His Forbidden Obsession novel Chapter 3

Her legs were slightly trembling. Her palms had started sweating whereas her azure eyes were still faintly blurry because of her tears.

She was clutching that envelope tightly in her fists while her eyes were staring at each and every vehicle running on that highway road at its full speed. Her throat turned dry in fear because she was not used to being all alone on such a dangerous highway where an uncountable number of vehicles were running at their tremendous speed.

She didn't even know how to take a lift or call for a cab because her brother had always been there for her whenever she had to go out, including going to her school and coming back to home.

Basically, throughout her life, she had found herself totally secured and guarded by her brother and his protection, in each and every situation and that thing had made her totally dependent on him and Nathan had always kept her secured in his protective cage because he knew his sister was too innocuous and tender hearted and headed for the outside world which could taint and hurt her sinless soul.

Seraphina gulped hard and looked at her wrist watch. Her eyes widened because she was running out of time, so exhaling a deep sigh, she tried to step on the road from the pavement.

She had just taken a couple of steps on the road when she heard a loud honk . She turned her head and her body frozen in fear by watching a car storming towards her at full speed.

Her legs stopped moving. Her mind stopped functioning and she even lost her strength to move aside. Tears pricked into her eyes and she shut her lashes when the car almost reached her but suddenly she felt someone pull her back from her place forcefully.

"Are you alright, my child? "

She slowly opened her wet lashes hearing that voice and saw that delivery person staring at her concerned.

More tears filled her eyes which made that man more tense.

"Don't cry. You're safe, my child. Don't cry please, " That man spoke while caressing her head softly because he understood her fear through her quivering body.

"Where were you going ? " He asked her when she calmed a bit.

Seraphina showed him the envelope and answered in her tender voice.

"Today is my brother's very important interview and he needs this document but he forgot it in home and without it ,he won't be able to give his interview, "

"Did you call your brother? "

She nodded immediately and answered

"Yes, but his phone is out of reach and I don't have much more time. His interview is at 11,so I was going to his interview place,"

That man checked the time on his wrist watch and said.

"It's already 10:35 . How will you get there on time ? "

Her eyes again filled with tears hearing him.

"Ssh.. It's ok, dear. I can drop you there if you want on my motorcycle, "

Her teary eyes filled with hope but something came into her mind which Nathan had taught her that was, never to take a lift or ride from a stranger.

"But my brother told me not to take a lift from strangers, "

That man smiled at her unmolded words .

" Your brother has told you the absolutely correct thing. We should not take a lift from strangers but here I am trying to help you by returning your favour, " He stated to which she got confused.

"Favour? "

"Yes, remember. You had given me water to drink today at your door, so I am returning that good deed of yours, " He told her and she just gazed at him.

"I am not forcing you, dear but just want to help you but the decision is yours, "

She stared at him for a couple of minutes and after fighting her inner battle, she replied.

"Thank you, uncle. Now, please let's go, "

That man nodded and walked towards his motorcycle and she followed him. He handed her the spare helmet and wore his.

Seraphina was wearing the helmet when she heard him asking her.

"Where is your brother's interview? "

She gulped and again looked at the envelope.
