Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 1

　　“Help! Help!” Ariana heard a faint sound coming through the alley near her apartment that she rented with her best friend.

　　“Please help me!” The same faint sound came again but Ariana did not want to stop because it was dangerous to stop in the alley this late to help a stranger.  It could be an intentional set up.

　　She kept walking but her sensitive conscience would not allow her to leave someone who needs her help stranded. ‘Why do I always have a death wish? Ariana, please walk away’ she muttered to herself.

　　 By the time Ariana came back to her senses, she was already standing next to a bloody body, almost unrecognizable with a mixture of mud and blood.

　　“Sir, what happened to you?” “Let me get you to the hospital.”

　　“No” he insisted.

　　“… but you’re wounded” Ariana exclaimed.

　　“I know but I... I can clean myself up.” He stuttered due to his wounds. “I just need a place to stay for tonight.”

　　Ariana did not know where she got the bravery but for some reason, she trusted him at that moment. She helped him up. Ariana is slender and barely 5ft 4” in height, the man was a head taller than her with firm muscles but not too muscular, so it was still a bit uncomfortable for her to carry half his weight resting on her shoulder.

　　After she successfully brought the stranger into her apartment, she sat him on the couch in the small living room she shared with her best friend Emily Smith. Emily is not currently home; she sometimes stays with her boyfriend or with her family.

　　Ariana went in the bathroom to get the first aid kit and a clean towel with a basin of water to help him clean up his wound.

　　“What is your name stranger?” Ariana asked while taking off his shirt to clean around the wound on his side first. “… and you did not answer my previous question.”

　　“You just need to help me clean this wound. You don’t need to know all these things.” he said arrogantly but in a low muffled voice. Even in pain his voice was still mysterious but sexy. After she took his shirt off, she was in a daze after witnessing his sexy tanned abs and a voice that could have a girl head over heels.
