Love Began with the First Meeting

At the master control room located at the top of the building…

Molly was standing against a wall with Brian less than two feet away from her. She stared at the man, with a look that was a combination of agony and hatred. This expression prevented Brian from coming closer and touching her.

He was utterly furious. Examining Molly's swollen face from afar, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He could have killed those brute guards by punching them to death, had there been no mercy left in his heart.

"Let me examine your injuries," he said through gritted teeth. He couldn't believe how much pain he felt just seeing the harm done to Molly. Brian tried to touch her face, but Molly turned her face away quickly to prevent this. This attempt resulted in her glaring at him once more.

After what she suffered in the last hour, Molly looked pretty much like a drowned rat. Hair tousled, lips bloodied, and a face so swollen made it difficult for Brian to recognize her. There were also cuts in her hands. And she smelled of the wine that splashed on her. Even as her entire body screamed in pain from the slapping and the kicking, Molly felt numb all over. But when Brian asked to check her injuries and then recalling how he referred to her as his woman back in the hall, her heartbeat quickened, and she also felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

"Molly, tell me what you're thinking of right now!" Brian shouted at her. This situation with Molly unable to speak frustrated him. Before the drugging incident, the woman always had a ready answer each time they would fight. But now, he couldn't even get a proper response from her. What Brian wasn't aware of was Molly's concern about annoying him for answering back.
