TRINITY
As I looked at Hunter’s face, I couldn’t stop laughing. When I suddenly walked into Bea’s store, it looked like he saw a ghost. Bea called me earlier to tell me to come here, so I did.
“What gave you a reason to be startled by that? Does that make you miss me any less, even my burning body? I’m sorry, but you’ve got in touch on that path since you’d rather spend time with Crystal than with me,” I said.
I went in the direction of Bea, but I walked behind Hunter while walking. After I had reached within a few steps of him, I quickly pretended to trip and fall so that my body would collide with his chest.
It seemed as though time slowed down as Hunter gently patted me to lift me and carry me in his arms. The two of us were looking at each other, and for some reason, my heart immediately burst into this feeling that I can’t explain.
“You should get a room, and please don’t create any moan in my shop while I’m struggling to work. Trinity is a model; you can afford to rent a room elsewhere. So, leave me alone, and get out of here!” Bea exclaimed to us.
I was the first to snap out of it and quickly get to my feet after almost falling out. I distanced myself from him by walking a few steps away and maintaining one meter between us. I was taken aback by what he did because I had not expected it.
“Bea, doesn’t it take much to put some control on your mouth? Not all models have money, like me. It’s just a short-term job, and I haven’t received my last salary yet,” I explained and gave her a sharp eye.
I fixed my dress and brushed my soft hair with my fingers. I also adjusted my poise before smiling at both of them.
“I’m sorry to bother you, but I must leave now. Bea, thank you so much for inviting me. I’m attending a big party because I’m one of their models. I don’t want to be late. See you again!” I explained to Bea before turning around.
I had a feeling that Hunter would call me, and I didn’t make a mistake. He suddenly called my name when I had taken only a few steps away from him.
“Trinity, please hold on a second. Just give some attention to what I have to say. Do you want to be able to hear the sound of my heart beating? I am not sure why, but the fear of losing you scares me with fear. Trinity, I guess I already love you,” he said emotionally, which made me stop.
Because of what I heard; I slowed my walking for a little while. When I thought about it, my heart was pounding so fast. Again, my heart had been beating so fast. I cursed at myself over and over again because of this.
“I know you’re mad at me because I haven’t listened to you before. But here I am again, standing before you, and I want to ask for your forgiveness. Please think about giving me a second chance,” he begged me to hear him out.
Even though it’s a frigid place, I’m still breaking a sweat. Even though my heart is beginning to melt, I am persistent in not looking back at him. I have to show him that he made a mistake by leaving me so he will never do it again.
“Trinity, I still have the desire to go on missions with you. Because you’ve been a part of my life, I’m not going to go and stick to you. Come back, please. I needed you.” The feeling was almost too much for him to handle this time, and he nearly broke down.
I couldn’t take it any longer, so I started to get out of the store. He didn’t look back at me when I called him, so that I wouldn’t look back now. I need to be strong. Trinity, you can’t look at him. Please!
I left the place and rushed to get into my car. There was nothing I could do to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. I closed the door immediately so I could release my frustration.
“It’s very frustrating! Trinity, you are showing your true colors with this. You are not strong enough to give in to his flattering words and promises. Shit! Don’t fall from his sadness. Fuck these tears! Why won’t they stop sliding down my face and landing on my cheeks?” I let out a loud yell and then smacked my knee.
My mind wanted to get out of it, but my heart wanted to look back and convince itself that everything was fine. But the pride in my mind was more dominated by what he did. It is not hard for me to forgive, but it is possible to ignore. I can still clearly recall when he said goodbye and went off with Crystal in my mind.
“I don’t like it! Fuck! This life is an absolute fucking nightmare! I couldn’t see him hurting because my heart seemed to be breaking. Hunter, I want you to know that I love you, but I don’t want to fool myself this time. I want to be capable of standing up to you so that you can learn a lesson. I can’t afford to give you a chance, then leave me again,” I exclaimed, and my tears were flowing very fast now.
Suddenly, I was conscious of someone or something hiding behind me, and I felt the coldness of metal against my neck. Because it has such a firm grip, I can feel its sharpness.
“If you want to live, you won’t make any noise. For you to continue living in this world, you must do exactly as I say. Do you understand?” He made a threat against me.
Because his voice contained a lot of scratches sounds, I assumed he was about the same age as Benedic. He was also used to handling a knife, which allowed him to stab me at any time and then kill me.
“I am not available to serve as a body warmer for you now. Get out of my car while I still have control over myself. Leave!” I told him, but I felt like he was simply grinning at me.
Even though I cannot see his face, I still feel him grinning at me. While tightly gripping his hand on the knife.
I’m not going to move, and I’m going to let him do whatever he wants. I’m still able to fight, but I’m exhausted. My heart and mind were so broken that I might be able to kill if he exceeded my presence.
“Trinity, you are not like anybody else. I don’t know where you get your courage, but you and I both know I can kill you. Don’t test me because I could easily slide this knife onto your neck anytime I do,” he firmly replied.
I was too busy wiping away the tears on my cheek to pay attention to what he was saying. Even though a knife was still hanging around my neck, I didn’t care about it anymore. He is going to take it away later.
“What the hell is going on? How exactly does one maintain their calmness in the face when another person attempts to take their life? I’m going to give you one more chance; this time, you need to take it seriously,” he exclaimed while threatening me.
He grabbed my hair with his left hand and then slapped me in a very aggressive way. My head was raised because of what he did, but I maintained calm throughout the experience. There is no reason for me to be nervous.
“Get over yourself, you cocky little slut! At this point, there is no one else who will defend you. Just obey my commands, and I will start releasing you from my control,” he continued.
I don’t have to ask what he wants because I know it. He is interested not only in my body but also in the money that I have been able to save over the past four months. That’s what he wants, so he’s in my car and trying to scare me.
“In your dreams! I’m not going to give in to your desires because I’m not a fool. Why don’t you just get a job that pays well and cut off that horn on your head? Stop threatening others to make them give what you want,” I exclaimed to him.
I can’t be calmer because of his attitude. I’m so upset about the harassment, so I’m going to teach this jackass who’s the boss. It looks like he’s willing to have a one-on-one battle with me, so why don’t we give it a shot?
“Be quiet! You have no power to make decisions for my life. We are both demons, and even if you try to get a job that pays quite well, the horn will remain on your head,” he shouted while grabbing my hair.
I sneakily reached around the side of my car and snatched the gun I had stolen earlier from Bea’s shop. It was too dark in the car to see what was in front of him. When he starts acting even more aggressively toward me, I will not even consider shooting him.
“Gerald, just do not let my rage swallow the entirety of my heart. I have no doubts about my power to kill. You need to be aware of your surroundings before you fight. It’s my car, and I have the advantage of killing you,” I reminded him.
I swiftly reached into the gun pocket and struck his hand with a knife before escaping. I punched the hand that he was using to hold my hair. After that, I got out of the car without wasting any time.
We are currently in a tiny village, and there are only a few other people on the road. This place is ideal for executing my plan. Gerald, you had better get ready.
“And where exactly do you plan to go? You are starting to annoy me, you slut, so stop it. One wrong move, I’m not going to think twice about firing my gun,” he threatened.
Before turning to face him, I only flashed a little smirk. I pulled the gun out of my pocket as quickly as possible since he was about to fire the weapon. But I wasn’t prepared for what happened after that because I heard three shots fired in real-time, and Gerald was lying face down on the ground within a few seconds.
“Trinity, did you get hurt? What kind of damage did this man bring on you? Wait, your eyes are red. Did you cry earlier? Fuck! He should just die,” the man worriedly asked me.
He ran in my direction very fast, and while hugging me, a worried expression filled his face. He had his arm around my shoulders and his hand on the back of my head. Because of the distance between us, I could feel the rapidity of his heartbeat.
“Forgive me if I haven’t been able to defend you. Forgive me if I’m always late whenever your life is in danger. Trinity, forgive me, please,” he told me with too much emotion.
After he hugged me, it took him a few minutes to loosen my arms. I don’t need him to worry and help because I can protect myself.
“Let’s stop it, Dylan. I want nothing to do with you. I have no intention of seeking protection from you. And I don’t love you. You are free to leave right now,” I exclaimed with a lot of coldness before getting into my car.
As I sat back down, tears began falling from my eyes. I don’t have the man who I’m hoping will defend me. He didn’t come. Again, he disappointed me.
