CHAPTER 9: Uncontrollable Love
She slowly opened her eyes and let out a whimper in response to what she saw. Mike’s face was right in front of her. “Why was he still there?” As she said in her thoughts. She can’t even explain why she’s so affected when Mike isn’t in a good situation, maybe because he’s still her best friend.
He caressed the side of her head and carefully pulled a strand of hair behind her ear. She was scared thinking Mike will hurt her. She couldn’t help but freeze like a statue when the air became stuck in her throat. “Please don’t hurt me,” she said quietly.
Denise noticed that Mike looked at her with his warm, dark grey eyes as if he was looking at something he love the most. He spoke softly to her and said, “I’m not going to hurt you.” Before wiping her tears, she gently gazed up at him. She sniffled and tried to draw away from him when her stare went all over his body. Denise is still furious with him for abducting her. “Shhh stop my princess,” He cooed as he hugged her, but Denise couldn’t keep her tears from falling.
“Don’t cry, my princess,” he whispered as he stroked her shoulder. It was as if something inside of her had just shut down, and the tears stopped pouring down her cheeks, and she stared at him with a puzzled expression on her face. “Why he’s being so gentle with me right now,” she mumbled. She breathed in his fragrances, which gave her tummy a tingling sensation. She has no idea whether it was fear or something else. She was terrified, but his scent reassured her and made her feel more at ease. It was an odd feeling, which frightened her. Later on, Denise felt sleepy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Denise felt warm and strong arms around her when she opened her eyes. Mike only tightened his grip on her as she fought to pull away. “Sleep, you need more rest,” Mike said, in a deep husky voice. “But, I need to use the restroom,” she replied, and Mike abruptly let her go. Denise dashed to the restroom and shut the door behind her. As she stared in the mirror, she muttered, “I need to get out of this place as quickly as possible.” Denise doesn’t want to tolerate her weird feelings towards his best friend. He’s messing with her emotions, and she needs to take action quickly before it’s too late.
So she opened the tiny window in the restroom, intending to flee through it, but someone grabbed her waist before she could do so. It was Mike, and he was furiously staring at her.
“Why did you do this? Why do you want to get away from me? ” Mike yelled at her. “Denise, all I want is for you is to love me as much as I love you; why is it so difficult for you to love me too?” he added. As he said it, Denise noticed a pain in his eyes. But for her, Mike is cruel and selfish in her eyes.
“You will never have my heart, and I will never consider living my life with you!” Denise spat and shoved him. Mike’s expression shifts from hurt to rage. Mike’s fists collided with her face before she could even realize what was going on, leading her to fall to the floor with a thud.
“I’m tired of being a nice guy, I love you, and you exclusively belong to me; there’s nothing you can do about it; I fucking love you, but you choose to run from me!” He spat and kicked her in the stomach hard. Denise screamed and fell into herself, she was crying even harder from the pain. He isn’t her best friend anymore, he was his captor now.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I love you, and that’s why I’m doing this! You can’t get away from me! “he exclaimed as he lightly kissed her neck and smelled her. As he walked out of the room and locked the door, he murmured to her, “You are mine.” Denise made her way to the bathroom to clean up. She then walked to her bed and wrapped the blankets around her, sobbing silently as she wished for someone to save her from her monster best friend. “What did I do to deserve this? I don’t deserve it.” She murmured. Then she surrendered to the darkness.

Mike locked the door, walked into the kitchen, and grabbed a beer. “How could she do that to me; she is mine forever; I would do anything for her, but why she can’t love me back,” he muttered to himself as she sipped her beer.
“I heard what happened, Mike, and I understand that she belongs to you, but hurting her physically won’t make her love you; it will only make her fear you,” Ronnie stated as he grabbed a drink and sat next to Mike on the couch.
“How can he say he did the same thing to his girl and that’s why his girlfriend fears him?” Mike whispered as he sipped his beer.
Mike took another sip of, his beer and said, “You did the same, Ronnie.”
“Yes, I did the same thing,” Ronnie chuckled, “but when Samantha started to love me, it changed me; it made me realize that life is so short, and hurting the person you love will only get you to a place you don’t want to be, but no matter how well I treat Samantha, she’s still afraid of me; she’s had a trauma because of my selfish attitude; we need to care for their feelings too so just keep making an effort, and one day Denise will realize it someday how lucky she is to have you.”
Mike is aware that Ronnie is correct; perhaps he is going about things incorrectly. He does, however, want Denise to understand that she cannot abandon him and that even the police will find them. He’s determined to become her man for the rest of her life.
“Ronnie.. we are not the same, what you may not help me, our thoughts are different,” Mike explained as he stood up. Before Ronnie left, he patted Mike’s back and said, “Just think about it Mike, you don’t have enough time,” and then he went to his bedroom.
Mike entered Denise’s room silently, then into the bathroom, where he discovered blood on the sink and bathtub. Every time he remembered what he had done to his girl, his heart ached; he had hurt his princess. He undressed and sat down next to Denise when he was finished. He pulled her closer to him until she was lying on his chest, then kissed her on the forehead. As Mike closed his eyes, a single tear fell from his eye.
