Episode 17

She contacted Aaron, the house owner and rented a  room for her. It was not even 1/8th of the room in Alen's or Robert's mansion but she felt more comfortable and happy. Now she has a  degree certificate and all she has to do is to find a job to earn her living.

She was walking on the roadside. Suddenly she saw a familiar figure appearing in front of her. It was Robert.

"How dare you runaway from my mansion after fooling me!", Robert shouted.

"Robert, listen to me! I want to live my life by myself. I don't want to stay in your mansion.", Gina was determined.

"Heh. Live by yourself? The moment you chose to fall in love with me, you should know your life belongs to me!", Robert's voice was sinister.

"So Your love for me was all a disguise just like my family?", Gina's voice was devoid of any emotions.

"Oh poor girl! You should know you don't have any family. Do you really think I, Robert, will fall for you? You must be dreaming!", Robert revealed a cunning look.

Gina acted like she doesn't care but every word he spits out made her body to tremble. Why Robert did it to her! She loved him with all her heart..

"Then, why should you want to possess me now? You must have already used me enough!", Gina's voice was sore.

"Nope! You still have some value left! And even if you have no value left, I would rather destroy the toy I played with than allowing others to have it!", Robert was determined.

"You think I'm your toy?"

"Ain't you?"

"Don't you know I value my self respect the most?"

"You still have the so-called self respect after being harassed by Alen every day!"

"...", Gina couldn't say a word. Yes, what self respect she has after these 2 years.

"Heh. Now you realised your value. Its better if you stay by my side and serve me.", Robert grabbed Gina's hands.

"let go!" Gina tried to push him away.

But he was so strong. Is she going to be took away by Robert and be tortured for the rest of her lives. No! She doesn't want to live that disgusting life anymore. She don't want to be bullied anymore. Please, God give me strength to push him away. Give me strength to face all these problems with courage. She prayed in pain.

"Let her go!", A familiar voice sounded from her behind. Soon, she could feel the cold aura. The chilness spread through her spine. It was Alen. Why is he here? Why is he helping her suddenly? Is he going to take her away? What is he going to do?

"Alen! don't meddle in my business.", Robert was frustrated to see Alen.

"I said let her go."

"What If I won't?"

"Then don't blame me!", Alen said in a cold voice and ordered the guards to catch Robert.

In a blink of an eye, Alen's guards caught Robert.

Robert ordered his guards to catch Gina.

"If any of you, dare to touch her, I will not only cripple you master Robert but also every single one here.", Alen's voice was as cold as an ice.

"Come with me", he grabbed Gina's hands and walked away.

His  hands were so cold and the way he held her was so gentle. If she  shrug her wrist, he will lose hold of her but she silently followed him. He asked her to sit inside the car. She came to her senses.

"You want to save me from Robert and imprison me by yourself? You and him are putting another act on display to fool me?", Gina asked in a calm voice

"This is Robert's place, if you stay here for another few minutes, you will be taken away by him. Argue with me after getting inside the car.", Alen said with a smile.

Gina realised what he said was true and got inside the car.

Gina stared at Alen who was unusually gentle. Why he didn't show this side of him to her all these days? What was his true side?

Alen looked into her eyes and gently put his fingers through her hair and he slowly rubbed his thumb on her cheeks. He slowly leaned closer to her.

Gina was completely lost in his gentleness and forgot to push him away.

Alen leaned further and was about to kiss her.

Shit! What  am I doing? Why am I so impulsive? I just lose myself when I look at her eyes! What is different with me now and then if I kiss her now! She will be disgusted.

Alen suddenly retracted his gaze from her and rubbed a dust (which was not there) on the glass and backed away and shouted at the driver

"What do I pay you for? Why Is there a lot of dust in the car?", Alen was shy.

Driver who understood what was going on had nothing to say.

Gina finally returned to her senses. She felt so confused, Alen was about to kiss her and she didn't even push him away. But, he restrained himself from kissing her?  What is going on?

"Alen, why are you suddenly so good to me?", Gina couldn't help but ask.

Alen looked at her and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say I am very good at acting?"

"I don't know which is acting and what is truth anymore!", Gina's voice was devoid of emotions. She really couldn't tell truth from lie
