54 AT THE BRINK OF DEATH

"No wonder he likes you so much. Your skin is flawless and soft. It's like a solid milk. I like running my finger on it." While speaking the man touched her ankle, her legs, her thigh and her stomach. He was half naked with just his trousers on.

Jillyanna struggled to break free from the knots which was tied around her hands but it was fruitless. Tears started forming in her eyes, blurring her vision.

"Please let me go. I have a baby. Don't do this to me please." she didn't bother with her pride anymore. If begging would help her, she'd do it.

"I'm sorry." He kept his hands aways from her and untied the cloth which he used to tie her hands.

He held her hands firmly before kissing her wrist. Jillyanna's eyes widened with fear. The person in front of her looks even more scary. Lust and joy were flashing across her eyes while staring at her face.

He licked her wrist before kissing her fingers one by one. "Did you really think I would free you? I'm not the type of person who would waste his food."

Jillyanna yanked down her hand and threw a punch on his face. He didn't expect it at all so he was thrown on the side while covering her swollen face.

She tried freeing her other hand as fast as she could. She jumped out of the bed and ran to the door.

"Gotcha!" He was hugging her waist and dragging her back to the bed.

"Help! Help me! Please help me! Please help me! Help!" she shouted as loud as she could while thrashing under him.

He groaned in pain when she kicked his thigh but he didn't listen the force he used to hold her down.

'Baby please stay with me! I will get us out of here! Please be strong inside me.' she didn't know if it was useful or what. It's the only way she could think of to communicate with her child.

Left with no choice, Jillyanna raised her head and bit his shoulder.

"Aaaaarrggghhh!" His shout was loud and blood started dripping off on his shoulder. Jillyanna tasted his blood so she spat it out.

'SLAP!' it was so strong that her ear was ringing from pain. She felt dizzy for a moment but she fought for her life after a few seconds.

She punched his face, his neck and his chest but he remained straddling her. His legs were on both sides of her thighs, locking her from escaping.

'Pak!' he gave her another slap. "Stop struggling. Be still."

'Why did this happen to me? All I wanted is to have my own child and leave. Why?' She shouted internally. Tears fell on the bedsheet. Her heart was broken and she was afraid.

She was ready to accept her death when the door was slung open. The man in front of her wasn't even given the chance to turn his head when a bullet hit him on his head.

Blood. Blood were all over her face as she watched the man slowly falling on the side of the bed.

Jillyanna was happy and shock. She was finally saved!

She raised her head to see her savior but she was disappointed.

"Won't you thank me?"

"Isn't it your fault that this happen? You left your man to keep watch on me. Didn't you know he's a pervert." Jillyanna was back to normal. It's not that she wasn't afraid of this person who abducted her, but she knew he wouldn't be able to hurt her.

"I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to give him the key." He walked inside and stepped on the body like it wasn't there at all.

"I'm glad you know it's wrong. When will you leave the country? I have my flight booked already but you came and kidnapped me." she was rolling her eyes at him before sitting up straight to calm herself.

"Go and take a bath while I bury this man."

"Okay."

Their conversation wasn't like a normal victim or suspect at all. Jillyanna went inside the bathroom after getting a change of clothes.

The man went out while dragging the dead person behind. He dug a hole at the back of the cabin and bury him without an ounce of pity.

After half an hour, he came back with foods and drinks for her. That's when Jillyanna realized that she slept the whole day inside the cabin.

"Have some food and drink your vitamins."

"Thank you."

She grabbed her spoon and fork to start eating. She was really hungry from all the events that's happening to her. Her exhaustion wasn't just about her physical well-being but also her mentality and emotional well-being.

"Why did you get pregnant with someone else?" There wasn't judgement in his eyes but pain and sadness were evident and clear. "I waited for you. I endured so much for you."

Jillyanna stopped from eating and put down her utensils. She looked at him in the eyes like she was staring directly to his soul.

"Who are you looking at right now?" she didn't evade her eyes while looking at his brown ones.

"What are you talking about Elizabeth. Of course I'm looking at you." His voice were joyful and he looked really happy while watching her eat.

"Do I really look like her?"

"You are her!"

"Stop hurting yourself. You should let go of the past. Don't be like me. Don't imprison yourself." Jillyanna stated before reaching out the glass of milk to drink.

It was delicious and soothing to her throat which was now hoarse from shouting.

"Is this how it would end?" He spoke with so much pain. He looked at the ceiling to stop the tears from falling.

"Hey Enzo, why is this happening to us?"

Lorenzo was stunned to hear his name coming from her. He was caught off guard with such event. Never in his wildest dream did he imagine to hear someone utter his name with pain and longing.

"Don't say my name. I don't want to hear it from you." His tears fell and he sobbed in front of her. 'What's pride? What's love? What's pain? What's all these things I am feeling? What are the things I care? Why did this happen?'

His sobbing made Jillyanna cried as well. She could totally understand how he's feeling because she had seen her mother cried many times in the past while calling out his name.

He was rather pitiful in his state. His sobbing was heartbreaking to hear. She couldn't help but reach out to pat his back.
