“Go on. Carry out your threat.” she insisted.
Deep within her, she was quivering.
He inhaled deeply. “Are you alone?”
She smiled. “Yeah.”
Quickly, he lowered the gun, dipped it at the
back of his trousers, probably at the waist. He
reached out for her hand and started
dragging her.
She hit his hand hard.
He immediately stopped and looked
thunderously at her. “What is the meaning of
what you just did?”
She returned his glare with cold eyes. “Let me
go!” She almost screamed.
He tightened his hold on her, flung her to
his side and placed his left palm over her
mouth. “You realize we are in front of
someone’s house?” he rhetorically asked in a
harsh tone. “Don’t forget I have a deadly
weapon here and will be forced to use it if I
want to.” He warned her.
She fought within his grip. Trying to prove
stubborn.
He released her mouth.
She gasped. “Who are you? Let me go!”
Ernest only chuckled. He buried his left hand
at the back of his trousers and pulled
something out. He placed the object on her
hips.
She stiffened feeling the gun on her.
“Ready to cooperate?”
Her head moved up and down.
He smiled wickedly. “That’s it girl. Move.”
Tricia obediently moved. She wasn’t ready to
die yet. Her legs moved till she was at his
car.
“Get in!” he commanded.
“What?” She asked.
“Don’t let me use this on you!” his eyes were
filled with fury.
She’d had enough. If he wants to shoot her,
he’d better do it. Who was he to order her
around? It angered her a lot. Was this how
Jeremy felt when she ordered him? This
wasn’t the time to think about him, he
dumped her. It was time to deal with this
intimidating man. “I am not going to do
that! I have my own car, in fact I drove it
down here. I will ride it back home. Not going
anywhere with you.” she protested fiercely.
His eyes darkened. “Don’t try my patience.”
He pointed the gun at her. “I’m going to
sho-”
“Shoot me already!” She yelled, cutting in.
“I’m tired of waiting for that. Do it!”
This was one tough woman. She had given him
the permission to kill her, what was he
waiting for? He silently laughed. He wasn’t
gonna kill her, he just used the pistol to
threaten her, get her do as he says. Too bad,
she wasn’t a lady one could control. She
bravely opened up her feelings. Direct
contrast of his Melisa. He smiled. “Alright,
dear. You got me. Please get in. I’m not
going to murder you. We’ll come for your car,
later.”

Purity sank into her bed. She let go of the
notepad. It fell to the ground. Why now?
Why? Not when she was beginning to feel
happy, love her parents more and to love a
non-member of her family. Things had began
to fall into place. She placed her hands on
her face and rolled.
Why did he have to come back? How did this
happen? He was surely going to disturb her
relationship with Jeremy. That night, he had
told her he’d never forget her. Wasn’t he
drunk? Oh my, God! I’m in trouble, she
mused. Darn it! Jeremy would definitely stop
trusting her. What if he finds out? She
didn’t think he would, besides he never knew
Jeremy. She’d deal with him her own way. No
one was going to find out.
This time, she was gonna do the right thing.
She wasn’t gonna make a fool out of herself.
She wasn’t gonna let her parents, Edwin nd
Jeremy down. She slowly closed her eyes.
