Chapter nine: The other side

In the broad morning, someone knocked loudly on the main door.y/n assumed it was her father and quickly ran down the stairs. but before her, It was someone else. the man was friend of her dad. she reconized him from the day before, when he helped her father. her steps slowed down as soon she reached the living room. that man had an evil smile lingering on his face.

"dad isnt home yet..." he pretended to have a big realisation, oh! that's sad, I though he'll be here.", he walked inside acting like it was his own house. "I can wait for him. I'm sure he'll come back soon."

y/n went down to the kitchen to see if there's something left to serve the guest. most cupboards were empty as always. while later, She faced him again with a cup of coffee in her hand. his fingers intentionally touched her hand while taking the it. she felt uncomfortable and quickly moved away. she could sense a bad intention from that man.

no sooner later, he stood up and walked around. which was only an excuse for him to approach the beauty. He grabbed her wrist tightly. "let go of me!!", she pushed to break his grip but he turned out to be more tough.

"I should've taken it seriously when your father described how beautiful his daughter is." He ran a finger on her face. "I respected you as an elder! how could you do this!" while she was giving her all to just break through his hold, his another hand grabbed her hair, "that useless father of yours, he took my money everyday with nothing in return!" his voice suddenly went calmer and an evil grin appeared on his face, "now I have something to have my payback."

y/n cried as his grip went tighter and he pins her against the wall. she wanted to scream and call for help but he already placed his hand over her mouth. with a sudden hit, she finally successed to break through. While he we was still clutching in pain, she quickly ran upstairs.

She ran in to her room and locked the door, staring at it cautiously while she backed off one step at a time. not long after he banged on it loudly. the sound was so loud that anyone could guess how furioud he was right now.

y/n covered her ears. the door wasnt strong enough. It could break anytime with the way he was hitting it. for a while, her whole mind went blank. her head began to spin. she looked for her phone but it wasnt anywhere she could spot easily. In the door's loud slamming, she found her phone and quickly pressed the contacts. without minding whom she was about to call, her fingers just pressed on a random number and It started ringing. "y/n?"

"Help...me..." the person on the phone could clearly hear the sound of loud banging on the door. The other side hung up. helplessly, she couldnt even tell if any help was in their way.

her heartache increased. she clutched her cloth tightly but it didnt help. Everything around her dissappeared. she could only make out her rapid heartbeats. her phone falls off as she collapsed. The bright ceiling of her room was the last thing she saw before his eyes slowly closed.

Middle of nowhere, she felt comfortable. after a long time fighting, her eyes opened.

Unsure of where she is, she quickly sits up back on the bed. "Im in a hospital....?" she looked around. A nurse approached her. "Feeling any better?"

"Why am I here?"

"You fainted from a panic attack.", she stated while doing the check up, "You're good to go now. "

"Who brough me here....?", y/n whispered to herself while she walked straight ahead. her thoughts switched and the scene before came back. What happened to that man? How did she end up there? not only that, that man's grip on her hair and the way he was hurted her, was all starting to flashback in her mind. Her head began to spin. her legs lost strength and she was about fall down any moment.

Just then someone shouted her name and quickly catched her from falling. she didnt faint then, only her eyes were blurry and dizziness covered her. she blinked multiple time before clearly seeing the person infront of her, "thomas?"
