Chapter 13 He Kisses Her

“Who is it?” Because it was late at night, she did not dare to open the door but asked in a deep voice. No one answered outside, but the knocking was incessant. She panicked but kept her breath steady. 

“I won’t open the door until you make a sound.” 

The rapping on the door continued for a few more beats before a low, suppressed yell came. “Kisa Becker!” 

She shuddered. ‘It is Gilbert’s voice. He is still haunting her like a ghost. I should have known it; as long as I’m still in this city, I can never get away from him. But is he coming here in the middle of the night to settle a score with her, or to get his son back?’ 

“Open up! Kisa, open up!” 

Kisa was so afraid of him that she would not open the door. She dragged the table over to block the door, crawled under the covers, and waited quietly, thinking he would leave when he had had enough. 

As expected, there was no sound outside after a short while. She waited for a while longer to make sure there was no sound outside before she got up and dragged the table away. After that, she cautiously opened the door.
