THE MONSTER WITHIN
CHAPTER 5

Lucas laid her on the bed as carefully as one could in an emergency and reached for his phone.
"You have five minutes", that was the only line he said to the person on the other side of the phone call.
After disconnecting the call , he approached the bed and took her hands in his, offering emotional support . She gripped him so hard, her fingernails stabbing into his skin while she squirmed in agony. It was just the two of them in here, so she did not need to reign in the pain. He did not flinch despite the fact that her hold on him was uncomfortable because he knew if he as much as showed the slightest reaction , she would let go of him and he didn't want that. He was not a ma*****st, but previously she always bit on her lip until it drew out blood while laying quietly with glazed eyes, much like an unfeeling doll. The last thing he wanted was her jumping back into the hole he barely managed to pull her out from.
The person he had called earlier rushed into the room, his disheveled appearance coupled with the beads of sweat glistening on his forehead betrayed the frantic effort he made to meet up with the ultimatum.
Taking in the scene, he sighed ruefully. "It will definitely bruise if she doesn't let go," he said, glancing at her vice-like grip on his hand. However, Lucas understood his underlying meaning, the doctor was referring to the frightening control she had over his emotions. Without missing a beat, the doctor retrieved a vial containing purple liquid from his opened briefcase.
"Do I look like I care?" Lucas deadpanned, his voice tinged with a hint of frustration.
"You surely don't," the doctor replied, his tone sympathetic yet pragmatic. He injected the liquid into an intravenous drip before carefully connecting it to her hand. The room fell silent as they watched the fluid flow into her veins.

"I love you so much"
He said these words so often, I heard them but just couldn't feel them no matter how hard I tried.
I knew I loved him
Why else would I keep trying to be with him despite the several failures?
Or not only forgive but also forget everything that gave a valid reason why we shouldn't be?
But despite all these reasons, I couldn't bring myself to say those words back to him
There has to something missing, and whatever that is, I must find it to get the answers I desperately need

THE MONSTER WITHIN☠️💀
Chapter Four

Duncan
During our ride home I realized how much I missed her smile, voice, eyes, ears, lips, every little thing about this girl intrigued me. You’d think after fifteen years of knowing each other I’d be bored around her but then you’d be very wrong because if anything I get more interested as the day passes by. Saying it’s because ‘she’s different from other girls’ might sound like a cliché to others but it’s true.
“Welcome to my GRAND mansion”, I bragged.
“Ugh, boys and their toys”, she grunted in reply. “You’re such a showoff”, she added.
“A showoff that you love sooooooo much and definitely can’t live without”, I quipped.
“You’re right; I love you ‘sooooooo’ much that I can sell you for a nickel”, she mimicked.
“Oww, that comeback was splendid which means I’m the greatest Sensei ever, all hail me”, I replied.
“Keep dreaming, SENSEI”, she mocked.

Our bickering continued till we reached the porch, I pulled open the door for her and the doorman closed it behind us. “Home sweet home”, I thought to myself as I whiffed up the aroma of lasagna; my favorite Italian cuisine and I’m pretty sure Nanny Anna made it.
“Dee, I’ll be in my room if you need me”, Sarah said quietly.
“Angel, are you okay?” she only nodded in response.
“You are definitely not okay, let’s go up together”, I whispered.

I walked behind her as she went towards the elevator, if I didn’t know her well I’d be fooled like the other servant into thinking she was healthy whereas pain was shooting through every bone in her body. Sarah was a kind of woman who didn’t let others see the pain she was going through either physically or emotionally but I was an exception because she trusts me and she knows she can always count on me to be by her side no matter what happens.
