Desiree's POV
He pulled off to the side of the road where there were no houses, no people, and just the two of us.
"I was the one who killed them..." I heard him say that, and it makes my heart race, leaves me speechless, and causes my eyes to expand as I stare at him. As he looked at me, his face clouded. I try to exit the vehicle, but he stops me before my feet even touch the ground.
"And where are you going, sweety? Do you want to run away from me? After all I did to your life, this is what I got? Being ungrateful for saving your life?" He said, his voice is calm but I'm scared of him. I'm still not saying anything to him because I'm speechless.
"Tell me, what are you trying to say to me huh?"
"I am not being ungrateful." I said as I gulped, my voice was a little brittle but I managed to reply to him.
"Sorry about that," he scoffed, "but you can't run away from me any longer. You're bound to be mine."
"I am not your property..." I mumbled something that could make his eyes sharpen and pulled away from him, but he unbuckled his seatbelt, and I escaped. This guy is a monster, I can't believe it. After all, he killed three people, so I thought he was a decent man but He's a serial killer.
While he searches for me, I hide in the large tree praying that he won't find me.
When I turned around, he grabbed my wrist, and I tried to break away, but he managed to drag me closer to his body, and I could feel his angered feelings toward me.
"Are you terrified of me, Desiree?" says the narrator.
"I'm sorry..." I say as I gaze at him, his eyes brimming with rage.
I spoke in a hushed, almost whispered tone. "I wasn't trying to run away, I was just..." I took a breath and cleared my throat. "Y-yes… I am terrified of you. My mind is perplexed as to why you killed them, they have lives of their own, and I can't believe you could be a murderer!"
He laughed at me.
"If I don't kill them, you will not see me today standing in front of you…" He said. "You don't want to hear my explanation?"
"Then explain to me! Because I don't understand and I can't accept that killing them will solve everything!"
"Okay just calm down!" He barked at me, I sighed. Damn, this is the first time I saw him very irritated with the way I act.
"Okay, fine. I'm sorry for acting this way! But I have the right to freak out!" I said.
I gulped when he moved away from me and sighed, then my phone suddenly rang.
Its my mo who called me, I checked my watch and Its already too late to go to the hospital to visit my day, I feel like I am a bad child.
"Ohh…" I sobbed then I answered the call of my mom. "Mom I'm sorry…"
"You are late!" my mother said, clearing her throat before saying something harsh to me. What are you doing with your life, Desiree, if you never saw your father move his hand? My next-door neighbour informed me that you aren't working and are instead dating a man!" My mum remarked.
"Mom, I'm not dating anyone, could you please calm down?" I ask her to calm down and my phone suddenly beeps, Oh my god! I don't have a battery anymore. Then it suddenly shut.
"Oh my god, my mom would be thinking I hung up the phone!" I look at Alexander, he doesnt care at all and he goes back to the car without saying anything. I followed him. "Can you drive me to the hospital, please?" I said.
"I am not your driver, Desiree," he said.
"Then fine, I will ask Enrique to drive me there!"
He hissed, "Okay! I will drive you there!"
I smile at him when I hop in the car and he immediately drives with a speed, like it may be a kind of race. "What are you doing? You're supposed to drive slowly!" I said.
He rolled his eyes and sighed, "Shut up, Desiree. You are pisisng me off."
"Sorry, but I still want to hear your explanation." I said.
"I am not in the mood to explain to you anymore…I lost my interest." He said. I frowned and pouted, "If you want me to trust you again then you must tell me the truth! I am scared of someone who just kills three people and acts like nothing happened."
"Do you think I'm guilty for killing them? They deserve it!" he snapped at me. His face is serious and so much that my body trembles because of his gaze at me.
"O-okay." I said and nodded my head silently.
He return his eyes on the road, his lips pursed and his eyes is frowning, he is mad with me because I call him a murderer, he will not kill them if its not because of me.
"Maybe this is all my fault."
He glance at me again, "no, it's not your fault."
"If you kill them then you must go to jail…" I said then he suddenly look at me with his eyes not being happy at all, his mouth open and say something to me,
"Would it make you happy if I was in prison and people called me a criminal because I saved your life?" he said, he scoffed and rubbed his chin because I can't answer his question. Seeing him in jail because of me is very depressing. Of course, I would not like to imagine that. I will not be happy to see him there.
"I'm sorry if because of me you killed three people." I said, then I wiped my tears.
"Please don't feel bad; I enjoy saving people's lives." he said with a sarcastic tone.
