I made a thing....
Sometimes, you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
- Dr. Seuss
This moment
This is a moment...just a seemingly insignificant fleeting moment.
In an alternative universe,
You and Jake are batchmates at college. The two of you are sitting at a table, doing your things separately. You working on a note while him studying for an upcoming assessment.
Oh! Actually he isn't studying, but is trying really hard to focus on the paper in his hands. Soon, before your eyes, you notice slumber taking over him. His reddened eyes from over working are gradually being covered by the dark lashes. Eye lashes fluttering as he blinks, your lips twitch.
His head soon falls down, worrying you that his neck would get sore later. Still, you yield to the smile which has been trying to conquer your poker face for a while.
Oh!
If only he knew...
How adorable he is at this moment...
This moment...this seemingly insignificant fleeting moment
If only he knew...
How your heart flutters at the sight of him...
If only he knew...
The pain crushing your heart every passing second at the sight of him...
Would he ever love you back the way you do...
If he come to know?

Honestly,
Can't even celebrate 100 followers when
about one forth of them are bots😕
: (
Shackled
I’m often haunted
By something I never wanted
But I can see clearly now
Why some get tied down
It makes me uncomfortable
"mc, please stop this."
"Stop what?"
"Don't you think you are kind of being flirty? Especially when I gave you my answer already ?"
'That's because I never stopped trying to get closer to you...'
"Honestly I feel uncomfortable when you do that. We have been acting like nothing happened all this time so you should not bring those kinds of topics, right?"
'That's...No matter how much I thought we can stay as just friends... I can't seem to stop loving you...'
"Please don't be angry or upset. But it's hard to stay in the friend zone when you act like that."
'I just can't stop loving you, Jake...'
I smile, as gently and carefree as possible.
"I see. I guess my jokes went too far. I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
'God, please don't let the tears flow...'
"Thanks for telling me, Jake."
So I turn back. As above all, I don't want you to be uncomfortable.
I love you enough to see you falling in love with her...
Wow 💞 This is lovely 😍🥺
I won't be happy until Jake and MC can have a life together!!! 🥹💕

Chapter 13
Just as I am about to storm out, a beggar blocks my path. No. The way he stares directly into my eyes, despite wearing rags and being covered in dirt, how his dark eyes are still carrying a fighting spirit…I can tell at a glance. This is no ordinary beggar.
"Tony?" Phil comes forth, his voice evident of surprise and confusion. "Who?" I ask. Even though I want to kick the lad and leave, my gut feeling tells me to stay. "He belongs to the whispers." Passing by me, Phil stands before the boy. " What brings you here at this time?"
Tony gulps. I sneer at my heart. The boy who dared to block my path moments ago is showing off his nervousness. "...T-the lady! We found the lady!"
"What?!" I grab him by the neck, baring my teeth. I tried so hard to keep up my sanity, not to take my anger out on the wrong person. But why is this guy not talking properly? “What do you mean? Lady? Where?!-”
“Whoa! Whoa! Now, now. Don’t break his neck and let him speak.” Phil stealthily managed to loosen my grasp on the boy’s neck. I take a hard, deep breath. “…Speak.”
Phil is right. I need to be calm and calculating more than at any other time right now.
“A-at the tavern. We managed to get her inside Charlotte’s room for now.” The boy stutters, trembling in fear and panic. Without bothering to hear, I leave. At this point, I don’t care if it’s a trap or not. If there is a chance…a one-in-a-million chance for me to find her, I will risk everything.
***
Where am I?
Hear a lot of voices from a distance. My sight is a blur, my head is spinning. I was kidnapped and tortured. But who was it, I can’t remember. I feel as if I’ve met them before, but where I cannot recall. I blink hard. Maybe they have taken me somewhere so they can torture me more.
What’s the point of living at this point?
Why did I even bother to hold on for so long?
How long have I been held captive?
I cannot recall…
He had blue eyes…
Black hair…
Ah…I give up.
I feel a warm sensation around me. Is it a hand? Are they going to touch me again? I wriggle, trying to get away. It seems my body is yet to give up the futile resistance.
But this time, I hear a woman’s tender voice from above my head. “Sh…It’s alright, my lady. Everything is okay now.” This is the first time I find a woman around in how long I recall. I open my heavy eyelids. A blond hair covers my eyes, and as I try to straighten up, a pair of grey eyes appear before me. “Are you up now, lady?”
My dry lips move, a voice faint enough to escape even to my ears. “…Who?”
With the word leaving my mouth, the door slams open. Oh! This is the first time I’m noticing that we are in a small bedroom. I am lying on a tiny bed with a hard mattress. The stranger woman is sitting next to me, another blond-haired woman is standing by the bed.
Through the open door, a man walks in. Even the sight of the man caused me to flinch.
Deep blue eyes…
Dark black hair…
A deep voice…
“MC! MC!” Sturdy hands wrapping around my body. I have no strength to neither shove him away nor accept his embrace. I can sense my heart calming down, relief washing over me. I hear the deep voice over my head, “I’m sorry I was late, my love.”
The voice rang once more, much lower and quieter, “Take her and treat her well. She’s our guest and a prisoner, for now.”
Is he talking about me?
Where am I going to be dragged this time?
Instead, the woman who was holding me a moment ago is taken away. As soon as she leaves the room, the hands around me strengthen their grasp. I feel sleep rushing through me…
“...Jake,” I mumble something. What is it that I am saying? I was not planning to say anything though…
Because it’s no use. Whatever I ask, they would only hear what they want to hear.
“Yes, it’s me. I’m sorry, MC. I’m sorry I’m late…”
Why is this man apologizing? He looks so familiar too…
Who is he…?
Blue eyes, black hair…
Wait.
Blue eyes, black hair?
Unknown energy rushes to my body, giving me strength. I shove away the man as hard as I can.
How could I forget?
He is the man behind all!
“Go away! Go away, you demon!” I scream, clutching my hair.
***
The doctor sighed as soon as he left the room. MC suddenly started screaming and fainting. For now, I have brought her into my mansion, in my bedroom. I dare say, she is now in the safest place in the capital. Nobody can touch her here.
“Why was she like that?” I ask, nervously. “It seems to be a defence mechanism.” The doctor sighed again, beckoning me to walk a little further away from the room. “I have seen a similar case before. A woman was raped by her neighbour continuously for half a day. The evidence was pointing towards that man, but the woman kept insisting that the man who raped her was her fiance.”
I feel my brows frowning, I cannot seem to manage my expression well at the moment. “What?”
“The woman’s fiance had a strong alibi. He was at the academy, taking an exam at that time. A clear alibi, with so many witnesses.”
“Then why?”
“The woman was traumatized. She unconsciously pushed away the memory of her rapist and replaced it with her fiance.”
“...Because the memory was too terrifying?” I feel my heart sink.
The doctor nods quietly, “Sir William, it seems the lady’s traumatized and her memory is confused. She had been drugged several times as well. There is evidence of physical torture and rape…” Sighing for the hundredth time, the doctor mumbles. “You should be grateful that she’s still alive after all this. Any human is bound to break after going through that. Especially for a lady who has mostly walked in a flowery path.” The doctor, Wilhelm, who has been working under him, was one of the few who knew my real identity. He looks around, cautiously.
“Remember this Jake. You should resent yourself for this. An innocent girl was taught what hell is, all because you couldn’t hold your greed.” Wilhelm hissed, turning away, not before murmuring in a voice full of contempt. “Her consciousness goes back and forth. She may cling to you and kick you out in a moment. Deal with her patiently.”
He is right. I feel my heart heavier than ever. Wilhelm warned me of this, even before I made an advance on MC.
“Jake. Don’t tell me that I didn’t warn you later. Leave that lady alone. You will only make her suffer by dragging her into our world.”
I exhale hard as I look at the tiny figure laying lifelessly on the large bed. Maybe the size of the bed is making her appear even smaller.
How beautiful her smile was, how lively her eyes sparkled, how enthusiastic her personality was…
I’m the one who ruined it all…
I recall the words of the woman who had apparently saved her. Amy Bell Lewis is her name.
“How did you take her away without anyone noticing?”
The woman shrugged, “I’m in charge of cooking. I simply drugged the food.”
“Why go to such lengths?”
She sighed, wiping away the corner of her right eye. “Even for me, as a prostitute, that was too much. I can only imagine how miserable the lady must have been. That bastard, Richy is a beast, no human!”
Jake clenched his jaw, “What do you know about the commander?”
“Nothing. He comes and goes. He has blue eyes and black hair,” A corner of her overly painted red lips crept up, “Much similar to yours, kind sir.”
I sigh, massaging my temples. That woman gives me a chill in the spine. An eerie vibe is what she gives off. She’s either a good actress or a seductive slut.
***
The room is nice.
The woman hums, sitting on the bed at the centre of the room. Her blond hair, flowing down her shoulders, lays on the bed. Just recalling the moments she spent with the commander, is enough to die for him.
If it’s for him, I’ll do everything.
Even if it’s helping him to get together with another bitch.
Amidst such thoughts, she remembered.
“What do you mean to let her go?”
Amy gently massaged his sturdy shoulders. The grazing of the ebony hair, just having his masculine fragrance tickling her nose is enough to climax. “Commander, you don’t understand your own heart, do you?” Gently kneeling before him, she took his large hand in hers. “You want that woman. Commander, you yearn for that woman, you want to hold her, don’t you?” Taking his hand, she rubbed her cheek into his palm.”If you keep letting that bastard Richy shove his filthy dick in her like this, she’ll come to hate you.”
At her words, he flinched. Of course, no one would’ve noticed.
‘No one but me.’
She, who has loved him for so long, would notice. Even if he would never let her sleep with him, it doesn’t matter. As long as she can see him and touch him like now, that’s all that matters.
“I’ll save the woman and take her to that man. I’ll slowly earn his trust and make conflict between the two. That way, the lady will become yours and that man will face ruins. Two birds from one stone.”
He sneered, “How confident you look.” At the clear insult, she beamed. Of course, he would never admit it. But he thinks that woman is the noblest, prettiest woman in the world. Compared to her, Amy was just a worm crawling on the dirt.
Well, not that it matters.
“I am confident. But commander, I have a favour to ask you.” She said, coyly playing with his thick, long fingers. His brow rose, “Favor? It’s not like you to ask me for anything?”
“If everything goes well, no. After you destroy Jake and make that lady yours…will you embrace me once? Just once? I’ll ask for no more.” As she asked with pleading eyes, the man took his time answering.
“...I’ll think about it.”

***
Their new home was a neat apartment on the seventh floor in a complex of fifteen stories. Not to say, expensive. Jake really must be earning a lot, she thought as she looked around. The packages were all around the living room. The apartment consisted of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, the kitchen and the dining area other than the living room. The gym and the swimming pool was accessible for the residents, and there was also a park. The name of the complex was ‘Eden’, whereas she thought the name did it’s job.
Now it was up to them to arrange everything.
Noticing his study desk and the computer, she pointed a finger, turning to him. “Don’t put that in the study.”
He blinked, confused, “Why?”
“You’d spend most of the day there, not to mention you don’t even sleep for that long.” This was her biggest fear when she heard he’d be forking from home mostly, unless he’s required to be at a particular place.
“Where am I supposed to work then?”
“Bedroom. It’s spacious enough. Isn’t it?”
He scratched the back of his head, befuddled, “Well, it is. But why?”
“Otherwise I won’t be able to see you. I can’t just barge into your study, but I definitely can, into the bedroom. I won’t make a sound, I promise. Hm?”
His lips curved up, “It’s fine. Let’s do that.”
She grinned, akin to a child, hanging onto his arm, “Thanks! But we can keep the study, of course. I will also need it time to time.” As he nodded a thought crossed her mind.
Jake always let her have her way. But was he really comfortable with that? Or was he putting up with her requests?
“Actually I have trouble focusing on anywhere. That’s why I need the study to be efficient. Jake?”
“Yes?”
“Do you also have such problems?”
She was not sure. Especially because she did not know what sort of work he did. He did not tell her. She did not ask him. As if an unspoken rule existed between them. She assumed two reasons for this, either he was prohibited to talk about his work outside or he would put her in some sort of danger if he did tell her. Either way, she was sure that Jake did not love his job. He was doing this so they could be together. And she was guilty for it.
He shook his head, looking ahead. “No. In fact, for the past years I had to work under extreme conditions like really noisy or cramped places at times. Thus, I’m fine with anywhere.”
“I see. Alright, then.”
Just what kind of a life did he live until now? She could only leave it to her imagination. For some reason, Jake doesn’t seem to want to talk about his past. Thus, she did not want to pry into it anymore.
While she was deep in such thoughts, Jake snaked his arms round her neck from behind. Oshi looked back, surprised. He simply smiled, pointing something with his chin. She looked at her neck and gasped.
A silver necklace was around her neck! The pendant was…
One blue iris…
“I learned that Iris flower means hope. I actually made this while I was clearing my name.” Scratching the back of his neck, Jake avoided her eyes. “Because you’re m hope…I thought it’d match you. I hope you like it.” With a hint of a red hue on his cheeks, he looked adorably nervous.
Honestly. How could I not like this?
That day, a piece of his enormous was gifted for her to keep.
***
“Jake, should we hold a housewarming party?”
They had finally managed to arrange everything orderly in their new home and now, were lying on their cozy bed, together.
“Hm? Okay.”
“Do you have anyone you want to invite? Other than Hannah and Lily, I mean.”
She was curious. Jake must have at least had a few friends before he had to hide, or so she thought. After all, Jake wasn’t as antisocial as he pretended to be.
Contrary to her thoughts, he shook his head. “Not really.”
“Really?” He nodded again, confirming. Maybe he felt detached to his old friends, she thought.
Oshi, herself could relate to it. She herself had only a very small circle of friends. Jake was even more reserved than her, so of course he wouldn’t open up to anyone that easily.
“Okay then. We can invite our friends from Duskwood, and two of my closest friends. Is that fine with you?” He only nodded, thus she continued, “When should we hold it?”
“Next weekend?”
“Yeah! I’ll invite them right away!” She jumped up, akin to an excited child, a chuckle escaping his mouth as he watched her.
She had a very mysterious, at times a confusing personality. She would spend hours without a word yet become so talkative that she would talk to him for an entire night. She would not look for him for hours yet would refuse to leave his cuddle at times. Albeit openly showing off her affection, at times making him embarrassed, she would get very shy the next moment.
To Jake, Oshi was like a puzzle. A perplexing one at that. It would take him a lifetime to solve, yet he was sure he would never get bored of it.
Every time he witnessed a new side of his beloved, he would feel very proud of himself.
He never knew human affection could be so lovely, heartwarming and pure.
It was the first time.
Someone loved him without expecting anything in return.
Without ever trying to change him into something else.
Someone who wholeheartedly accepted him, without a single complain.
She was such a great woman.
And he did not deserve her.
Yet he could never let go of her.
For her, this house will be their home. But for him, she was his home.
***
“Oshi! The house is really great!”
“I know right!”
Sarah was looking around the apartment with Noah and Oshi.
Sarah Edevane and Noah Walker were her beloved friends. Oshi’s friendship with Sarah run to their high school days while Noah joined them in the university. Noah was also her colleague, though they work in different departments.
Sarah was an optimistic young lady, who reminded her of Jessy. Bright blond hair and amber eyes, Sarah was, akin to a little sun. Including her personality. While Noah, an ebony haired guy who possessed bluish gray eyes, was a happy go lucky lad who immediately clicked with her on the first time they met.
Jake had heard so much about these people in the past few days. Oshi was especially close with the duo than with her other friends and colleagues. As always, it was quite unpredictable. The three friends had completely different personalities, yet they somehow blended well. Maybe that was her charm.
The bell rang, Jake stepped up not to disturb his beloved, who was having fun with her pals. They were expecting their friends from Duskwood, yet two completely unexpected people stood at the doorstep.

“I will let go of her. Now that I saw you, I’m sure it won’t be in vain.”
Surprise was evident in the pair of blue irises as Jake heard Phil’s confession. Of course he would be. Even he himself was.
Phil chuckled, “Don’t worry. I can bet this bar itself that Oshi has no clue.”
Oshi was indeed a smart girl. She was good at reading people as well. But she never seemed to consider the possibility of someone being interested in her, romantically. He would say she was being too humble.
A little smile appeared on Jake’s face, “She really doesn’t know. And I don’t think she would ever know, unless you tell her yourself that is.”
“Then she would never know.” Phil gulped down the last of the cocktail, “I am content being good friends with her you know. But of course, if she ever turn to me, I wouldn’t hesitate. So take good care of her.”
“Such a thing would never happen.”
.....
Phil chuckled softly, remembering the little conversation he had last week.
Oshi and Jake were moving in together today it seemed. They were progressing rather quickly. Oshi really was quite reckless and daring at times.
Was getting over this woman even possible?
***
Jessy- Oshi, when are you moving in?
Oshi - We are already on the way.
Jessy- The furniture and other things?
Oshi- Hired professionals of course.😊
Jessy- Did you go see your parents? Last time you only called them right?
- How did it go?🤩
Oshi- Yeah. We went there yesterday.
- Jake was really nervous! You had to see him!😂
- My parents really liked him!
Jessy- Congratulations on both😍 Tell Jake I wished him too.
Oshi- Thanks Jessy😄 I’ll tell him.
“Jessy told me to congratulate you.”
Jake turned his head a little, still focusing on the road. “For what?”
“For moving on. And…for getting thumbs up from my parents?”
His lips curved up, causing her heart to skip a beat. “Tell Jessica, I thanked her.”
“Right! I was gonna ask you. Why do you call her Jessica?”
He tilted his head as if to ask what’s the problem with that, “Obviously, because that’s her name.”
“But we all call her Jessy.”
“Um...We were never close enough to go on a nick name basis.”
Oshi chuckled to his serious answer, “Ha ha! Yeah, it’s true, indeed. But that makes her feel awkward. So just call her Jessy.” She added, “Do you know what she feels when you call her ‘Jessica’? That you’re expressing your dislike towards her.”
He turned his head abruptly, surprised. “What? No. I never disliked Jessica. I never had any reason to. If anything, she helped us a lot by being on our side every time.”
“I know that. But others don’t know you that well.”
“It’s fine as long as you know.”
“No. It’s not. And I don’t want Jessy to get hurt. So call her Jessy from now on.”
“Alright. If you want me to. It’s not even that hard.”
“Right?”
“Yes. But I should say, I’ve noticed that you’re especially considerate of her.”
“Of course! Is there anyone who can dislike Jessy? Um..how to say it?” She continued, turning to his side excitedly, “Jessy is like a cute little puppy you can’t help but love. She awakens my protective instincts.”
Jake chuckled, looking at her excited face, amusement not hidden in his voice, “I see. Then I shall definitely use the nickname to call her, so that you won’t be upset.”
Surprisingly, Jake tend to play around with her time to time, on the contrary to her prior impressions. Her heart ached thinking how sad his life had been so far for him to have habitually concealed his playful nature. Ironically, she even felt proud that it was her, who could bring out the ludic boy in him.
“Oh? Wait this!”
“What is it?”
She held the phone in front for him when he stopped due to the traffic. The news article went on,
Emily Hudson’s tragic death. Who is the perpetrator?
Emily Hudson, a twenty five years old female office worker was reported missing on Saturday morning by Bill Roberts, the fiance. The police of Q city immediately dispatched several search parties only to find her handbag and a pair of heels dumped in a garbage pit. Emily had been missing for nearly a week, until Yesterday night, around 11pm, a homeless person had found a dead body behind the H&C department store car park and reported it to the police. The identity of the dead woman was found to be the missing girl, Emily Hudson. The cause of death is to be revealed after the autopsy. As of the culprit behind this brutal kidnapping and murder is yet to be found. Not to mention, this was the second murder happened in the same area in a span of one week.
“My apartment is also behind the H&C. The rent is cheap there and it’s near the university so many students live in that apartment complex. Not to mention many office workers who work in the area.”
Jake frowned, before focusing on the road again, “The alley behind the H&Q is the road that leads to the apartment complex. It is well lit and all the CCTV cameras are working, there was no possibility someone could drop a corpse there without noticing.”
Oshi blinked, confused and surprised, “How would you know all that?”
He answered nonchalantly, “Of course I looked into it. You lived there after all. I had to check if it was safe enough.”
Bewildered, Oshi stared at him for a moment before asking, “Safe enough?”
“I checked it for the first time because of the man without a face. For my peace of mind, I usually checked it at least once a week.” Then turning to her with a serious face, he added, “Oshi, I promise I did not look into your phone or computer at least once after the case was solved, neither did I looked into your personal life. I do not want you to think of me as a creepy person.”
As she continued to keep silent, he went on, hesitantly, “I only looked into your workplace and your home. I had to make sure you were not in danger by any means.”
She was dumbfounded. To be honest she didn’t know if she was supposed to be angry for looking into her work without permission, or praise him for trying his best not to pry too much into her life. After all, she told him a lot about her workplace and the day to day life via texts.
In the end she decided to let it slide for once.
“Well. I would be moving out anyway. I’d let it slide this once, but don’t do it again. Okay?”
He nodded. “I promise I won’t. Unless it’s an emergency, that is.” to which she chuckled.
A person cannot be changed that easily after all.

⚠️Warning: Blood, physical violence, intention of rape
Chapter 2
The evildoer doesn't believe my words and slaps me. Terrified, I feel the blood dripping down my delicate face. I keep insisting, "Sir, my fiancé is a simple merchant," I begin to tremble with fear.
The thug calls another man and shouts, " this bitch won't confess, I am sure she is hiding something from us. "
I look around, looking for a way to escape, but I can't find it. I am definitely at the mercy of the criminals. I feel the hot tears streaming down my face.
At this instant, quite annoyed, the second criminal pulls my hair and slaps me again. Due to the force of the impact, I end up falling off the chair.
He leans over and threatens, "I think I'm going to enjoy taking Jake's fiancée's virginity," he rips off my dresses as I defend myself, quite terrified. I try to protect myself with my fingernails and hit the criminal, who gets even angrier and tries to kiss me. His fetid tongue tries to run across my mouth. Scared, I bite down hard on his lips, which bleed profusely. I feel his disgusting blood on my lips and start to feel nauseous.
The other man, who appears to be the leader, pulls his accomplice away from me, saying, "I think we'd better wait a little while, if we leave her without food and drink, she will confess, otherwise we will be forced to torture the MC."
I breathe a sigh of relief, as I have managed to buy some time. However, the two thugs start kicking me, shouting "I think this will help you remember, dear."
Finally, the criminals retreat from the room and lock the door. I get up from the floor, bruised, and straighten my torn robes, I notice a trail of blood on the floor.
Even though I am weak, I walk around every corner of the dimly lit room to try to escape, but to no avail. The environment is quite inhospitable, dirty, but seems to be a fortress.
Feeling quite vulnerable, I start thinking about Jake. I have loved him since the first time I saw him, and I feel his love for me, especially in the moments when we kissed ardently. Last time, he was especially tender. He said that I was fascinating.
However, my fiancé has always been rather enigmatic. Several times when I asked him about his past, Jake kept his mouth shut. He said that when the time was right, he would tell me.
I lean against the wall, unsure of what my future holds while here. I rip off a piece of dresses that is already torn and wipe my face that feels covered in blood, unsure if it’s all mine. I fall to the floor unsure if Jake even knows where I am. If only I could have gotten him to talk about what he wasn't telling me. I could give the criminals what they want and get out of here.
However, he never told me. I don’t know if he didn’t trust me like I trusted him or he just didn’t want me to know. Until this moment, he never gave me a reason to doubt the life we have built these last two years, or the love we have shared, but how can I give them the information they want without betraying him. Instead of trying to figure out how to get out of this room since there is no way my mind wonders.
A year ago he asked me to be his forever, it was nothing short of amazing and I knew he had asked my father in advance. My parents adore this man for saving their business and their only daughter. He had pulled this simple gold band while down on one knee and I swear the whole town heard me scream yes in the middle of the square where we first saw eachother. However, now my mind wonders what he’s been hiding from me.
As my mind wanders to him now, I feel myself getting angry but I calm myself down because it won’t do any good sitting in here.

Chapter 1
I wake up to a pounding headache and a horrible taste in my mouth. My eyes are still closed but as I open them I see I’m not home anymore. I’m laying on a cot and I see a bucket and a wooden chair. I’m so confused on where I am but all I hear is dripping water coming from outside. I remember waiting for him for our anniversary date but then I don’t remember much after that. This pounding headache probably isn’t helping my memory at all either.
You see, I met him two years ago. I was at a flower stand with the man I was supposed to marry, however he was trying to buy my least favorite flowers. I was heading to my favorite when he kept grabbing my hand. I am stubborn which is very unlady like and refused to let him buy the one’s he wanted simply because they were cheaper. However, I noticed this man standing in the shadows of the alleyway. He was keeping himself hidden from the crowd, or so he thought, but I noticed him. Something about him filled me with feelings I sure didn’t have for this other man. In that moment of staring at him the man pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around me.
You see, my family wasn’t doing well with the trade business my father had. This man’s family had made a deal with my father to help keep his business afloat if I married their son. When I met this man I was not a fan of his due to his reputation in this town for treating women like property, to him that is all I was.
As I looked back to the alleyway the man I saw before was gone and I felt my body being pulled in a different direction. I tried to stop him but he refused to listen. All of a sudden I see someone step between us and stop him.
“She wants to go somewhere else. Were you not taught to treat a woman with respect?” this man says. All I see is his back but he’s wearing the same as the man I saw in the alley and my heart I swear stops.
The memories of those following weeks flood me. He got in touch with my father and helped me in exchange for me not having to marry that man. He never told me about his past or what he did when he wasn’t helping my father with the trade business. However, I knew his name was Jake and he called me MC. He had a huge house in the town which helped my father understand that was able to take care of me if we went that path. It didn’t take long for those feelings from the market to come back, watching him with my father working and coming around as much as he could. He finally asked me to be his and I accepted because for the first time in my life, I wanted it with this man.
Him asking me was a year ago today. He had this plan for today but refused to tell me. I was waiting at my parents house alone for him when someone broke it and took me.
I’m laying on the bed hoping for him to save me soon when I hear someone come and unlock the door. I jump up and this man is standing there with a stew and water for me. He doesn’t say anything at the moment but puts it down on the chair. As he goes to leave someone else comes in.
“Look lady, all you have to do is tell us where that man in your life finds the secrets that he keeps and sells.” this unknown man states.
“I have no idea what you are talking about!” I yell. “He works the trade business is all I know” I start to cry because they must have me confused me with someone else.
I hear the man laugh “oh sweetheart, we know you're lying so this is going to be easier if you just tell us everything” he says as he grabs my wrist and pulls me out of the room. There is no point in fighting this man, I feel too weak already. He pulls me into a room and ties me to a chair. I look around and see different items for torture and I still think they have the wrong person.
The man turns to me and grabs my face, “Look MC, just tell us where Jake gets his secrets and who he sells them too.” My eyes might get wide and scared as I’m unable to say anything as the man knows my name and Jake’s name. “Acting like you don’t know his secrets isn’t going to help you because we will just get you to talk,” the man says, letting go of my face and turning away.
“Sir, I really have no idea what you are talking about. My Jake works the trade business. He doesn't find people’s secrets and sell them,” I cry out.

Chapter 3
I was a tad late in arriving at the square, where I am supposed to pick MC up. I am surprised to see that she’s still not here, for MC was always precise on time. I still decide to wait for a little, for I have heard that women take much longer for dressing up.
It may take her more time today, for today is our first anniversary. I have made quite the effort as well, I am wearing these fancy clothes today. I prefer dark clothes on a usual day since it helps me conceal my presence. But for this day, for the love of my life, I have dressed in this navy blue coat, a light blue waistcoat donned with silver thread along with matching breeches. I am to swear to god, I would never have worn such a fancy dress, never in a million years, if it was not for this woman.
I tap my cane on the ground repeatedly, as I grow uneasy with the passing minutes. No matter how important of a day today is, MC being this tardy was unusual. I turn to signal Luke, a boy in my information guild, to get closer.
Luke is a boy, age around fifteen, who gathers hints at the square. The shop owners around have good relationships with the boy, who takes note of the little gossip they blabber. If a wealthy man is drifting from his usual path for a moment, a dignified woman seems to have a dirty affair with a new rising businessman and the list goes on.
I am the leader of the country’s largest information guild, I have thousands of men and women working under me. People would say we collect and hide secrets, but that is not all for it, I swear.
This is the truth that I have been hiding from her for such a long time.
That day, two years ago, when I saw you at a flower shop…You who were arguing with your fiance for your favourite flower gave off such a unique aura. Forgive me for not having known your name, for you are such a brave, truly dignified, wise woman.
From that moment to this day, I have always worked hard to have you, to make you my woman. Even hiding who I am and what I do for a living. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to lie about my name, so I revealed my real name to you, only for you. I have never been grateful that I did not choose to use a pseudonym for myself. Even so, since you are a smart woman, you realized I was quite enigmatic, early on.
This truth I intend to hide from you for another day, another day, one more day.
Even if I am to lie in front of the god himself, I’d do anything to hide it from you.
When I said I’d tell you when the right time comes…
Forgive me for having no such time.
There is no right day for you to know the truth. For your safety and my greed, you shall never learn anything. I intend to deceive you till death makes us apart.
I ask in a quiet voice, almost a whisper, “Did MC not arrive yet?”
The chestnut-haired lad ruffles his hair, perplexed. “What? The lady never arrived here.”
I frown. Depending on the circumstances, I’d have dragged him by the collar. “What do you mean never arrived?”
“Did you not change the rendezvous?”
Pray to tell, what the hell is this guy blabbering on? “What nonsense are you talking about? Have I done such an inconvenient thing ever?!”
Blinking, Luke states, “I know right? I told him that leader wouldn’t do so, but Mark said to mind my business.” Now shrugging, he continued. “The lady got on a carriage and asked to drop her at the fair.”
“Fair?”
Something is off.
“Who informed her of the changed rendezvous?”
Luke tilted his head, “Hm? The new guy did. The guy leader introduced to the lady the other day, one that came from a countryside branch. She had dropped the bracelet, the one leader gifted her. He gave it and said you told him to give it.”
“...Rogers?”
“Yes.” Nodding, Luke confirmed.
Just what is that guy plotting?
Richy Rogers.
That man was hired only to work for the face of the guild, which was a trading business to the oblivious. This man was never let inside the guild even though it has been nearly three years since he joined.
My hunch was right in the end.
For some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to trust that guy. I should’ve snapped his head the moment he appeared in front of me.
A spy. Let’s see where this is going…
But first, MC was the priority.
“Send a pigeon. Let everyone know, Richy Rogers and MC. If one of them is located, they’d receive ten-thousand pounds. Anything unusual as well. Each will gain ten thousand if they’re to work in a group, so no need for competition.” I stop a little, contemplating. “Rogers has to be found with his life intact, doesn’t matter how beaten as long as his mouth works. MC, of course, shouldn’t be touched. Anyone who did, will not see the sun another day, whether they work under me or not.”
“Understood.”
The lad swiftly disappeared among the crowd. I am headed to the fair first.
I wanted to hide this from you…forever. Even if I had to blind you, put you in a cage, I wanted to hide the truth from you…
Who knew this is how things would proceed? I was careless.
I am burning with rage. For every soul involved in this, I shall show them what living hell means.
-To be Continued.
Owkay, but I had to drag Richy in somehow >< He didn't suffer enough. He should suffer more, at least in this au...
