Chapter 2

Jennie Wilson POV

Stripping my clothes, I assessed my reflection in the mirror. There were multiple bruises and grip marks on my jaw and neck.

My hands automatically went there and recalled the incident happened last night. A sob left my mouth when I ran my fingers along the marks.

Who is he!? Why is he calling me Eva? Accusing me of cheating him? What does he want!?

He was a mysterious to me. Never ever in my life I had experienced like that. I was almost invisible to the world, living a boring life and I was not popular in school and I was mainly categorised as a nerd.

Well I couldn't afford to have fun like others because of my family situation. I aimed to study hard and get a decent job and live happily with my parents.

I pouted looking at the marks. I can't go out like this!

Mother will definitely question me! Lisa will kill me asking many questions only.

I wore a hoodie which covered my whole upper part of the body.

*Don't worry..... I won't hurt you sweetheart............

YOU ARE MINE! AND I WILL HAVE YOU SOON.......*

It was continuously ringing in my head.

Is he gonna come back!??

I was still afraid to go to the café, his memory haunting me completely. He wasn't that old, he looked like he was few years older than me, mostly like a college boy.

Why was he accusing me many things which I haven't done at all. He looked so much in pain he had been continuously crying and been completely tortured.

My fingers gripped the wooden table, my nails digging into the unyielding surface, still appalled by the situation.

" Excuse me I want to order a cappuccino." Someone interrupted me, making me come out of my pool of thoughts.

" Sorry, it will be ready in a minute sir." I excused and went inside. What has happened to me, I couldn't concentrate on my work since that incident.

Soon it became dark, I cautiously scanned the café if someone was present or not. My heart was hammering against my chest unknowingly. Was I expecting someone?

I started cleaning the table, still unable to calm down my erratic breathing, as the feelings of new-found misery, confusion and dejection veiled my being.

I was about to go to the counter but someone caught my upper arm in a steely grip and I yelped in fear.

" Hey Jennie! It's me Lisa. Why did you chicken out" Lisa said in between her laugh.

" Don't scare me like that!" I scoffed breathing heavily, prying my arms off her hold.

Lisa laughed again at me. She snaked her arm around my neck and squeezed me. " I heard we will get results of the entrance exam in 2-3 days it seems. I am so nervous. I don't know what will happen to us!"

What Hunsberg university results will be uploaded in 2-3 days!!?

Hunsberg university was my dream university, I had been studying for it since 10th grade.

I desperately wanted to join that university at any cost, because my family future depended on it. I wanted to give my parents all comforts to them. Since Hunsberg university was one of the world's top university, graduating from it has much scope on career.

I and Lisa finished our works and I waved Lisa goodbye, because her house was in opposite street.

Oh shit! I forgot to buy rat poison which mom had mentioned me.

There was as usual rats problem in our colony. We lived in cheap apartment because that what we could afford.

I walked opposite of my house direction in order to buy the rat poison. The store was little far from my house, I should have bought it when I was leaving café, but I was too absent minded now these days.

I went to buy rat poison, but people were less around the street, maybe because it was already late. I quickly bought and I started walking off increasing my pace, because my only motive was to reach home safely.

I felt some footsteps coming towards me and my heart started thumping madly against my chest. I was never afraid to walk alone in night but now after that incident I was hell scared.

I turned back to look but there was no one and turned ahead to walk but I suddenly dashed into someone and I felt like I hit a hard wall or a rock. I looked up and my cheeks burned, and I swallowed hard, my skin pricking all over.

The guy had worn a black mask and black cap, in fact everything he wore was black. Black sweat shirt, black jeans and black shoes, black gloves all black black, but it looked all too expensive.

The next moment my eyes were drawn to that person's eyes and my heart dropped when I met his intense stair. A dull, throbbing pain spread through my chest as we looked at each other. I couldn't see his face clearly since he wore mask and the cap almost hiding him, but I could tell he was staring at me.

" So.. sorry...I..I..was not seeing, my bad.." I shuttered burning under his scrutiny. Was he mad at me, because I dashed him? He stared me intensely like I was some alien species.

Since he was not reacting or budging away from here I decided to leave least interested in him, because he looked somewhat scary and most important thing he was a stranger.

I shifted awkwardly deciding to move but he blocked my way. His move took me by surprise paralyzing me and all I could do was return his deadly gaze.

" Excuse me!! You are blocking my way, please move." I said trying to keep my voice straight but my voice betrayed me as it came out almost squeaky and trembling.

He studied my face in long seconds that ticked by, his heart thumping madly against my chest, and I could hardly breathe.

His gaze was now fixed to one spot in front of him, his eyes having that faraway look that made it seem like he wasn't here, lost somewhere.

" Ex... excuse me....you...you... are blocking...my..my way sir....I need..to..to go." I shuttered almost feeling like crying.

He tilted his head to side like a psychopath, rattling me to the core in fear. It was like he was trying to access my words.

He continued watching me in a unnerving way, like he was trying to see all my deepest secrets. I flinched instantly when he grabbed my hand straightening my palm up.

Everything in me came into halt. My chest inflated with the warm and roughness of his and which was under my palm.

He placed something on my palm and released my hand completely. I looked at my hand and it was my bracelet.

Did my bracelet slip off???

I gaped at my bracelet in shock and I felt how wrong I was thinking he was some creep guy. Maybe this guy followed me to give this. Stupid me.

" Than—" my words hung up in air as the stranger started walking off abruptly in opposite direction of mine. He didn't even glance at me, walking straight away.

Weird......

Next day.....

I couldn't stop thinking about last night as I looked at the bracelet. He was a weird man, bit I never saw him in the street before, is he new here?

Then suddenly I heard Lisa shouting.

She was running towards me..to my room.

" Jennie..... Jennnnieeeeee"

"What happened Lisa!? Are you all right? Why do you look scared?" I spoke concern lacing my tone.

"The.....huff..puff.." she started coughing.

" What happened? Here have some water..." I gave her glass of water, she was panicking. I got tensed by seeing her.
