CHAPTER 10: Samantha Undefined love
Denise felt warm and strong arms hugging her when she opened her eyes. She struggled to free herself from his clutches, but he simply pulled her in closer and, in a deep velvety voice, said to her, “Sleep my princess, you need more rest.” It was Mike.
“How dare he think he has the right to hold me captive; he kidnaps me, beats me, and forces me to love him; he is a lunatic who needs treatment,” Denise said silently to herself.
“I need to use the restroom,” Denise replied quietly, Mike then let her go, and she dashed to the restroom, closing and locking it. Denise saw some light bruises on her torso and face when she looked in the mirror. She was emaciated and unattractive. She then undressed and went into the shower, allowing the water to touch her bruises. She felt relaxed, and it helped to alleviate some of her pain. But one thing that she was sure she will escape no matter what.

Mike stood there watching Denise limp to the bathroom. Mike murmured, “What happened to me? How can I hurt my girl? ” Because of that, he had screwed up so badly. “Nonsense, it’s her fault; she made you like this; if she had just loved you, she wouldn’t have been hurt like this,” a voice in his head whispered. So Mike thought it was Denise’s fault.
She wouldn’t have been hurt if she had loved him. Denise was the reason Mike turned into a monster.
After a few moments of thought.
Mike then stood up and walked to the nearest bathroom. He prepared a garment for her to wear. He then discreetly exited their room and went to the kitchen.
“Morning Paul, how are you?” Ronnie asked as he sat in his pajamas, sipping coffee.
“Always fine, any news?” Mike asked coldly,
“Well, the cops are searching the entire town, and they’ve posted some photos of Denise everywhere, as well as your pictures as a wanted criminal, But other than that, we’re fine as long as they can’t trace where we are,” Ronnie said flatly and Mike just nodded.

Denise looked outside after she finished bathing to see whether Mike was there, but he wasn’t. “Thank God he’s not here,” she whispered, Mike had already seen her naked, but she was uncomfortable with it and she’s still angry with him for hurting her. Denise doesn’t want to be around him.
Denise noticed some clothes on her bed as she reached for her closet. It was nothing more than an oversized shirt. “How could he do this to me? At least he should have given me some pants, “she complained. She quickly dressed and quietly left the room.
“It’s safe, they went out,” a female voice said to her, It was Ronnie’s girlfriend, Samantha. “Well, she seems about my age, or maybe a year older than me,” she muttered as she looked at her.
Denise walked carefully to the kitchen and noticed a letter on the food; she looked at Samantha, who simply shrugged and sat on the couch. Denise then took a walk and read the note.
“I prepared your favorite pancakes; I know you despise me right now, but could you just forgive me?? I’m sorry for hurting you last night,”
-P. S. Your most devoted lover.
“Well damn, he knows how to make a girl feel awful,” she grumbled as she tossed the note aside. “It’s going to take more than food to earn my forgiveness, but I’m going to enjoy this food,” she murmured.
“So, if you don’t mind my asking, how did you meet Mike? How long have you two known each other?” Samantha asked Denise as she slightly pulled her on the couch.
“I’ve known him since grade school, he’s not like this, he’s good, he’s like an angel to me, but now I don’t understand why she changed so abruptly, he’s not the Mike I used to know,” Denise sobbed, her eyes welling up with tears. Even though she despises Mike for abducting and beating her. He was still her best friend who always protected her, and she misses him.
Samantha pulled Denise into a hug, and Denise hugged her back. “I guess she’s not bad. I thought she was mean like most girls.” Denise said in her mind.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“I had no idea he had feelings for me; I just assumed it was just brotherly love, But it was more than that he was obsessed with me, and that’s why I’m here he can even kill someone for his stupid love, and I despise him for it,” Denise explained.
“It’s okay, I don’t know Mike very well, but I do know that he and Ronnie have been close since birth they treat each other like a real brother, Ronnie would do anything for Mike, and Mike would do anything for him. I felt the same way as you, and I still do,” Samantha said to her.
Denise raised an eyebrow at what Samantha had said to her. “How did you meet Ronnie? Did he hurt you? ” She asked curiously.
“Honestly, I didn’t know him. I’m a college student like you, and the first time I met him was when some gang wanted to rape me. He saved me, he stopped them and bested them, and then I blocked out, and when I woke up, I was somewhere else, and she raped me,” Samantha said in her voice melancholy.
“She’s been through a lot more than I have, yet why didn’t she leave him? ” I whispered. “Why didn’t you leave him or run away? Don’t you want to be free? ” Denise asked her as her curiosity was aroused.
“He can still find me even though I escaped from him,” she explained, “But I didn’t leave him because when he found out I had heart failure, he changed. He started looking at me differently, not just lustfully but lovingly. He always took care of me and my nephew. He proved to me that he was capable of good. Our wedding is next year. I still fear him, but I love him so much now. That’s why I chose to stay with him even though I want to stay with my mom.” Samantha said in a sad tone.
The door burst open just as Denise was about to say anything. They both leaped to their feet. It was Ronnie and Mike. Ronnie was enraged and furious. Samantha began to tremble with fear, which Denise noticed. She’s hoping Ronnie won’t hurt Samantha, his girlfriend.
“What did you tell her?”Ronnie yelled, grabbing Samantha’s hair. Denise was about to say something when Mike grabbed her waist and looked at her. “Don’t interfere with them,” Mike said in an authoritative tone.
“What are you talking about?” Samantha whimpered.
“You know what I’m talking about, your mother!” Ronnie shouted.
“I didn’t tell her anything. Please don’t hurt me,” She yelled out. Then, Ronnie let her go. Denise thought he was done, but then he grabbed her and took her into their room.
