Prologue

I never knew that I still had hidden feelings for him if I hadn’t seen him yesterday before this tragic thing happened to me.

I am in a place where only the humming sounds of birds can be heard outside throughout this location. A huge space with only the rays of the moon can illuminate this dark room that comes from a small hole in the roof. Sitting here in the corner, tightly tied to this chair with this piece of clothing covered over my mouth to prevent me from making noise.

I was trying to remove the leash from my hand, but my strength was not enough for me to escape.

My eyes grew wide open when somebody interrupted my struggle — my adrenaline rush when a masculine man standing right in front of me. I looked up to see who it was but only a glimpse of his deep brown eyes illuminated by the light.

How did he end up in front of me without even me noticing that he was coming?

Suddenly I felt a warm heavy breath in the crook of my neck saying, “Attempting to escape honey?” He said in a sexy husky voice. “You can’t do that ‘cause you’re all mine again.” Just mine!” He emphasized the word mine as if he hadn’t done anything bad to me yet his sexy voice seemed to fill my lost energy and I wanted him to utter more words ‘cause they could easily catch me in an instant.

But a little embarrassed took over me and I came back to my lost sanity when he spoke again. “No one would dare to steal you from me, if somebody would do that he would be living a hell in a lifetime.” He grumbled.

I couldn’t even speak one word because of what he was saying but instead, I narrowed my brow because of confusion.

Instantly, the entire space was filled with lights and a mischievous grin greeted me so well that plastered on his face everything came back in one blink. Letting the darkness consume me once more.

It’s him Liam Archer – my heartless ex-boyfriend who left a dark scar in my past.

Chapter 1: Break- up

Samantha’s POV

“Let’s break up.” Firm yet hurtful words came out of his mouth. A blank expression was written on his face.

I stared at him intently straight into his deep brown eyes which incredibly showed disinterest when his gaze met mine.

I hold back my tears but I know that my heart is slowly breaking. My whole being shattered because of his stupid words uttered by his f*cking mouth.

I do hate cursing but this guy deserves it.

“Are you out of your mind?” I stated, my voice now deep as I glared at him.

His eyes widened as if he was shocked by what I said, “ I fell out of love, I think you deserved someone who could love you more than I do.”

A sudden pang in my chest that I couldn’t even feel before.

It’s painful, right?

He said those words easily as if no one would be hurt. Standing here like I was the most pitiful person he had ever seen. He completely changed. He is now a cold and indifferent person standing in front of me.

There was me slowly showing my weakest side to this man. Does he need to see me like this? My heart was breaking into pieces as tears were already crashing down my face. I was hurt and fragile. I couldn’t help but cry in front of him. He saw how my eyes became gloomy, and that was the most painful when he saw that I was hurt, but he didn’t care.

After he witnessed how fragile I was and said those words, he walked instantly as my heart drowned in tears. He seemed so unbothered by what he said, he didn’t care about what he said as if he didn’t love me. He just simply broke up with me and left me in tears.

“What did I do to you to hurt me like this?!” I couldn’t hold back my emotion anymore and it made me shout at him at the top of my lungs so he could hear well every word I proclaimed.

“Nothing, just go home so you can rest.” He said without even looking at me.

“Huh! Are you even concerned about me after all the heartbreaks you gave me this night?” I exclaimed.

He even kept stepping away without even glancing at me for just one more time. I was dumbfounded, hurt, and had nothing to do with his stupid decision. I was left unanswered. I just watched him disappear from my sight, waiting for him might say that those words he said were just a prank or what, but he took more and more steps to get away from me.

Many questions keep running through my head, and my brain will explode at any time. Like what did I do to him? All I know we were okay all this time, yes we had fights but it was fixed right away. But why did it end up like this without any valid reasons? He fell out of love, why? Am I not good enough? Did he cheat or did he commit a sin that I don’t even know? I asked those questions to myself while whimpering as if I found an exact answer to it.

His words held a sword that pierced my heart instantly. I cried so much like it was the end of everything. After sobbing for a couple of minutes, I took a deep breath and started to make a single step.

As I take a few steps, the cold breeze caresses gently on my skin. I paused to make myself calm even just for a moment, attempting to feel the void of emotion then I looked up, and I saw how the sky got more dark. It seemed to understand how hurt I was.

I left that place where I carried so much pain and suddenly the rain poured out; it synchronized my tears, and no matter what I did, my chest ached in pain.

I knelt on the sidewalk, with this broken heart of mine, while the rain poured on its climax. It’s like all the rain is on me, focusing on me. The rain meets me well. It bleeds inside, and it seems I ran out of breath. It made my heart tear up. The inside of me was already broken, and it felt like it would be torn apart into a million pieces. He didn’t care about my feelings anymore; he just ignored them and left me in the middle of nowhere.

I snapped back to reality when someone tapped my shoulder from the back. I fixed myself and got up with my blurry sight, I slowly turned around my head to see who it was.

An elegant man wearing a raincoat standing in front of me, half of his face covered with the cap on his head. Then a sudden glim of light arced on his lips, those cupid bow lips seemed so familiar to me.

“Here, take this.” He said while handing me an umbrella. “Next time please don’t forget to bring an umbrella the weather is too bad for your fragile heart, you hard-headed.” He added while laughing secretly.

“And who are you to call me hard-headed? And besides, who are you?” I said with a little irritation that was barely visible on my face.

“You will know too soon.” He said.

“Hmm, a concerned person coming out from nowhere handed me an umbrella, that sounds suspicious huh, maybe you have planned something bad for me?” I furrowed my eyebrow together with these puffy eyes of mine.

“I don’t have any bad intentions for you and besides, I’ll be going now, the rain seems to stop within this hour,” He said in a cold tone voice while turning his back from me.

He took one step and stopped. “I don’t want to see you hurt, it hurts me more when I see you cry. And please don’t you ever beg him to come back, if he is true to you, he won’t make any excuses to break you” He added with full sincerity in his manly voice.

I was shocked by what he said. He didn't want me to be hurt, why? Besides, I don’t even know him in the first place.

But I just ignored it immediately ‘cause I didn’t want to think about anything that related to this man. I just directly replied to him with a little smirk on my face.

“Yeah you’re right, I’ll make him regret about his decision to let me go. It’s his loss for breaking up with me, not mine.” I said with a bitter smile on my face.

“Wait am I discussing the happenings of my life to a stranger?” I spoke while crossing my arms.

“You still haven’t changed, Sam,” He said while waving his bare hands as a sign of goodbye, and that made me stiff on my stand and shocked causing, my eyes to wide open when he called my name.

He left me wondering-

Why the hell he knows me…
