Merciless ( SAMPLE)

5

The smile on my lips disappeared as soon as he said these words. For the first few seconds, I was stunned by his words, then my nose scrunched in disgust as I mentality grim at the actual meaning behind his words. It must be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Hatred boils inside of me. I really thought Professor Smith was different. Didn't you think in a million years that these words would come out of Mr. Smith's mouth. I actually thought he actually wanted to help me, but in reality he was trying to take advantage of my vulnerability for his own personal gain. It was completely unexpected and borderline inappropriate.

This is why I have trust issues, especially with male species. Every man in my life has either backstabbed me or disappointed me. No wonder I never had a boyfriend. Yes, I have been attracted to a few and some of them have shown me some interest too, but every time my trust issues overpower the little attraction I have towards them disappears and I back away. I knew I had built a high wall around me without even meaning it.

I don't know what gave him that impression. I would never agree to such a thing. Anyways, too bad for him. I wasn't desperate. Why will I compromise with my dignity when I can achieve it on my own?

Disguising my true feelings, I faked a smile. His lips tugged in a smile as well. Maybe he thought I was giving in to his absurdity.

"I'm okay sir,"

Now it was his smile that dropped and a gloomy expression took over.

"Why?" I blurted out as if he wouldn't believe I rejected him.

"Just not interested," I proudly uttered and rose gracefully from the chair.

I wasted no time. I exist his office shutting down any chance of further conversation. I let out a relieved sigh as soon as I exited the room. I know I might regret this later, but for now I don't want to think about it. With that thought, I walked to my next class.

***********************************************

The last two periods elapsed before I knew it. Packing my luggage, I walked out of the room and then off the building. As soon as I left the building, I glimpsed a figure who stood leaning on the sleek red car behind him and typing on his phone.

My eyes widened in a mixture of surprise and recognition as I moved nearer. I even blinked a couple of times, unsure if I was seeing correctly and, as expected, the figure was still before me. What is he doing here? Every cell in my body was on high alert. I cannot blame my body for this behavior because it is the only reason for my suffering.

This day was progressively getting worse and worse. First Mr. Smith and now Leo. I have no clue why he was here, especially in the absence of Sofia. Part of me is wondering if Sofa's sudden disappearance is the reason for his coming here. Discarding the myriad questions arising in my mind, I came up with an answer that it was none of my business.

I decided to act oblivious to his presence and move on to the path that leads to my home. I barely took ten steps when my path was blocked by a body mount. As soon as I realized who it was, a gasp broke out.

How did he get here so quickly?

"Hi," I greeted, trying to be casual, but ended up chuckling awkwardly.

Instead of greeting back, he threw draggers in my direction with his expanded iris. Fear crept up my stomach.

"I didn't see you," I told outright lies with no remorse before he could say anything.

He smiled grimly. Obviously, he knew I was lying. I knew he could read me like an open book. He inched a step towards me, reducing the little distance that separated us.

By diverting my gaze I wander my eyes, refusing to meet his gaze, refusing to meet his gaze. The proximity between us was unnerving and let us not even go to his fragrance, which completely absorbed me, depriving me of the opportunity to think rationally.

Dipping his head into my neck, he ran his lips over the lobes of my ears. My skin crawled from his action, but I still did not dare to look in his direction.

"Next time, make sure you see me, or I'll have to gouge your eyes out." His threatening tone made me look directly at him.

My heart leaped a beat and goosebumps broke out in my skin, but not very pleasant.

"Please let me go. Why are you doing this? You can have anyone you want," My eyes pleading with him as I attempted to reason with him.

"Get in the car," he said in a commanding voice, avoiding my words.

"What?" I let out even though I very well understood him.

He rubbed his forefinger and middle finger on his temple. His eyes were closed. I just stood in fear and uncertainty, anticipating his next move. In a flash, his eyes uncovered. My eyes magnified, seeing so much rage in his eyes.

"I. Said. Get. In. The. Car. Woman," he roared, emphasizing each word.

His booming, flourishing voice aroused the curiosity of passers-by who stopped to look at the whiskey. Soon a crowd gathered around us. For a second, I wanted to call for help, but something told me that this would bring me nothing but affliction. For my own good, I decided to remain silent.

My attention was drawn back when Leo grasped my wrist, not in a polite manner I might add. In fact, he was cutting off my blood circulation.

"Please, Leo, you are hurting me," I cried out.

My plea was deaf to his ears as he began to forcefully haul me to where his car was parked.

"Leo-o please," I begged as the pain became unbearable with each passing time.

He stopped abruptly, causing me to slam into his back. The impact caused me to stumble, nearly tripping in the process. If it wasn't for Leo's steely grip on my wrists, I would have fallen prone.

"One more word and you'll regret it," His eyes blazing with fury as he growl those venomous words to me.

Why is he so angry?

Anyways, I lowered my head in submission and nodded, not wanting to check the man's veil. Then he started dragging me again until we were in front of his car. He pulled the door to the passenger seat and threw me in, so that my elbow hit the dashboard. I wince as a painful electrical jolt travels down my arm.

Anger flared up in me. I wanted nothing more than to smack him right in his face for his inhumane behavior towards me, but instantly dismissed the thought, precisely recalling what happened the last time I tried to slap him. I definitely don't want to repeat myself. He nearly crushed my wrist.

The sound of the door slamming broke me out of my reviver. I twisted myself in the seat to find a comfortable spot before buckling up. Leo, on the other hand, didn't bother about seat belts. He inserted the key into the ignition, pulled the gear and twisted the ignition key. The rattling of the engine numbed my ear before the car pulled smoothly onto the road.

I had no slightest idea where he was taking me. I wanted to ask him where we were going but I was afraid he would lash out again. My anxiety is growing every minute and every time. I have no idea what his true intentions are, but I strongly have a bad feeling about this. The anticipation was making me anxious.

The fact he hadn't uttered a word since we entered the car wasn't helping. To add to my trauma, even on the desolate road, the car was moving at breakneck speed, and I was afraid we'd get into an accident. My hands in my lap are balling and un-balling, trying to have control over the growing anxiety inside of me.

Approximately fifteen to twenty minutes into the ride. I got a glimpse of something or rather someone. Mr. Smith was crossing the road laughing at whoever he was talking to on the phone. The event from noon stimulated my awareness. I couldn't help the hideous shiver that ran through me.

The car suddenly stopped.
