Held Captive [Completed]

24.

My thoughts are everywhere. My mother's voice kept ringing in my ears. Forgive him forgive him but I can't, I can't bring myself to forgive him not after everything I went through. I never thought I would make it this far, it's a miracle am still alive.

"he's regretting already can't you just forgive him"?

"what if he is lying?  What if he still wants to keep on his treatment? I just can't seem to forgive this man".

This is hard really. The man that has me kept for how long has it been? Now he wants forgiveness my forgiveness.

"holding unto the past will not make you move forward thinking of what he did to you will not make you forgive him. Just forgive him"

Okay am sure it won't hurt to forgive him, I mean he's already regretting it right? I just hope I am not making a mistake for doing this.

With still a sore shoulder I decided to see him and tell him I have forgiven him, so I gently make my way out of the room. Okay now where should I start from? I don't know anywhere located in this house. Maybe I should just go back and stay in there, when he comes I will tell him I have forgiven him.

I seriously hope am not making the wrong decision.

I was about going back into the room when I heard someone talking.

"Nathan dammit calm the fuvk down you gonna kill him".

I couldn't hear what anything else just grunts and yells. So I followed the voice until I came to a door which is slightly ajar. I couldn't make out the faces but I was able to see just one face his minion.

"Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin. What did I tell you about betrayal"?

"you--said y--".

"I am sorry I can't hear you speak up".

"you said you don't like people betraying your trust". This time he spoke a bit louder.

"that's right so when I told you not to touch my huntress what did you do? You fuvking had her kidnapped again sold her to some lame ass son of a bitch and that's not all you sold me out to my competitors and barged into my fuvking house and shot her".

"now this is what I call fuvking betrayal Benjamin". Wait. What?

Without wasting time he punch his minion and another and another one. Endlessly punches.

"you.. FUVKIKG touched her she's fuvking MINE" another punch.

I just stood there with my hands on my mouth I was beyond shocked. He didn't order him to take me again and sell me? Wait he's innocent on the part of me being sold. Okay am so confused.

"Nathan calm down will you, he has enough for today let him go".

"don't tell me calm down he took her, shot you, then shot her now you telling me to calm the fuvk down"? He roared he's definitely angry.

Then he took something that is shiny and pointed it to his minion. Oh my God it's a gun he's going to kill him, kill a human being oh my God this is so wrong. And so I didn't think twice when I barged into the room.

"please don't kill him, please" they all turned and look at me.

Okay I didn't think it through when I barged in here.

"please don't kill him" so I shouldn't have begged on the behalf of someone who sold me out yes? But I couldn't watch him die.

"huntress you shouldn't be here are you okay?  Are you sick again, does it hurt"? He came close inspecting my body. His eyes were soft but still there's some traits of anger in them.

"no, am okay I uhmm actually came to talk to you, am sorry I shouldn't have come".

"no, it's okay let's go" he guided me out of the place and back to my room.

When we got in the room he stood at the door while I sit at the edge of the bed. Then there's the silence.

"so uhmm about what you want to tell me"? I have never thought this man here will be lost of words. And I seriously hope I am not making a mistake forgiving him.

"okay. Uhmm, am sorry for going in like that, it's just felt like. Am sorry I went it".

"what I wanted telling you is" I heaved a sigh before speaking again. "I have forgiven you for all you have done to me.".

He was quiet, I began to wonder if I really made a mistake forgiving him.

"thank you huntress, thank you so much. Thank you thank you thank you" he came forward and took me in his arms. Of course I tensed up my body isn't still familiar with this gentle touch.

"thank you so much, I promise to make it all right. Am sorry am terribly sorry for everything I did" he applied pressure but not too much.

"thank you huntress. Thank you" he let go me stare at me before finally leaving.

Okay I did not expect that to go well. And this is our first healthy conversation.

It's feels so good to forgive him.

And I feel refreshed not just in my body including my soul.

Mom you are right, it is definitely good to forgive.
