A Crazy Night Novel

Christina felt her temple throbbing, feeling as though a sense of danger was wrapping her tightly like a massive web.

Opening her arms, she hugged Nathaniel’s slender waist and buried her face in him. “Someone tried to kill me. Nathaniel.”

His body stiffened momentarily before he anxiously pushed her away and peered straight into her eyes. “Tell me what happened earlier.” No wonder I felt a strange vibe when I entered the room. I didn’t ask her about it directly in consideration of her privacy.

Pursing her lips, Christina wondered what she should say.

Nathaniel perceptively noticed the handprint hidden underneath her shirt and checked her neck.

Seeing the harrowing red mark left behind by the strangle pained him.

A murderous intent flashed past his eyes as he did his best to conceal his most violent persona.

“Tell me, Christina. Please.” There was a cold touch to his tender voice.

Closing her eyes, she suppressed her fear and recounted, “When I was sleeping, someone entered my -room and tried to choke me. There was a blackout here at the time, so the room was too dark for me to make out the person’s appearance. When I was fighting back, I scratched that person, but I don’t know which part of the body part I injured.”

Regret filled Nathaniel’s voice. “I’m sorry. I should’ve stayed with you or returned here sooner.” Those old farts in the board meeting kept troubling me. Even though I handled them perfectly well, I wasted too much time. To think I almost lost Christina in the few hours I left her unattended!

Smiling, Christina reassured, “It happened so suddenly and no one saw it coming, so don’t blame yourself, Nathaniel. I won’t allow you to do that.”

Unfortunately, Nathaniel was unable to forgive himself because he thought that such a dangerous encounter could’ve been avoided entirely.

“I’ll handle your discharge procedure so you can continue to recuperate at home,” stated Nathaniel firmly. “I won’t allow a similar incident to occur again, Christina.”
