She didn’t want to die, she has suffered so much since her childhood, everything just to live a better life. And her mother was still in the hospital who needed care, she can’t just die like this. But right now… it was like she saw death right in front of her, and it was coming closer.
No!
Even though she was bending her body hard, but the dirt has already covered herself, she did not have the energy to shake it off, her head felt heavier with every passing minute, it was so dark, she couldn’t see anything at all.
Was she really going to die? But…
Jenny was missing her mom now, she wanted to go to her and be with her. She wanted to quarrel with James, she wanted to see Harold one last time. She wished someone would come now to rescue her, she was not able to hang in much longer, just breathing became harder every minute.
Maybe this was all supposed to be, she had a hard life, and now it was her turn to rest. Slowly Jenny closed her eyes.
Jenny heard some noise coming from above her, so loud that it woke her again. Who was that? Someone was screaming horribly, and there were more noises. Did someone come for her? Her wish to survive woke her completely, she was determined not to be buried now.
The handsome face of Harold appeared from above, he carried an aura of murder, his gloved hands held a gun, and shot the men like he knew what he was doing. His cold gaze looked at them. Harold looked around, searching for Jenny.
There was a weak voice coming from the hole in front of him. He knew that his woman was buried in there, his heart pained. Fuck! They dared to put my woman in such a cold and dark place, he was so furious that he swore to rip these people in pieces.
Jenny was still trying to get someone’s attention by making more noise, when Harold heard her soft voice, his heart was paining so much.
“Jenny, don’t be scared, stay where you are, I am coming to get you!” Harold’s voice was trembling from anger. The hole was too small, if he jumped in there, he would definitely step on her. He could not use any tools either to try and dig a bigger hole, what if he hit her with it? The only way to get Jenny out was to try and make the hole bigger by the side, and then into the deep, slowly making the hole bigger so he could reach Jenny.
When Jenny heard Harold’s voice, she felt as if in a dream. She did not dare to move, but she tried to breath as deep as she could. She was going to get out! She could see her mother again! Jenny could not stop herself from crying.
Meanwhile Harold was going as fast as he could digging that hole bigger, all he wanted to do was to get her out, so she could stop suffering. He felt horrible for Jenny being treated like this. He put all of his energy into trying to get her out, not let her get hurt even more.
It didn’t take much longer until the hole was big enough, he went down there, pushed back the mud on Jenny’s face, he looked at her pale face, and took her to bring her up again. Harold helped her get rid of the ties, from her wrist, her ankles, her body, even her neck, the ties left bloody marks. Seeing this made Harold’s heart burn.
Jenny watched Harold closely, she smelled the familiar scent on him, it almost made her forget about the pain she was enduring. It was not a dream. She was able to smile.
“Thank you Harold, you saved me.” Jenny said with a gulp.
Harold took her into his arms, he was so thankful to find her, he could not imagine what would have happened if not. He would have hated himself if he lost her.
“I am so sorry, I’m late, I will never let something like this happen again!” A person like Harold, wealthy, known, a personality people looked up to, was apologizing and promising to Jenny. When Jenny heard this, heard the panic in his voice, she could not keep herself from crying anymore. She never thought she could ever hear his voice again, feel his body temperature, his breath.
Harold’s panic, his crazy, his urgent need to find Jenny, he put all his feelings into a kiss that he planted on Jenny’s lips. Her lips were like ice, not even a little temperature in them. Harold’s lips on the contrary were hot, melting the cold in Jenny. His tongue was in her mouth as if searching for something, rapidly moving, so fast it took Jenny’s breath away. Then the kiss became more soft, as if he was trying to show the love, treating her like his treasure.
All the felt fear, pain, despair that Jenny felt a minute ago, was gone. Her emotions were like a roller-coaster, the suffer she has felt before, was being warmed by something.
After what felt like a century, the kiss ended. Harold let her go, the coldness in his eyes vanished, instead all he had was warmth and love.
Suddenly Jenny hugged him. Her sudden moves startled Harold, but then he hugged her back. So close, they could feel each others heartbeat.
“Thank you Harold.” Thank you for coming for me, for saving me. Jenny did not know what else to say except for thanking him over and over again.
“I don’t need you to thank me, all I want is that you will never get hurt again, Jenny, because you are mine.”
Jenny felt warmth in her heart, was she really so important to him? Harold took off his jacket and gave it to her. Just when he was about to take her, a shadow appeared behind them. Jenny wanted to warn him, but it was already too late. The man had taken a rock and smashed it on Harold’s head. When the rock hit his head, it gave a sound of breaking bones.
Harold could not keep his balance, and kneeled on the ground, trying to catch himself and Jenny’s weight, who he was holding in his arms. On his forehead cold sweat was appearing, but he did not let go of Jenny, he held her tight in his arms. He was not going to let Jenny get hurt again, ever!
The man behind them was just going to hit Harold once again, when Jenny quickly moved to take the hit for him. Harold turned around, the gun in his left hand.
He did not raise his head, he did not look, but every single one of his shots was a sure hit.
First shot, the man was hit in his leg and kneeled down.
Second shot, the was hit in his arm and let go of the rock.
Third shot, he was hit in the head, the blood and brain was praying all over the floor.
The man landed on the ground, flesh and blood everywhere.
Jenny was quiet, Harold’s body shook without any balance. “Harold! Harold, what’s wrong! You are scaring me!”
“Just… stay… alive…”
