Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 6

Winona turned around to see Matt’s unsmiling and handsome face. Stunned into silence, she had not expected to be found so quickly, almost in record time.

She quickly clutched her companion’s arm, crying out in a quavering voice. “Please, you got to help me. He’s a sex trafficker!”

Outraged, the man moved in front of Winona, shielding her from Matt’s vision as he shouted. “Get out of here or I’ll call the police!”

Not even bothering to retort, Matt merely grabbed the man and threw him aside by sheer force.

Seeing this, Winona tried to escape, but was immediately surrounded by Matt’s people. With nowhere to run, she was eventually escorted to his chartered plane.

Once inside, Matt sat down and folded his arms dispassionately. “Quite the escape you planned out. Very unique. I see you have a unique sense of fashion too, wearing this outfit as a disguise.”

Winona glared at him. As she gripped her clothes in silent fury, her cheap skirt suddenly ripped open at the seams.

The glimpse of her bare legs prompted Matt to lean forward, grabbing hold of her to fix her gaze upon himself. “...And eager for some action too,” he spoke hoarsely.

She raised her foot in an attempt to kick his crotch, but he pinned her down. Furiously she struggled as she yelled. “Let go of me!”

“Matt, don’t you have better things to do besides bullying women?” Winona trembled as she spoke, her tone filled with some measure of shame and annoyance.

“Well, I’m great in bed. Interested?

“Go to hell!” she retorted.

Her body’s trembling drastically, until even her teeth started clattering despite her best efforts.

“Benjamin and you haven’t done it before, not even once, am I right?” Matt said mockingly.

Winona froze. Her reaction confirmed his suspicions, and exhilaration filled his heart - she will belong to him, body and soul.

She clenched her fists in humiliation as tears started streaking down her face.

Matt frowned, “You were just flirting with another man back at the airport. Don’t act like you’re so innocent all of a sudden.”

His statement finally set her off, and she began to cry uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Matt was at a loss for words. He was in a fluster to wipe away her tears, further smearing the heavy makeup. “Now hang on a minute, stop crying. You’re ruining the mood.”

“What did I ever do to deserve this? To be bullied by you people, to live such a miserable life. I’m Dr. Winston for god’s sake! Why do I have to go through with this kind of life – bullied by that mother of yours, while having to take care of Aileen at the same time, not to mention working myself to the bone just to go to college! All by myself! Just when I think it’s going to be over, you had to come and ruin everything...” she sobbed as she tried to hold back the tears.

All the pent-up emotions within Winona, accumulated throughout a long time, spilled out as she wept bitterly.

The frustration welled up inside Matt as he helplessly watched her cry, driving him to remove his jacket and wrapped it around her. “Enough. Stop crying, that’s enough now.”

Miraculously, she did stop. She stared at him through her red puffy eyes, the tears still glistering within.

He released his grip on her. “Remember, you’re mine now. No talking to other men, much less flirting with them.”

Winona quickly sat up, rearranging her disheveled clothes as she massaged her wrists, with a flash of triumph gleaming in her eyes.

A woman’s tears are her best weapons. Even the cold-blooded Matt thawed in the face of wet tears and a wavering voice.
