Emily noticed that he was afraid of height,
" Are you not afraid?" she asked softly while looking at the man and only then he turn to look at her, sweat could be seen on his handsome face so indeed he was scared.
"Of course I'm afraid!.. it too high from here if I jump it going to hurt a lot..." He said the obvious reason then looked down the building a bit before back to her.
"But that is not what I'm afraid of the most...."he said and he seem serious when he said that.
He posed a bit before fixing his eyes on hers as it was the only thing he could see from her facial features since she had covered her face with a mask.
"I'm afraid if I die like this..my mother and grandmother will be very sad, they will be heartbroken and disappointed with me" he said softly before a small chuckle left him,
Though he couldn't be so certain about that but at least they were the ones who at some point cared about what happened to him.
"He was right!" that was what came into her mind after listening to him, his words made her realize how wrong her decision was, thinking about her father who truly adore her, she realised if she did that indeed he will be heartbroken and disappointed with her and only then she started to reconsider her decision but before she made up her mind to stop her plan, she heard his gentle yet serious voice saying again.
"Look! I don't know what is real troubling you but this is not a good way to deal with it, don't throw away your life like this you are still very important miss...." He posed as he didn't even know her name but thinking about it he heard her say.
"Emilia.. my name is Emilia" she said still her gaze fixed on his eyes that looked at her tenderly then with all seriousness he could master he said.
"Yes miss Emilia you are important don't let go of your life like this" he said then carefully got down from the edge of the roof.
"Here!.. take my hand and get down I'm not going to let you go no matter what happens, just trust me and get down okay!"he said while his eyes focus on hers then he motion for her to gave him her hand.
"Come here trust me I'm never going to let go of you... l promise" he said with determination visible on his eyes not knowing the weight of his words.
With his gentle eyes and continue assuring words she found herself giving in to him and slowly she placed her hand on his so she can get down from the edge of the rooftop of that tall building
but just then suddenly things changed when she tripped and fell off the edge out of fear.
And her body hung from the roof dragging him along in the process as her hand was still on his tightly held.
Leon couldn't believe what was happening and the turn of events she almost fell down but his hands held her firmly while his heart was beating so fast thinking about what was about to happen and held her tightly.
Leon noticed her restless eyes so he decided to coax her not be afraid.
"Look at me miss Emilia okay everything is going to be alright I'm not going to let go of you okay now give me your other hand" he said to calm her since she seem very afraid although she wanted to jump down a while ago but who knew the process was this scary.
After a long struggling finally he was able to rift her up but then only to have her fall back on him and immediately made him lose his balance so they both fall down on the floor while painting heavily, sweat could be seen on their faces as they tried to catch their breath.
"You are fine now okay!" Leon said assuring her that she was safe as he held her tight on his embrace touching her hairs gently to comfort her shivering body.
Not letting him go Emilia held him tightly too nuzzling her head on his steady muscular chest still painting hard, she couldn't believe that she was saved and inwardly swore not to do anything as dangerous as that.
After a long silence Emilia lifted her head to look at Leon who seem to flinch in pain when she moved, Emily looked at their position and realised that it was uncomfortable then why didn't this guy say anything,
but then once she moved her hand from the left side of his stomach she touched something wet and thick that when she brought her hand to her face to see what it was? only to find it was ..
"blood!!"
She was shocked where did it come from? but she doesn't feel any pain or maybe it was him! quickly she got up and check on him at the left side of his stomach and there she realised that there was a big wound
she turn around to look at what might have been the cause of his wound and saw a metal sharp rod stuck on the wall of the rooftop where he was standing, when she fall his body might have been pressed against it the whole time but he didn't let go of her despite the emerse pain he was feeling just thinking about it she felt very guilty.
Quickly she covered his wound with the piece of clothing that she tore from her dress and started waking him up desperately as it seem he was losing conscious.
