HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

SAVE HER

𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑜

I descended my eyes to the little kid who kept tugging my pants. His eyes were smeared with tears and his eyes were swollen. My heart sank at the tears in his eyes. He crouched down and held my legs and begged me like I'm some superhero.

"Is Nino not going to come back?" He cried. "Will she be in there forever?" I smiled at the little boy and lowered myself to be on the same eye level as him. I wiped his face and stroked his hair.

*No, she won't. She will be back. Don't cry."

"I can't stay a day without Nino, save her, please? Bring her back." I sat on my butt and fondled his hair. How am I gonna do that? I thought. It's not like I'm some lawyer.....my mind was attacked by what she told me last night. 𝐻𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑥𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑚𝑒. I wonder why she's been charged with sexual assault. I was horrified when I saw it on the news, the video of what happened in that man's office.
