Chapter 115 A caged bird (1/2)

It is only Mike and Giselle now alone in the room. Bridgette left the place and is probably guarding outside.

Mike remained silent, and his eyes had never left Giselle's.

It frightened her. She's alone with the man who tried to exploit her the previous day. Worries led to anxiety, and Giselle started panicking. She has to get out, or something terrible might happen.

'Think Giselle.' - She thought.

Mike stayed nearby the door. He didn't move a muscle but, as mentioned his gaze, never left Giselle. His piercing eyes could break Giselle's cautious shield easily. It looked as if he is waiting for Giselle to make progress.

For a few seconds, both didn't move and waited for each other to initiate.

Giselle ran out of patience.

She didn't want to provoke the guy into doing something, Giselle panicked. Her brain wrecked over the thought of convincing Mike to let her escape this place without any trouble. It took a while, but Giselle finally made a move.

”You shouldn't listen to her, Mike,” Giselle said.

No response.

”Mike?” Giselle begged.

”Why different tone?” Mike spoke.

Giselle got confused.

”You had a discontent look on your face and that rude tone of yours from yesterday, where is it?” Mike reacted.

Giselle's hit with guilt. She knew that she had behaved roughly with Mike, but, the poor girl never thought it would come back hunting her again.

”Mike, I-” she stammered.

”Mike, listen to me. Whatever, Bridgette said you should not believe in it. I already gave you my answer.”

”She is excellent at manipulating people into her evil schemes.”

Giselle tried all sorts of reasoning with Mike in letting him know Bridgette's true nature, but, the guy didn't even buzz.

”Mike, you have to believe me and let me go,” Giselle cried.

”And why should I do that?” Mike asked.

”Because you're not the Mike I met in the past. You're-”

”You're corrupted by that girl. And whatever I may say will not please you. Please, Mike, we can talk later. Let me go. Don't do what she desires.”

...

”We can't talk later,” Mike responded sternly.

Giselle lost her wit and now decided to force her way out. What she saw in front of her was the resultant of Bridgette's rage.

She walked towards the door but only got stopped by Mike. His large frame dominated Giselle. She looked like a caged bird.

”Let me out, Mike,” Giselle grunted.

Her voice displayed rudeness. She didn't care no more for the guy.Previously, she had to hold back to leave the place but, not anymore. Not when the guy won't even budge for a second to Giselle's words. Mike found Giselle's nerve to be disturbing.

”I didn't know you're that feisty,” Mike said and cupped Giselle's face with both of his hands.

”Don't touch me,” Giselle pushed him away and retreated to maintain a distance between Mike and herself.

”Whatever you're trying to do is completely wrong. Let me out before you regret it, Mike.”

However, Giselle's continuous efforts miserably failed when Mike took a step towards her.

Giselle feared. Her heartbeat raced over the terror of the approaching male who might abuse her inside this room.

”Honestly, I didn't believe that you would come. A part of me expected you, but mostly I thought, Giselle, would never fall for such lousy tricks.” Mike spoke.

”Trick?” Giselle asked in despair.

”Bridgette asked Jamie to lure you here so that I can make you mine. It's alright, Giselle. It's okay, and I get it that you don't like me. But the fact you call my true feelings as disgusting, it hit me hard, you know.”

Giselle kept moving backward while Mike approached her.

”Mike-”

Giselle's voice cracked. She started begging.

”Mike, I apologize for saying those words. Still, you should know that I was mad at that moment and you had kept following me around. What can I do, say? Maybe I shouldn't have called your feeling as disgusting but, trust me, I didn't mean it.”

Giselle's hardcore begging made Mike pause. She felt relieved.

However, the words he spits next startled, Giselle.

”You think I give a shit about all that.”

”It's alright if you don't accept my love, but that doesn't mean that I can't have you right? I'll have my way with you right here and now. No one can disturb us, Giselle.”

”You know what this might help me to throw away my feeling for you. Just help me, alright?”

Mike's words killed Giselle as she had her heart ached from those words. Mike has completely lost her sense and appeared to be wild. His mind didn't think of the situation they're in right now. Giselle saw Mike's change with her own eyes. It frightened her. She never knew that the girl would go as far to manipulate a guy into changing his emotions and play with it.

Mike looked exactly like that; like a puppet controlled by its master.

He resumed his pace and now increased his speed. He almost neared Giselle and towered over her figure. Giselle jolted to the ground.

”Guess what?” Mike leaned towards her.

”And, nobody knows it. None, not even Bridgette knows it,” Mike said.

Giselle panicked and looked perplexed.
