Chapter 3
I wanted to tell Hank to stop, to really stop.
However, I did not dare open my mouth because I was afraid that if I did, it would not be words that came out, but something else entirely.
While I was still tangled in my rising panic, Hank's voice drifted into my ear again.
"I heard everything."
My eyelid twitched, and I hurried to ask what he meant and what exactly he had heard. He leaned in closer, letting out a low laugh right beside my ear.
"Luis… He's kind of weak, huh?"
My heart stuttered.
How did he know that?
The embarrassment hit me all at once, sharp and suffocating, making me feel like I could disappear on the spot.
I let out a frustrated huff. "Hey! How could you eavesdrop on a married couple like that?"
Hank only chuckled, that same teasing edge lingering in his voice.
"Suzanna, weren't you the one peeking through my door while I was with my girlfriend?
"We share the same hobby. We're a perfect match."
His words made my face burn even hotter.
"That's nonsense. W-who's a perfect match with you?"
"Of course it's you, Suzanna." As soon as he said it, he leaned in and blew a warm breath against my ear.
A sharp, tingling sensation shot through me like an electric current, and my body shuddered before I could stop it.
"Wow. Suzanna, you're really sensitive. You must be pretty lonely, huh? Do you want me to help you out a little?" As he spoke, his hands moved forward. A sound almost escaped my throat, but I forced it down at the last second. I could hold back my voice, but not the way my body reacted.
I wanted to push him away. I really did. However, my body would not listen.
"Suzanna, I fell for you the first time I saw you. Divorce Luis and be with me.
"I'll treat you far better than he ever could.
"Suzanna, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you believe me?
"If you don't… then I guess I'll have to prove it to you right here."
At first, I thought he was just trying to scare me with words. Then, I heard the sound of a belt being undone.
My scalp went numb. Before I could react, I heard fabric shifting. Panic exploded in my head like a swarm of bees buzzing wildly.
"Hank, don't. P-please stop… Don’t go inside..."
Behind me, Hank let out a heavy breath. His voice turned rough, edged with something dangerous.
"Suzanna, you've been holding it in for a long time, haven't you?
"Let me take good care of you. I’ll make sure you find out what it really feels like to be a woman."
I felt like I was about to lose my mind. My voice trembled as I begged him to stop messing around.
He let out a low, muffled sound before asking in a hoarse voice, "Suzanna, don't you think I'm stronger than Luis?"
I could not deny it. It was true, but I did not dare say it out loud, afraid it would only make him more reckless, more bold.
My silence seemed to irritate Hank, and he pressed forward again. I panicked and tried to stop him, but just then, heavy, uneven footsteps echoed from the living room, followed by Luis's voice outside the door.
"Suzanna, is the food ready yet? I'm starving!"
My heart lurched. Luis was out there, and my mind felt like it was about to explode. However, the man behind me acted as if he had not heard a thing. He still pressed himself close against me, not stopping at all.
This was bad. This was really bad.
The footsteps were getting closer.
Heat rushed to my head.
Without thinking, I reached down and grabbed him with force, stunned by how big he was...
