Chapter 23

“Authorities wonder who could have the Hizara Clan went against with for this murder to occur..” I stare at the newscaster on the TV.

Just where are you?

–

“Ma’am! Why don’t we go shopping!” 

I thought about it, “okay, Jen.” 

Five months. I think he finally got bored of me so he also managed to just kill the Clan at the same time for me to be safe.

The more months passed, the more I think he has a conscience. 

Me and Jen drove to the mall he and I used to go..

Ugh, it’s weird getting sentimental to a killer even after all that has happened.

I can’t lie, with his presence gone, it has affected me somehow.. there were nights were I think he’ll appear out of thin air-

“Ma’am, you almost hit a poster! Are you sure you want to go shopping? We can just-”

“No, sorry, I was just thinking Jen haha.” 

–

“Can I be honest with you ma’am?” 

“Oh, sure Jen.” 

“When he disappeared, I felt like the house was vulnerable.. I know he’s a.. but it felt safer with him, don’t you think so, ma’am?” she whispered while we looked for clothes.

I sighed, “me too, Jen. But we have to remember who he is.” Jen gave a sad nod.

–

Seven months have passed and the new building expansion for my aunt’s hotel is finally finished.

I cut the ribbon and everyone cheered. I shaked hands with the architects and we all proceeded to go inside to celebrate.

I let everyone in first while I backed away to look at how tall this building is.

I walked to finally get in and join them when I had the urge to look past my shoulder.

Hmm. I then shrugged it off when no one was there and went in.

–

I talked with the employees while we ate and drank wine. 

I got tipsy and it’s already late in the evening. I asked my guard that we should already go home. 

I’m sure this time of night, Jen already went to her home.

I sighed slumping to my seat. It was a fun day.

– 

“Ma’am, we’re here.” 

“Hmm?? Oh.. thank you.” I sleepily went inside the house and straight away slept without changing or removing anything.

I woke up seeing that I had a pillow on my head, my heels were taken off and that my hair was untied.

“Huh??” 

The door got knocked then Jen came in.

“Good morning ma’am, I made you breakfast!, oh uh, what is it ma’am?” 

She saw my puzzled look. 

“I swore that I slept wearing my heels.” 

“Oh! I took it off ma’am, sorry, was I supposed to let it stay on you?”

“Oh.. no.. thanks Jen..”

“Were you.. expecting someone else, ma’am?” 

I chuckled, “No Jen, I was just shocked.” 

“Haha, okay ma’am, I’ll just leave your food here.” 

“Thanks Jen.” 

She left and I stared at the food. I sighed.

–

I grunt on my pillow as I bury my face onto it. 

I-AM-HORNY.

This bitch got nothing to do for the whole day and it’s now ten thirty-four in the evening with just sex rattling my mind.

I can’t afford to fuck anyone nor bring them here. I got too traumatized with what happened last time even if the fucker is not here anymore.

My mind flew to him.. Could he be dead? 

Argh, forget about him! 

I laid down and slid my hand in my underwear.

I shut my eyes to focus..

“Couldn’t wait for me, cupcake?” 

My eyes opened like lightning.

I slowly moved my head to the side and he’s standing near the window with a full on black mask.

I sat up, scared that maybe it's a ghost of him.

He removed the mask and threw it to my face and I gasped that it’s really him.

I quickly stood up while the sound of velcro ripping as he removed these black gloves is all I hear.

“Thought I was dead?” He chuckles. 

Then my mind flipped a switch. I took a pillow and threw it at him.

“You fucker! You left and came back like it’s nothing!!” 

I threw the remote, my slipper, my charger and even my bra that I removed moments ago.

He kept dodging them as he came closer to me.

“Hey, breathe cupcake.” He chuckles, holding my arms.

I breathe heavily through my nose. I have mixed emotions right now.

But one thing is that I’m relieved to see this killer breathing.

He lifted my chin while he had that amused look on me.

“You missed me, didn’t you?” 

I moved my face away, “in your dreams.” I muttered under my breath.

“Well I missed you.” He held my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I could roll my eyes with what he said but I just looked at him.

“Why did you do it?” I had to ask right away.

“I wouldn’t let them scare you just like that. I can’t let it pass.” His eyes and thumb grazed my bottom lip.

“But why this long..” 

He smiled, “I had to go away to draw them away from you. I could’ve gone back that night but I could easily risk you of something you didn’t do.” 

“But what you just did, is asking for more trouble.” 

He shaked his head, “no more of those. I made sure of that.” 

He held my face and kissed me.

I held his shirt while I kissed him back and I felt a smile form on his. 

“Let me shower before we sleep.” He said, smiling.

I nodded my head and backed away.

He went to the bathroom while I picked up the things thrown on the floor..

I gasped catching myself smiling on my own.

–

He came out of the bathroom while I’m sitting. I turned my phone off and placed it on the nightstand.
