Chapter 47

Jasmine


"Let us go, don't mind Romano and don't think too much about him." Ciara said to me as she pulled my hand away.

I could feel the tears streaming down my face and I wiped off. This is not the time for me to cry but I couldn't stop myself from crying when I saw him again. I thought he was going to ask me to come back to him again but I was just hoping for nothing. My and I went back to the resort, we were silent throughout the ride because they were worried about what happened earlier. They wanted to give me space to think and figure out what I needed. I just want peace and the courage to forget him. I have never thought that I will see him again. I still love him no matter what. I can't forget him or the love I have for him. He is still the man I love and that will never change.

We arrived at the resort in twenty minutes and I went back to complete the work I left earlier. At seven o'clock in the evening, my friends and I got dressed. I wore a red skinny gown for tonight's party.

"You look so stunning, Jasmine. We are convinced that men will be drooling with you tonight." Khloe said and I just shook my head.

"Stop teasing me, guys. We should start heading out because the party will start any moment from now." I said and they all laughed.

We stepped out of the room and walked towards the hall where the party will take place. I could feel my heart pounding as we were getting closer to the venue. So many guests were inside the hall enjoying themselves and watching the live band. The party aims to give fun to the customer and I could say that it would also help me ease some tension and forget about what happened earlier.

"This party is so cool!" Nina shouted as she pulled me to the dance floor. I chuckled as we started dancing together with other friends. Men surrounded the floor as we were dancing and one of them even touched my butt that made my blood boil.

"What was that for!" I yelled at him but he just smirked.

"Don't you like it, baby?" He asked and pulled me closer to him. I tried to free myself but he was holding me so tight.

"Let me go." I said in my calm tone but he didn't listen.

"Let's leave the dance floor and check into one of the rooms. I swear you are going to enjoy my presence." He whispered into my ear and I was about to scream when he covered my mouth with his hand.

"Scream or I will kill you." He threatened me and my eyes widened. He pointed a knife at me. I was scared to death.

"Please don't hurt me." I begged him.

"Come with me if you still love your life." He said and I looked around hoping that someone might notice what was happening but everyone was busy enjoying the party, even my friends. To save myself, I had no other choice than to follow him.

He wrapped his hand around my waist and the knife was still pointing at me. I could feel my heartbeat increase as I followed him wherever he took me. My life is in great danger again and I don't know if I will be rescued by someone. No one will save me and I am scared that this would be the end of my life. The moment we entered the room, he pushed me to the bed and locked the door. Tears started to fall down my face when he removed his shirt as he was grinning at me.

"Do you have anything to say before I have sex with you?" He asked and I sob more.

"Please, spare my life." I pleaded and cursed myself for being weak like this. It is only me that can save myself in this situation now and crying and pleading isn't going to work.

"Don't worry because after I have gotten what I wanted, I will spare your life." He said as he jumped on top of me.

This will be my end and I know that no one would come to my rescue. I am a hopeless person and no one is going to save me from this monster. He started to tear my dress and throw them away. I hugged my body when my nakedness was revealed to him. Only my brassiere and pants were left. Tears streamed down my face when he smirked at me.

"Please, I am begging you, don't do this to me." I begged him with the hope that he could change his mind and spare me.

"No one will help you, baby. I am going to have you by hook or crook." He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled it above my head, I was trying my best to flounder but his grip was tight. He started kissing me on the neck and was about to kiss me on the lips but I averted my face from him. He got furious and punched me in the stomach.

"You are so annoying!" He said as he strangled me on the neck. I could feel the pain on my stomach and my head started spinning because of it.

My sight started to blur as the man still continued strangling my neck. I grabbed his hand and tried my best to remove it but he was using all his power and I wasn't able to remove his hand from my neck. This will be the end of my life. I will die in the hands of this man because no one would come to my rescue. Then suddenly, the door slammed open and revealed a familiar figure of a man, my hopes were alive again. Tears were still streaming down my face when I saw him standing in front of the door with his dark aura.

"Who the hell are you?" The man asked as he released my neck and faced Romano. Yes, it is Romano and I am happy that he came to save me

"You want to know me? Don't you recognize me, dumbass?" Romano asked and his voice echoed in the room. He grabbed the man and slammed to the wall and strangled his neck.

"I…c.. can't breathe." He said but Romano still tight his grip on his neck and his claws go sharp. Everything is just so quick like I couldn't imagine it. He tore the man's heart away from his body but I didn't feel disgust for what he did and I don't know why. I felt like the man deserved to die. He is evil because he wanted to rape me.

Blood was flowing from Romano's hand as he turned to me, his eyes blazing in so much anger. His ambience is so dark like he wanted to kill more. I hugged myself as tears still streamed down my face.

"You should be grateful that I came to rescue you. Please act normal next time so that men will never disrespect you." He said and his voice sounded so cold. I wanted to sob more but I stopped myself from crying.

He is still the same as before. He didn't even hug me, he was just staring at me. His comfort is what I need now. I wanted to hug him but I was waiting for him to approach me first. I can't get up from the bed wearing only my brassiere and pants.

"Thank you for saving me." I said but he seemed not to care.

"You are such a headache to me, Jasmine. You have always made me worry sick about you and if I didn't come here, I am sure that this man wouldn't leave you not until he got what he wanted." He said to me.

"I am really sorry if I gave you a headache. Is it my fault that the man wanted to hurt me? I did nothing to him" I said and my voice cracked because of pain. I thought he was worried about me knowing what happened but he is not. He is blaming me instead. I never did anything that warranted this man to disrespect me.

"Now, stop defending yourself because I know you. You did something that attracted this man to you. You tamed him, didn't you?" He asked and his words were like a dagger that stabbed my heart. He is causing me more pain with his words, yes he saved me but he is also torturing me.

"How dare you say those words to me, Romano? My life was in danger and you are blaming me for what happened. I wish you didn't save me if you are going to put the blame on me." My tone was raised because of anguish. I covered my face with my hand and sobbed in pain. He was still standing in front of me the next thing he did shocked me.

"I am sorry, Jasmine. I am such a jerk it is not my intention to blame you but I was worried about you." He said and he embraced me.
