JORDAN I stopped, unsure I heard correctly. Then waited for another sound. When none came, I presumed it was in my head. Maybe, I shouldn’t have left her in there, all by herself. But if she saw me as a threat, then why remain there? But I couldn’t deny the fact that I deserved it. Anyone would freak if they woke up naked and beside a man who had done a lot of wrong things against them. Not to add, she was still traumatised by those bastards that took her. I shouldn’t have left, knowing that she barely slept at night. Yet, the look in her eyes, how easily she jumped to conclusion was hurtful. Leaving her suddenly made me realise I was more hurt than angry. I finished with the water I went downstairs for and headed for my bedroom. When I heard that scream again. This wasn’t in my head.
