Chapter Seven

“No! No! Please leave her alone. Please!” Sandy yelled as the man continued flogging the helpless woman with his belt.

“Please, don’t hurt her. She’s all I got.”

She screamed when the man with red burning eyes turned to her. She tried to run, to hide from him, but he came upon her quicker than she could move out of his way.

“Come here,” he said in a harsh tone.

“No, please. Please leave me alone.”

The ripping of her dress sounded in the silence, punctuated by sobbing from the bleeding woman in the corner.

“Let me go,” Sandy sobbed, but the man threw back his head and laughed with devilment.

“I’ll only let you go when you’re dead.”

She screamed as he lifted his belt to her back.

Sandy jerked awake. Her eyes roamed around her room with fear that the monster who called himself a man would open the door and come for her.

Her heart beat a rapid thud against her chest as she waited for the ugly scene to take place. When it didn’t, her heart rate slowed its pace.

Relieved that it was only a nightmare, she still burst into tears. The nightmares were getting worse. And it was all thanks to her being back in Plyrock and opening her heart to a man.

No, she couldn’t allow it. Although she liked Seth, this was one of the reasons she couldn’t have anything to do with him. He would destroy her and wouldn’t even know it. She couldn’t afford to see him again.

Anguish tore at her heart at the thought of not allowing Seth into her life.

Sandy covered her face with her hands and wept profusely.

A week later, Sandy jogged to her door after her morning run and saw a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolate there. She removed her earbuds from her ears and bent to lift her gifts from the welcome mat.

She turned around and looked about her to see if Seth had decided to stick around for once. For the past whole week, whenever she came back home from jogging, she found bouquets of different flowers and little gifts like chocolate, stuffed animals and candies on her doorstep. The cards were usually signed simply with the initials S.B.

The card usually read,

Give me a chance.

You won’t regret getting to know me.

You’re the woman for me.

I’ll carry on with this until you say yes.

Sandy opened the card to see what he had written.

You can’t deny the attraction between us. We’re meant to be together.

She chuckled and opened her door. He was quite tenacious; she had to give him that. She hadn’t seen him since the morning after their dinner date. He had entered the diner looking all handsome as usual. And then, he had asked her out again and she had plainly told him that even though they’d shared an explosive kiss the previous night, her answer was still no. She didn’t want to date him. Her heart ached telling him all that, but it was the decision she had taken.

She dropped the box of chocolate on the coffee table and went into the kitchen to take out a vase for the roses.
