Trust Me

Chapter 4: Saviour?

"You should be." there was a sharpness in his tone that makes me stunned in cold.

But, I shouldn't show him I'm affected in his threat. I shouldn't show him my weakness. After all, he's still a criminal. And he's the smart and tricky one. So I should be more careful.

"Well, there's nothing to be afraid of, Vougner. I won't escape." I assured him. Trying to make the ambiance comfortable and less intense.

"Now, sure you won't. But tommorow, we weren't sure you still won't. The only thing constant in this world is change and a girl like you easily change their minds, so I shouldn't be confident."

"Then, don't be. I'm not pleading you to be confident, anyway." I headed my way through the room, but then he block the door.

"You're not going inside." I knew that was a statement.

"So now you're trying to control me?" I asked with a modulate voice.

"No. I'm just trying to protect what's mine."

"You think, I'll destroy your room?" Its unbelievable. He was the criminal here. He was the bad guy, not me!

He turn his back against me without answering. What the heck? Didn't he even thought of proper manners? Oh great. I just forgot, he was the most elusive criminal in town!

He went inside his room then closes the door loudly.

Grr. He's starting to piss me off!

I was running for my life. I don't know where I was running away from, but what I know is, I'm escaping from my death.

I was merely running out of breath, and I'm nowhere places to go. I was about to give up when I saw someone on my way.

"Help me." I pleaded. I knew this is ridiculous, but I don't have a choice. I have to swallow this darn pride for me to sustain my life.

"I told you to avoid him, but you don't listen. Now your begging for your life?" he madly said. His voice was sharp and cold.

"Fine. I don't need your help, you pathetic policeman!" I shouted through my lungs as I watched him walk away.

After all the love we shared, this is what I'll got in the end?

"I hate you, Christian Manrique!!" my tears start pouring down my cheek.

The pain still feels the same when he let Stephen to get me. When he do nothing to save me from Vougner. When he throw away all the things we shared and chose his profession over me. Everything was the same. I'm standing alone, left dumbfounded. No more strength to run away from death, to more courage to fight for my life.

I hopelessly close my eyes, as I sign of giving up. As a sign of accepting the end of everything.

But I was distracted when someone from behind suddenly covered my mouth and pull me towards the dark woods.

"Who are you?" I nervously asked. I can't barely see his face, but I knew he was a guy. He was so strong.

"Don't dare make a sound." he mumbled.

Hearing his voice was enough for me to recognize him. But why did he pull me here? Is he trying to save me? From who are we running away from? And why is he helping me? Or did he?

"Stephen." I whispered.

"I told you to shut up." he repeated in a very low voice.
