a Banyan tree while dragging him with me and when I reached there, I left his hand. Then I looked him in the eyes and god the look he had, he was clearly enjoying this. I glared at him asking,"Kyun mere piche pade ho? Kyun nhi picha chod dete? Kya lagti hoon main tumhari? Akela chod do mujhe please."(Why are following me? Why can't you just leave me alone? What relation do I have with you? Leave me alone please).

🔥 "If I kill your family, will you be with me?"

🌸 "What? Why are you going this far? I don't even know you, your full name, your birthday or anything. Besides, we have whole different cultures, religion, beliefs and moreover, you are a monster who kills people for your own fun and cruelly collect taxes. Why would you think I would go with you?"

🔥 "Why I am going this far? Because I love you and want to marry you. And you want to know me? I will gladly tell you everything about me but you have to tell me about yours, okay darling?"

🌸 "I don't want to know you just leave me alone and please don't hurt my family, I love them."

🔥 "You don't want me to hurt the ones you love but what about me? You hurting me by rejecting my love."

🌸 "What else would you expect me to do? Fall in love with the man who has made my country's people life, a living hell or accept his love because if not, then he will hurt my family?"

🔥 "Unless you will leave me with no other option, I won't hurt your family. Trust me, my love."

🌸 "How can I, when I don't even know you?"

🔥 "My full name is Henry Machester, birthday is 19th of July, 1841, and the colour I like is your eyes, the smell I like is Rose's which smells like you, taste I like is probably going to be your lips, and person I like is you. And rest you don't have to worry about it because you are mine and I don't let anyone near what's mine. But if you try to separate yourself from me then your whole family will be punished, got it my love?"

🌸 "What is this punishment for? For bumping into you that night in the garden? Then punish me not my family, I beg you."

🔥 "This is the reward of catching my eyes and stealing my heart. The first time I saw you near that lake, I gave my heart to you. And because you have my heart, shouldn't it be right that I keep my lifeline with me?"
