Hidden Heart: A Saga Of Redemption

To The Heaven!

[Amelia was trying to escape, but Oswald was too strong. She felt trapped and panicked, her heart was racing.]

Amelia: (pleading) Please, Oswald, just let me go. You can't do this.

Oswald: (pressing her cheeks with a dirty mind) I won't let you out until you agree to be with me.

[At that moment, maybe the God was for her sake today. Fortune favors her. The door burst open, and Victor stepped in, his face was a mask of fury. But no one knew when he wore his mask again. Maybe he heard everything from outside and that's why he wore it to face Oswald.]

[However, he grabbed Oswald by the collar and shoved him away from Amelia.]

Victor: (angrily) Get away from her, Oswald!

[Amelia stumbled back, her eyes wide with relief and shock. Victor's presence was a lifeline which she hadn't expected.]

Oswald: (struggling) Victor, listen......to (stopped)

[Oswald had to stop because Victor gave him a deadly punch that's why he fell on the floor. But he didn't stop there he snatched him to stand him and slapped him hard.]

Victor: (angrily) Listened to you right? (Slapped again). Yeah I've..... I've. (Slapped again) How dare you touch her? (Slapped again)

[With each slap, Oswald's body recoiled, his face reddening with the force of Victor's blows. Finally, Victor released him, letting him fall to the ground. Oswald's entire body ached from the sting of Victor's slaps.]

Victor: (harshly and in loud voice) You're fired, Oswald. (Added) And before I'll do anything (screaming) legal just get out of my cafe.

[Oswald accepted his defeat, spat the blood on the ground caused by that brutal punch and without a word, he picked himself up and left, his pride shattered.]

[Victor was literally huffing with anger as his mind was a whirlwind of rage. Suddenly the power was back and the light filled each and every corner of the room. He turned to Amelia, who was huddled on the floor with her head buried in her knees. His expression softened slightly. He maintained the same distance where he was standing.]

Victor: (gently) Amelia.

[She looked up at him once, her face streaked with tears, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and lingering fear. For a moment, they just looked at each other, the silence of the room became heavier with unspoken emotions. Then, without a word, Amelia got up and rushed to him, throwing her arms around him in a desperate embrace. Amelia held onto Victor very very tightly, as if afraid he might disappeared as it seemed that he would never escape from her grip.]

_Background_

"I never thought that You would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around
And you knocked me off the ground from the start.

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home.

How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home."

('Arms', by Christina Perri)

[Victor felt an unknown feeling overall his body. A warmth which no one could explain, even no one could ever explain. He sensed as if this person was his own, someone who was beyond his rage. He wrapped his arms around her, trying to soothe her. Her bun was opened during the hazard. He stroked her hair gently. His own heart ached seeing her like this, and he wished he could do more to ease her pain.]
