Mafia's Dangerous Obsession

"AHH! L-let me go!" It can hear the pleading voice of the poor woman, almost begging for her life. The man quickly grabbed the woman's cheek, where her jaw almost crashed, and his nails seemed to dig into the girl's bruised face.

"You can't escape from me. You have to remember that," said the man as if he was going crazy. The woman just stared straight at the young man's scary face. "But before I kill you, let's play first. Do you want to play hide and seek? You seem to be good at it, don't you?"

The man let go of her violently; he almost broke the lady's neck because of that.

The young man stood up properly. "Let's start, okay?" He pulled out the gun, the reason why the woman automatically swallowed. She was catching her breath as fast as her heart was beating.

"I will count to ten, and you can run or hide wherever you want. One!" Even though the woman struggled because her thigh ached from the beating and kicking she received, she insisted on standing up and running. It was not just her foot that hurt but her whole body, but she tried to ignore it all.

"Two. Three. Four." The man counted fast, so she hurried to run. "Five. Six."

She still heard the count until she quickly covered her ears and bowed a little when the man fired a gun into the sky.

Her fear didn't last long either because she continued running again. She didn't have time to stop and give in to the fear she felt at that moment. She sped up from running, and even though her leg hurt, she ignored it because the only important thing for her was to get out of that hellish place.

"This will not be the end of me. I will not die here," she said boldly to herself. She have to be strong and needs to have the courage to escape because if she doesn't do that, she might give up.

"You hooh. Where are you." She heard the man's voice behind her and quickly bent down in the tall grass.

What she's thankful for now is that the surrounding is dark, and it seems like it will rain any moment. Because for sure, the man chasing her would see her easily if it was bright in the area.

BANG!

The young woman quickly covered her ears again from that gunshot. She knew the man was close to her because the sound he made was loud.

"Where are you? Just hide well, baby girl, or else that was the last time you could hide from me," the man said.

The girl seemed to catch her breath when she saw the man standing in front of the tall grasses where she was hiding. But thankfully, he didn’t caught her.

She automatically covered her mouth again tightly so she wouldn't make any noise. The only thing she could hear at that time was the pounding on her chest. It took about twenty minutes for her to hide in those grasses until the rain started to fall from the sky; that is what she was waiting for so that she could come out. She first ensured the man was far away before standing up.

The woman quickly ran in the opposite direction. She made a careful and silent escape until she saw the road not so far from where she was standing. She gathered all her strength to run towards that road until she heard a loud bang again, so she quickly bent down.

"THERE YOU ARE!"

She turned around when she heard that voice and saw the man looking at her while pointing the gun in her direction. He fired his gun once more. BANG!

She bowed again and was thankful that the bullet didn't hit her, and started walking faster to get down the road. She was running carefully, fearing that she would slip because of the mud made by the rain. The girl knows that if she falls, the man chasing her will definitely catch her, which will end her life.

She even turned behind her to see if the man was still following her, but then she noticed that the man had disappeared again, so she took that opportunity to run even faster until she could get down there on the road. She ran freely in the dark, without even noticing that the man stopped chasing her because he slipped in the mud and hit his head on a stone, causing him to lose consciousness.

Even though the woman was frail and her foot hurt more, she ignored it all. She walked on that road for a few minutes until she saw a car coming. Her body seemed to want to give up, but she tried her best to block the middle of the road to stop that car.

Zelus was driving his car quietly; he was alone inside at that time until he immediately stamp on the car's break because of the woman who suddenly blocked his path.

He would have chosen to hit that woman because he was in a hurry, but he was forced to stop. Zelus just got that new car earlier, so he can't afford to damage it. He honked at the woman repeatedly but noticed that she was just looking straight at him. He didn't know what kind of look she was throwing at him, but he knew he didn't like it. Zelus also frowned when he noticed that the woman was filthy and her face covered in bruises. She also has a crack in her mouth with blood still on it.

He was shocked when the woman quickly approached his car window near the passenger seat.

"P-please, help me. Help me!" the woman said.

"Someone wants to kill me. I'm begging you, please help me. "

Zelus couldn't help but frown.

"Did you come from inside that forest?" he asked the woman and pointed to the forest.

"Y-yes," the woman answered. Zelus secretly smirked at her answer.

"Okay, hop in."

The woman quickly got into Zelus's car. Zelus immediately turned his car around and sped off.

The woman doesn’t know that Zelus is acquainted with the man who wants to kill her. Is Zelus helping her or not? What will happen to the poor girl? What if her life had gone worst with the man she was with?
