It's been two days since I came back from Egypt.
Two days since that strange man refused to let me see his face,he just told me his name Dominik Lev.
I've never heard that name,he said he's Russian and he's a businessman.
I don't understand why hide his face from me.
And his words kept recalling.

"I wish I can kill Dante but I wasn't told to do so"
He uttered when we were in the plane.

"What do you mean? Are you working for someone. Is somebody telling you to follow me around?stalk me?"

I asked him but he didn't answer, he just chuckled telling me to enjoy the flight.
He's so strange. And it's so strange that I'm finding it strange to report him to the police. And very very strange of me to be in a flight with my unknown stalker,I mean I just know his name.

And now, here I am, sitting down with an angry mom.
I mean I should be the one to be angry right now.
She just scolded me in the presence of two men.

"Mum I-"

"You shouldn't have done that, he's a nice man."

"He's far from it. He's far from being nice.
You don't know him like I do,mum."

"Tell me.."

"Mum. He's Dante for crying out loud. Dante, the man that harass me,call me all sort of names. The man that I hate so much, mum, and you just scolded me all because of him."

"Dear, tell me it's not true."

"Yes it is,mum. He even hurt my friends, didn't you see Elena's condition? He's responsible for it, he's hurt me much."

"He deserves more than just a slap.
But I told you to stay away from him,why are you still involved with him."
She jabbed in anger.

"Mummy, he's a dangerous man,I met him Egypt too. He was talking about trafficking innocent girls and I wanted to help the girls so I confronted him, saying that I'll report him but they was suddenly a fight in the club we were. And I panicked due to the gunshots, and fell unconscious,then he took me to his resident.
Then he came up with this deal that could change my life forever,I know I'll always regret my decision mum, but forgive me,I had no other choice."
I sniffles, narrating it to her.

"What did he made you do?"

"To keep my mouth shut,I have to be his wife."
As the tears streamed down my cheeks, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. I couldn't believe that I was about to marry someone I didn't love, I knew deep down that my life was going to be nothing but a constant struggle, a rollercoaster of emotions and pain.

I've been taught in the hardest way that love is a beautiful thing but for men, it's just a myth. They don't understand the true meaning of love and they never will. All they know is how to take what they want no matter the cost to others. They don't deserve the love and trust we give them because they will only break our hearts in the end.

"Love is supposed to be a two-way street but for men, it's just a selfish game. They pretend to care but in reality, they only care about their own desires. They take what they want forcefully without any regard for our feelings. Love doesn't exist for them, it's just a means to satisfy their own needs. I can't trust any man with my hearts because they don't deserve it."

"Mum,I want you to know that I hate him so much, at least his mum is sweet."

"Oh dear, come here"
In that moment all I needed was her comforting hug and her gentle touch. As she held me close patting my hair and wiping my tears, I could feel all my worries and fears slowly melt away. She was my safe haven, my rock and her actions spoke volumes without her uttering a single word.
