A scream escaped my lips and my hands moved to my handbag. My fingers quickly grasped the pepper spray and turned back, I moved my hand up and sprayed it right at his face. As the spray hit his face, he stepped back and tried to cover his face.
“GO AWAY…” I yelled,
He tried to grab my hand, but I quickly moved back, “DIE! DIE! DIE!” I screamed, spraying right at the person’s face while closing my eyes tightly,
“Woman!… Stop!” I heard a familiar deep voice yelling at me, his tone harsh and daunting.
“Jesus! My eyes,” He groaned,
I glanced at him and saw the guy groaning in pain while turning away from me and covering his eyes, “God!’ He cried again while rubbing his eyes. My eyes moved to his clothes,
Why do these clothes and this body look familiar? I thought and I noticed my mobile phone in his hands.
Oh, fuck!
Was he trying to hand me my phone back?
Jesus Christ!
What have I done?
“You dropped this back there…” he handed my phone back while turning his face to me, rubbing his eyes and blinking rapidly to prevent the discomfort. Suddenly recognition hit me,
Him? It was the same guy I met earlier while running away from Liam.
That hot stranger! My eyes widened in shock and regret washed over me and I stepped forward to help,
“I’m so sorry…” I apologised while taking my phone back and quickly slipped it into my handbag,
“I’m extremely sorry…” I quickly pulled the water bottle out of my bag,
“Here… Take this,” Opening the cap of it, I handed it over to him. He took the bottle and began washing his face and groaning in pain. I stood there watching him, I felt great regret and guilt for making him suffer this way.
Why am I so stupid? I could have looked at the person before spraying it right at his face. I kept cursing myself for being so dumb and hurting the person who helped me earlier. I attempted to help him, but he stopped me by gesturing for me to stop.
“Boss,” I heard male voices coming from behind and footsteps as well, I turned back and saw three men, dressed in black suits jogging over to us.
“Boss, Are you okay?” One of them asked,
“Yeah,” Hot stranger replied,
He handed my now empty bottle back to me and turned to them, and one of those men handed him a handkerchief to clean. He took it and cleaned his eyes and face. I watched him while feeling extremely bad and guilty.
“I’m so sorry… I didn’t mea…” I apologised again but my words stuck in my throat as suddenly he turned his head to me at such a speed that I feared his neck could have broken, his blue orbs glared at me sending a chill down my spine. I stepped back in fear as I noticed the rage his now red eyes held.
I gulped hard in panic as he looked terrifying, never have I ever been subjected to such an intense and nerve-cracking glare. I felt like my whole body was drained of blood and my legs were rooted to the spot. His cold lethal glare reflected rage, his jaw clenched, his expression dark and intimidating. Finding his gaze unnerving I quickly lowered my gaze.
His glare is unbearable if only this ground could open up and swallow me whole; otherwise, I’m sure I will faint at any minute.
I glanced at him while lowering my head, “I-I’m So-Sorry,” I apologised while stepping back. Without saying a word, he turned back and strolled away from me. I peeped at him and noticed him marching to the car parked a few meters away from where I was standing. Those bodyguards were following him like pets as he swaggered towards his car without a care in the world.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
I released a breath I was holding and hit my head for my stupidity, “Stupid, Julia,”

By the time I walked into my apartment, it was too late and all the lights were off. I placed the bag on the couch and headed to Stella’s room. The room was quiet and I could see her sleeping soundly on her bed.
I pulled the blanket over her body, Dear Lord, please help her get through this! Please. I can’t see her like this, crying over him and destroying her life. She has to move on from him and focus on her life now, I have to help her get through this.
I placed a kiss on her forehead and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. As I stepped out of her room, My stomach growled for food. I made my way to the kitchen and began cooking my dinner.
As the aroma of food filled the kitchen, I heard footsteps coming from the living room. I glanced back and saw Stella walking to the dining table. I took two plates and served her hot Spaghettini Chicken. This was the exact copy I made from the restaurant I ate last time with soupy sauce, not so thick.
It looked yummy and smelled delicious.
I placed it in front of Stella and sat beside her. She took a deep inhale, and her eyes lit up, “This smells amazing, Juuls,” she said while picking up the fork. I watched her taste it and her expressions made it clear that she loved it.
“Ohhhh!” She moaned in delight as she chewed the dish,
“You have magic in your hands, Juuls,” She commented,
“Thank you,” I smiled and we began having dinner. I kept glancing at her throughout the dinner and took note of her refreshed mood. I felt happy and relieved seeing her enjoying the food. I hope she will continue to be this way.
Suddenly, the front door burst open, making us jump from the chairs. We glanced at each other in confusion and fear. I could hear footsteps in the living room and I gestured for Stella to come over to me, she nodded her head and strolled to me. We hid behind the dining table and peeped through it.
Someone broke into our apartment!
I stayed as calm as possible, but I was extremely scared inside and glanced at my bag which was laying on the couch. I need to get that bag and call the cops. My phone and also my pepper spray is inside it. I turned to Stella,
“Where is your phone?” I whispered,
“In my room,” She replied,
“Jesus!” I muttered and looked around for something. I need to get up to go to the kitchen and it will grab the attention of the intruder. My heart skipped a beat when I heard multiple footsteps coming towards us.
I anxiously scanned my surroundings for something which I could use. As I heard the footsteps just an inch away from us, I grabbed the fork from my plate mindful of not making any noise and swung it at the intruder.
My wrist was in the air and fork was about to hit him, but he grabbed my hand and stopped my hand in mid-air. The fork was just inches away from this huge guy’s neck. My breathing hitched in my throat as I noticed this guy glaring at me. His grip on my wrist was tight and was hurting me.
“Let go of me,” I yelled while trying to pull my hand off his hold, he ignored me and glanced at the guy standing beside him. I noticed they were four of these men, dressed in black suits and faces covered with masks. Only their eyes were visible to us.
That tall guy nodded his head and strolled towards Stella, my eyes moved to Stella, who was staring at the guy with fear and stepped back from him.
“Hey! Leave me, You bastard!” She yelled at him, but he ignored her yells and grabbed both her hands and injected her with something.
“Stella!” I kept calling her as she was losing consciousness, he bent down and threw her over his shoulders.
“Leave me!!” I yelled at the guy holding me, beating and kicking him, but he was taller and stronger than me which gave him an advantage. He easily took hold of me and injected me as well. I kept yelling and punching him until I lost consciousness.
