A Bid for Freedom by Gemorya

Chapter 1

I was awakened by the sun rays that hit my face, I was forced to stand up Then got up. I'm here again in my own condo and alone. I did my daily routine Then I got ready to go shopping for groceries. I wear my wigs and so my make ups to hide my true face, I need to do this to escape from him.

*beep*beep*

I get my cellphone Then check who texted. It was from Gina, my friend. He is the one who always gives me a job to support my daily needs. I quietly left my condo, I quickly went to my e bike and drove it to the grocery store.

Every day I find it difficult to act, just one wrong move and he will find Me. I don't want to go back to that place again. I'm sick and tired too.

I parked my bike then I entered the grocery store. I took everything I was going to buy then went to the counter to pay.

"1,050 pesos ma'am"

The cashier said. I smiled to her Then I paid and left.

I Was About To Get In When I Noticed Some Of The Men Hanging Out In The Parking Lot.

"There!"

I was alarmed and quickly ran, I left everything I bought and looked for a place to hide.

"Please, be open!"

I cried while shaking with fear and nervousness. Every car I pass I try to open it but I can't open it.

"Sh***tt please"

I cried and said, the smile curved my lips when I opened the back of the black car.

"Find her!"

I heard a man scream, I quickly closed the door of the car, then cried loudly and hugged myself.

I'm so tired for this. I have been struggling for years because of him.

"San? Is it gone?!"

"Sh*t oh! This will scold us again!"

I heard the conversation of the two men while leaving, they just passed by where I was hiding, I continued to cover my own mouth to stop my loud whining.

I also cried for a few minutes inside our car, I don't know whose it was but thank you and he left his car open.

"Are you done crying?"

I was startled by that voice. The man's face revealed itself to me. A perfect face-handsome. I was hypnotized by his blue eyes.

"Miss."

"Umm..."

"Tss. You can go now, No one is chasing you anymore."

Saying this then messed up his own hair. It just woke up. I also noticed the wrinkles on his forehead. I took a taste before nodding.

"Thank y-you but can I just do one last favor. I c-can assure you that I'll be safe when I go out-"

"Where's the location for us to finish? I want to have coffee"

It said. A smile curved into my lips Then I nodded to him again.

I was just silently looking out the window of this stranger's car. I don't know him, even his name. But, one thing I knew and felt an unfamiliar feeling- I felt safe beside him. I didn't waste time talking to him or even giving him any information about my personal life.

"Just turn around, opposite the black gate"

I secretly chastised myself for stuttering. I didn't hear anything from him, just for a moment we were on the opposite side of the black gate.

"T-thank-"

"Would you like me to have coffee?"

I swallowed my saliva then took a bite.

"Haha. come on"

I agreed with him, I got out of the car, he was the same.

"Sorry for the mess, sit there first"

I said to him Ng Maka we entered my condo, the condo is messy and messy. He sat on the couch and then looked around the entire household. I'm not used to having visitors anymore, since it happened to me the first month. Dariuz's men are still looking for me.

"Here."

I said handing him the coffee. It nodded, then took a sip of coffee, my eyebrows arched because it suddenly closed its eyes, then took another sip.

"Anyways, thank you Pala for your help"

I said. He just waved his hand Then he enjoyed his coffee. I approached the window and then looked around. I'm always like this every time I go out and when I get home, I'll check the place and surrounding first before I get complacent.

I left him there first and went to the room, I removed my wigs and make up and my contact lenses, then I got dressed and returned to the man in the living room who was still sipping coffee until now.

"Can I sleep just for an hour here?"

My attention turned to him, I saw how he was stunned, I looked away from him and then nodded. I just turned my attention away from the kitchen, I was quietly cleaning while occasionally glancing at the man on the couch who was now fast asleep.

I can't help but be enthralled by his Face, his jawline, kissable lips, pointed nose, fair skin, He is beautiful in every part of his body. I also noticed the muscular body that hangs from his white shirt that really molded his muscles. I wonder if he has abs

"Shh. Stop it Ashanti"

I chastise myself then shake my head, after I cleaned the whole house I cooked lunch. How many hours has the man been sleeping, I finished taking a bath and he is still not awake. When 12 o'clock struck, I got the courage to wake him up.
