CHAPTER 1
Kathrina kept running until the man caught her and immediately pulled her waist tightly. She can feel the Man’s hand rough and big on her back that make her feel really nervous
.
The Man is one of the Famous Actor in the Country, Jinny Regdo.
“You can’t escape,” The Man whispered at her, Snaking his arm on her waist. He forced kiss her neck. Kathrina trying hard to loosen the man’s hand on her.
“Let me go! You maniac!” Kathrina shouted and with full force removing the Man's hand.
“It’s a waste to my money if I let you go without taking advantage of what I paid for,” a creepy smile crept across his face.
Kathrina stepped back, She felt and touched the hard and long metal thing behind her, She held it immediately and have the opportunity to hit it to the Man. She ran as fast as she could without thinking if she killed him, only her concern is to escape inside the dark room she did not know.
She get out to that dark room in messy hair and crumpled dress, She found herself in high end building. She ignored the staff and run toward the car in front of the building, In Reverie…she get inside the car.
The Man inside the Car, Naru, narrowed his eyebrow and a bit shock when Kathrina get inside his car, He did not know her that’s why a big question to him ‘What this Lady doing inside my car?’
Naru turned his head to Kathrina, He was about to ask her to go out but He notice how Kathrina out of her mind. He dropped his gaze on Kathrina's dress and also quickly avoided when he saw her cleavage. He sat straight and faced the road again. Despite of Messy hair and Slightly ruined and wrinkled dress, Kathrina’s beauty still prevailed.
Naru Clear his Throat. He went back on wondering and asking why Kathrina is inside His car and it looks like it was a mistake.
Naru watched Kathrina gently fix her hair so her face was clearly visible. For the second thought, He knew Kathrina need his help…The way she acted out of her mind and her messy look that looked like she came from a war or in chaos.
He inhaled, “Where is your house, Miss?”
“L-le V-villa Building,” She stuttered and Shaking.
Naru felt worried and concerned the way Kathrina look frightened, She even can’t manage to recognize or to realize she got in someone’s car not in a taxi.
Naru looked at his side mirror to look if there is someone after them but none. The best he would do is … He started the engine of his car and drove away from that building.
Kathrina crying silently in the corner of the window while looking from afar. Naru frequently looking at the rearview mirror to check Kathrina.
She didn't know that Jinny would do that to her. Kathrina worked at the Club not as a paid woman, she just to serve drink there according to the contract she signed but Jinny forced and paid Three Thousand Dollar to Kathrina's manager so she was given to Jinny. Unfair for Kathrina because before The Manager lend Kathrina to Jinny, they made a deal where Kathrina can’t have any share.
Many thoughts inside Kathrina’s head, She’s thinking if she’ll leave her job but apparently She can’t because She’s living alone, she need to pay the rent of her apartment in high end building, other maintenance bills and her debt. Her salary was not enough in her morning job in the cafeteria owned by her friend.
She’s really afraid, she doesn’t want to face her Manager, she felt sexually harassed and tortured. All she wanted now is to rest and calm herself.
“We’re here, Miss,” Naru break the silence.
Kathrina dried her cheek and wipe her tears, She’s back in her sense. She was about to pull out her coin inside her wallet to pay but Naru immediately rejected her payment, “I’m not asking for payment. This is not taxi.”
Kathrina did not react and argue, she quickly got out of the car. After Three steps, she stopped… she looked back on Naru’s car. Her jaw dropped after realizing everything. She did not take Taxi she was thought but someone’s car. in her haste, she did not pay attention to that. She stiffened in where she’s standing when the door of the car she rode in opened, the owner of the Car, Naru came out.
“Aren’t you coming in, Miss?” He asked while stepping toward Kathrina.
“W-why?” Kathrina want to ask ‘Why Naru help her and drive her here?’ and for her second question, ‘Why He came out and came near’.
He seems nice but Kathrina need to assure what this Man needs to her. She turned her head to the building and a bit amused, She’s in front of the right building, Le Villa Building. She glanced back at Naru with narrowed eyebrow and question was on her face.
“You have to dress up, Miss, your dress is a bit revealing and short," Said Naru, he removed his coat and put it on Kathrina. She did not know what she’s feeling because at this moment despite of what happen to her earlier…she felt safe to Naru and that is the first time she felt at ease for her entire life.
“T-thank y-you, Mister,” She said stuttering, she doesn’t know what to say but only Thank you came out.
"Naru Kryon Dizon call me Naru or Kry for short," He introduced.
Kathrina is still shock and didn’t know what to say.
He looked at his wrist watch, "It's already eleven, you may go in your condo unit," He smiled at her politely.
Kathrina nodded as her answer to him.
After her three step…
“Wait!”
She turned her head back to Naru.
“I’ll accompany you inside?” Naru didn’t sure and even tried asking Kathrina if it’s okay to her.
“I-I’m…I’m fine, T-thanks,” Kathrina bow a bit because of embarrassed.
“Well…ahmm, G-good n-night?” Naru licked his lip and put his hand inside his pocket, He is trying not to lose his cool.
Kathrina walked as fast as she could, she didn’t know how to face Naru anymore. she owed him big time.
After Kathrina locked her door…she felt embarrassed again, she raised her right arm holding Naru’s coat that she didn’t gave back before she got inside her condo.
She gently folded the coat and put it on her laundry basket.
“I will wash it tomorrow,” She sighed.
She removed all her clothes and entered her comfort room, she opened the water on her bathtub.
This is a long night for her, a lot happened tonight to her.
She took a deep breath. she felt the water hugged her immediately as she laid down. There are things and many thoughts on her mind that she can’t explain and let go. She closed her eyes and calming herself again.
“You are useless!” Her aunt shouted while pointing her finger to Kathrina. One of her trauma that still haunting her.
“Ever since when I was a kid, i didn’t experience being love, I didn’t experience a happy family and didn’t know who are my parents,” She pressed her lips together and covered her mouth with her hand, trying herself to not cry loudly.
Her head started aching, it like an electrifying force braking her head.
“Stop!” She screamed in pain, holding her head and a bit pulling her hair.
“No one can hurt you as long as I’m here inside you,” Kathy said to her other self, Kathrina. Kathy smirk, she laid back again as if there’s nothing happened and forgot everything.
Kathrina diagnosed with a two personality disorder because of her trauma when she was a kid, she didn’t know when it started. She already consulted a psychiatrist but give up because of financial problem and because she loved…Kathy.
“I am you and you are me,” Kathy smiled at her.
