"YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ME!" Hunter yelled in my face.
"Hunter! Get off her!" his mother yelled again. Hunter turned to her and pushed her to the ground. She hit hard, crying at the pain while holding onto her ankle.
Hunter turned his attention back to me. "I'll kill you before you even walk out that door." His hands wrapped my throat, squeezing the life out of me.
But then.. Out of the blue, Hunter was removed from the top of me and he went sprawling across the floor.
Jevan had arrived.
"Get out of my house!" Hunter yelled at him.
Jevan went over and rocked a punch to his face, sending him sprawling once again. "I swear to God, if you ever lay a finger on Blossom again, you'll be the one lying in a coffin. Not her!" Jevan threatened.
He picked me up bridal style and carried me out to his car. He went back in, got my belongings and got back into the car.
"Thank you. Thank you so much," I cried.
Jevan looked at my face. Sympathy wrote all over his. He sighed, started the car, help Janet to hers and we drove out of Hunter's property.
I didn't dare look back.

Jevan drove me to one of his private family doctor.
"We need to get you looked at," he said as he help me got out his car. My tiny body ached just by walking but Jevan, being the sweetest guy ever, picked me up and carried me in.
My body was thoroughly examined. At the end, I was given painkillers and ointments to assist in decreasing the swelling of my mouth and eyes.
Jevan took me to his house.
"Jevan, your fiancée is going to get mad," I whispered when I followed him into the grand living room.
"She's actually not here. She's in England on a business meeting. She left last night. She'll be gone for two weeks."
"You should still inform her about me being here."
"I already did."
"And?"
"She cussed me out but I don't care. You need me right now and being here is the safest place you could ever be."
"Thank you once again."
Jevan pulled me into his arms and lightly kissed my forehead. "I'm not going to let that son of a bitch hurt you ever again."
He then showed me to the guest bedroom. I applied some ointment to my swollen areas and went to sleep.

I was dreaming.
I was having the best time ever with new friends in a wide outdoor field.
Then the field started to rumble and fire emerged, blazing red and hot. Burning everything in its path.
"Run, Blossom run!" someone shouted.
"It will hurt you!" another shouted.
I tried to run but I couldn't move. The fire was getting closer and closer.
"Help!" I yelled, "I can't move!"
Everyone dispersed, leaving me to myself.
The fire reached me, except it didn't burn me. It transformed me. I saw the woman I wanted to be. I reached to her and she accepted.
I saw the mother I wanted to be. I reached to her and she accepted.
I saw my happiness. The man I desired. I reached to him but Hunter popped up from behind him and stabbed him right before me.
"I'm your happiness!" his nasty voice said.
"NO. NO. NO. NO. NOOOOOOO!"

"Blossom! Blossom! Hey, hey. Are you okay? I heard you screaming."
"I had a bad dream. Hunter was there. He killed you."
"Sshhh. It was only a dream," he whispered. I rested my head on his chest as he sat on my bed.
I was too scared to go back to sleep now.
"This reminds me of Hawaii," he said.
I smiled to myself.
"Blossom, we didn't talk about something though. Something important."
"What's that?"
"We didn't talk about if you become pregnant."
Blossom's POV
The bare thought of becoming pregnant with Hunter's child made my skin crawl. And with Jevan's would be dysfunctional. The last thing I wanted was to jeopardize his relationship with Adobi.

It was the following week. The bruises on my face healed nicely and I was looking forward to meeting up with Nina and Sophia for early morning coffee at our usual café.
"Ladies, from the bottom of my heart, I want to apologize to the both of you. You two have been nothing but good to me and I turned around and became an ass," I sincerely apologized.
"Blossom, you were going through a lot and we understand. We're just so happy that you've moved away from Hunter," Nina beamed her usual beam and Sophia nodded in response.
"I got the bill," I told my friends when the bill arrived. I handed the waitress my debit card and she left to conduct the transaction.
"So, when are you going to come back to work?" Sophia asked me.
"As soon as you want me to," I answered.
"How about next Monday? You can use the remainder of the week to get yourself together," Nina said.
"Sounds great," I answered as I finished my cup of steaming coffee.
"Excuse me ma'am. Your card has been declined," the waitress interrupted.
"That's impossible." I was stunned but reluctantly took the card with pure embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it. I'll get the bill," Sophia said.

When I got back to Jevan's home, I called my bank representative.
"Yes, Miss. Wright. I'm sorry to inform you that your funds had been cancelled and withdrawn from your account."
"Excuse me! That's my money! How can it just be cancelled and withdrawn without my approval?"
"Well, technically, it's Mr. Hunter Sax's money and he is the holder of that account. Your name was just added to it. But I can assure you that he has the leverage to cancel that account if he chooses and to withdraw any amount he pleases as well."
