บท 7: Chapter 7
Isabella POV:
Hearing him ask me about it caused chills to run over my whole body.
I was so scared to the bones, I didn't know what to say.
He spoke up but I did not utter a word, instead, I stood there, lost in thoughts not knowing what to do.
I'm talking to you.
Will you give me an answer already girl before I lose it? Say something!
Nate's voice resonated loudly in the room bringing me out of my lost deep thoughts.
Hey you, you better speak up now I hear you say.
Uhm … I … I don't know.
I said out of confusion and frustration.
I haven't thought about it and I thought you gave me until the end of today before giving you my reply.
My boyfriend is a dangerous man and I'm sure his friends have told him about me and what they saw yesterday. I'm pretty sure he's on the lookout for the people who took me.
I don't want any trouble for you and your people and at the same time I fear that if I return to him, that might probably be the end of me. He might just beat me to death or he might not even go through the stress of laying his hands on me. He could just kill me instead with a flinch.
I said all this in a rush without stopping with fear in my heart as to what comes after.
I looked at Nate, and I then realised his eyes had been on me all along and his facial expression was completely blank.
I could not read any emotions on his face, completely emotionless.
After a few seconds of staring at each other p passed by. He then said something I could not believe my ears just heard.
I don't want you to live.
I want you to stay here, no, I want you to live here, live as though you belong here.
A girl like you shouldn't be treated badly, you shouldn't be treated like a slave.
Your boyfriend is an asshole and a piece of shit.
He doesn't deserve you at all, not even a tiny bit. I see no reason why you should go back to him.
I see no reason why you've been with him all this while though. You deserve so much more than he has given you or he can give you.
I blinked so much at his words, trying so hard to get my mind together.
Why would he say that to me?
He doesn't even know me from anywhere.
Nate's POV
As soon as I set my eyes on her the previous night, I had an uncertain feeling about her.
I was drawn to her in some way I could not lay my fingers on or explain.
I just had to bring her home.
Earlier this morning, I sent for one of my guys to do some background checks on Isabella and get me all the information they might find about her.
I wanted to know everything about her before I did anything. I also need to know if she's clean and she's not some kind of set-up from my opposers.
I went to look for her in the kitchen, I was told she was cleaning the room so I came up to my study to watch her via the CCTV camera.
I saw her working so diligently. I've never seen a sight so beautiful.
Who cleans and makes it look so nice, effortless and graceful?
I had this sting in my heart, a strong feeling overwhelmed me to be her protector.
Not long, my man came back with some documents containing all the information I needed to know about her.
I found out that she has lived a lowly life all her life.
I saw that Isabella was an orphan, her parents died in a car accident when she was young.
Her parent's family from both the mother's and father's sides were not willing to take her in.
The only family left for Isabella was her grandmother from her mother's side.
Isabella lived a rough and struggling childhood with little or no help from anyone.
Her grandmother passed away about three years ago leaving Isabella 19 years all alone.
She took on menial jobs to fend for herself and to take care of her little little needs.
Since there was no support from anyone, all she could do was try to be there for herself
One day she crossed paths with Mike at the bar where she works.
Mike showed so much interest in her,
He stayed caring for her and it did not take long for Isabella to fall for Mike. Mike told her to move in with him, which she did without any hesitation.
The relationship started nicely, until one fateful day when Mike came to where Isabella was working and he met her smiling and chatting with the customers there.
He got so furious that he could not hold back his anger.
He yelled at Isabella out there in her workplace and pulled her by her hair out of the bar.
Mike gave her a sound slap on her face, he started calling her several names.
He said she was a prostitute for talking to another man apart from him with a smiling face.
He pulled her back home and gave her the warning of her entire life.
He told her to stop working and always remain indoors.
He forbade her to have friends be they male or female. He made her cut off from people and since then she has lived a more sorrowful life.
Her two-year relationship she had with Mike was filled with fear as she couldn't do anything to please him.
He found fault in everything she did.
When I saw all this I just felt the need to be of help to her.
I came out but I did not see Isabella. I saw Christabel coming, so I asked her about Isabella.
I told Christabel to let her know I wanted to see her.
Now that Isabella is here, I feel a strong urge to make her mine to have her all for myself.
I want to do everything for her, I want to protect her with everything I have.
This feeling and strange urge to want to do all this for Isabella is making me worried.
I can't seem to understand why I'm feeling like this and I don't know what to do about it.
I stared at her at I could tell that she was confused because I told her not to live.
Even beyond that, I could feel some strong growing tension between us.
