âYes, Iâm unwell! Now do as you please.
If you desire a breakup, so be it.
Just leave!â she screamed.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she snatched the report from Azielâs grip, crumpled it further, and was about to discard it.
However, before she could, Aziel drew her into his embrace.
As Sarah writhed and pounded his chest in an attempt to break free, Aziel, his eyes rimmed red, held her even more tightly, unwilling to release her.
As her resistance began to ebb, Aziel softly inquired, âSarah, could you please share what exactly transpired on the day you were ambushed by the robbers?â
He had been aware of Sarahâs unusual behavior since that day, and he was certain it was more than a simple abduction case.
Aziel was resolute in his quest for answers, and Sarah understood there was no evading this confrontation anymore.
Collecting herself, she dried her tears and sank into the comfort of the sofa.
After wrestling with her thoughts for a while, she finally began to recount the chilling ordeal in a tremulous voice.
âThose individuals that day⦠they had meticulously planned everything.
Beyond the abduction, they had a video camera with them.
â
Sarah managed to narrate the horrific incident, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Almost reflexively, she pulled herself into a ball, cocooned in Azielâs supportive hold.
Aziel listened to her disjointed account, his heart shattering with every word.
âSo, it wasnât by choice.
I simply couldnât bear the thought of anyone getting too close to me.
â Sarahâs voice quivered with raw emotion, causing Aziel to hold her even tighter.
He gently stroked her hair, his eyes moist, soothing her in a tender voice akin to comforting a frightened child.
âItâs alright, itâs okay.
None of this is your fault.
â
Aziel held Sarah with a firm, comforting grip, his gaze swimming with a blend of anguish and regret.
âThis wasnât your fault; youâre the victim.
Iâm here with you, so donât be scared.

He bore the guilt of not identifying her trauma sooner, Leaving her to grapple with her demons alone.
Simultaneously, he resolved in his heart that the architects of this tragedy would not escape justice.
Their shared confession led to a peaceful reconciliation.
Sarah nestled against Azielâs chest, her tumultuous emotions slowly subsiding.
However, Aziel found himself plagued with regret.
He was oblivious to the profound psychological trauma Sarah had been wrestling with, and yet, he had lost control of himself the previous night.
âWhatâs the matter?â Spotting Azielâs unusual expression, Sarah gently squeezed his hand.
âIâ¦â Reflecting on the prior night, Azielâs cheeks colored slightly.
âI didnât realize why you were so⦠resistant⦠I may have crossed a line last night.
â
Sarahâs response was a soft chuckle; she craned her neck to meet his gaze and said, âItâs fine; Iâm not bothered by it now.
