Chapter 19
Skylar took the road that led out of the city. It had been an hour but still no word was spoken between them..
"..won't you ask where I am taking you?" Skylar finally broke the silence.
"What's the use? I will know when we get there.." responded Miray while still looking outside through the window.
It was the way that Miray did not acknowledge his presence even when they were just the two of them in the car, that made Skylar's blood to boil. If he had not asked her a question at the interview she would have probably ignored him throughout. Knowing this made him very angry for he was not used to such type of treatment. He increased the speed of the car which was at first going at a normal fast pace. Miray felt the motion of the car as she held on her seatbelt.
"What are you doing?!" Without knowing it, she had raised her voice to Skylar.
Hearing Miray panic for the first time made Skylar enjoy the moment. "open it.." he pointed at a file that was close to Miray's seat.
Miray opened the file and there were pictures of her with Terrence having lunch in the past two weeks at different locations. "Why are you showing me this?", her eyes widened but she did not face Skylar for she did not want him to see the reaction on her face.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?" he continued to increased the speed of the car and bent his head to her side, whispering to her slowly, "....if I can't have you, no one can..."
Miray's heart started to race, 'he can't be this irrational to actually kill us because of jealousy right?' She questioned herself while trying to calm down. But it had been like Skylar heard her, for he continued to increase the speed of the car which made Miray to feel tensed. She turned to him trying to figure out if he was serious or not. He sensed sharp eyes staring at him and he gave out a smile on his face while he continued to increase the speed of the car.
"Skylar! are you crazy?!" Miray could not believe what was happening. "Stop! Or you will get us killed!"
"Make me do it.." he said it while slowly turning his face to look at her. All he wanted, was to see her beg.
"What do you want?" Miray was taking turns at looking at both the road and Skylar to see if there were any car coming.
"You know what I want Miray.." The fact that he could not get what he wanted with her made him crazy. He hated what he was feeling.
After three
"Fine, you want to kill us? Go ahead...At least I won't die alone." Miray laid back and crossed her arms like she was not panicking some seconds ago.
Skylar became even more angry after he heard her last words. He momentously stopped the car, unbelt his seatbelt and forcefully placed his lips on hers. She tried to resist but there was no room for escape, he was already on top of her.
There was saltiness in his lips and Miray got the sandalwood smell from his perfume. This time around, she did not return his kiss. He continued to kiss her while his hands went around her. After he was satisfied, he raised his head and looked directly into her eyes. Miray looked back into his eyes, it was then she realised that he had beautiful eyes even though they were filled with so much anger at that moment. A strong urge to kiss him came to her but she resisted it. While trying to hold back her desire she unknowingly bit her lower lip. The closeness between them made her heart to beat fast that Skylar felt it as he saw the way she bit her lower lip.
"Why do you have to fight it?" he did not move an inch away and continued to watch her. The look in her eyes was different from before, there was something in her eyes and he couldn't understand what it was.
"No matter what,..... I will never be yours.." the words from her came coldly as she tried to hold in her what she was feeling. She turned her face and did not look at him in the eyes again.
The feeling of being rejected came back to Skylar. He sat back on his sit and put his hands on the steering. Moments later, without looking in her direction he said, ".. get out..."
Miray was surprised with what he said but her pride was on the line. She opened the door and stepped out of the car. After she closed the door, without wasting time Skylar turned the car and disappeared from where she was.
'What a stupid man.' Miray cursed him out until the Lamborghini vanished from her eyes. Looking around, there was n.o.body who could help her and the sun burning like it was summer. She looked into her bag and her phone was not there, that was when she remembered how he tossed it out of the window. 'Aah!! idiot!' she cursed him out again in her heart. Since no one was around, she removed her shoes and broke the heel preparing to start walking.
After 2 hours of walking, Miray was exhausted and thirsty. Luckily she came across a few buildings and it seemed some people were around. An old woman who was sitting on a rocking chair by a small hat kept on looking at her. The woman could tell that she was a stranger and Miray approached her.
The woman lifted up her head and called out to Miray, "my child where are you coming from?"
Miray did not know how to explain the situation to her so she simply replied, " I got lost with a friend,... errr...do you know how I could get to the city."
"The bus only goes once in the morning and comes back at night... I don't think you would be able to go to the city at this time." stated the woman while looking at her wrist watch.
'd.a.m.n you Skylar! you will pay for this!' Miray continued to curse as she held her head trying to think of what to do.
The woman noticed the expression on her face, "why don't you try to call someone to come and get you from here with a car?" Even though she was old, she had very good observation skills. The woman could tell that Miray was wealthy just by looking at her skin.
"..eerrr.. could I use your phone?.. My phone's battery died out...I will definitely pay you for using it.." Miray smiled trying to look innocent to the woman.
"how much?" asked the old woman with a serious face.
Miray could not believe it, 'how could an old woman be like this?' She was going to pay her but she did not expect the old woman to put it out in such a way.
The old woman fixed her eyes on Miray who was searching for money in her bag. Miray took out all the banknotes she had and handed them to the old woman.
"hehehe, here you go, my child.. you can use it..." smiled the greedy old woman, handing out her phone.
Miray got the phone and the agony of who to call came to her. She had only memorized Zain, Madam Yethu and Hazel's number. Hazel was far from her and there was no way she could come and help. The scandal last time had left her in bad terms with her parents and this would cause another problem. The only person she could call was Zain but the thought of how to explain how she got there made her to hesitate. Miray took a big sigh and dialed Zain's number.
"h.e.l.lo,.. Zain, my love... your sister needs you right now.." She lowered her voice as she spoke on the phone. Please go to to read the latest chapters for free
