Chapter 4 : DG Company

I felt his hands on my thighs, as he suddenly kissed me, making me surprise.

I’m I a sex slave now? And before I could process what was going to happen next, I  suddenly felt his hands on my boobs, making me moan in pleasure. Was that my voice, I sounded like I was being possessed.

He kissed my neck and I was surprised to find myself itching near him.

What was happening to me? I’ve never responded in such a way to anyone’s touch.

“Ahh” another sound escaped my mouth, he suddenly attacked my lips and sucked on my tongue.

Just when I was thinking the deed was about to be done, I felt him fall onto the bed.

“Sis are you ok”.

This voice sounded like Ethan’s.

“Sis, I would save you “.

He untied me and took off my blindfold. I realized the lights were off.  I covered my naked body with my clothes, which were almost taken off by that person.

I noticed someone on the floor, this might be the person. But she couldn’t see his face as the lights were off and Ethan was dragging me out of the room. “ how did you free yourself”.

I asked as we run for our lives.

“I got lucky and was almost sold to an old man who is into teenage boys. I hit him with a lamp when he tried to take-off my clothes. I run out and got lucky when I heard some people talking about a lady with a baby like face to be sold to some Mr. G. I found the room they were talking about and got lucky to see you were there”.

We got out and saw we were trapped. We were on an island surrounded by water. And then I saw a boat and hurriedly went to it

And my brother and I paddled like out life depended on it.

“Ethan , where are you , you would be late for school”

I called out to my brother .

It’s been 8 weeks since the passing of my parents and I became my brothers only guardian.

I had to take care of him , as the only family member we know wanted us to disappear.

I hurriedly finish breakfast and laid it on the table. Ethan was keeping long and I had to go and check up on him.

What was keeping this boy occupied that he couldn’t hurry for school.

And went up and saw a scene which made me emotional.

I saw him arranging his things himself.

My brother has truly changed. After the encounter on the island, we left New York and moved to California to start afresh, as we had lost everything to my sneaky uncle..

It seemed he has grown overnight into a responsible young man. But he was too young , and should be like his other peers. That’s being rebellious and stubborn.

I shake the feeling of sadness out of me, I had to be strong for my brother. And as of now, he solely  relies on me only.

“So this is what’s keeping you busy . You don’t bother with it and hurry down for your breakfast. You would be late for school. Don’t worry ,I will do that later”.

“No sis, I would finish it and hurry down, okay”.

My brother said smiling at me. He wanted to be useful around the house.

I guess my reaction towards the death of  my parents at the hospital, made him afraid to lose me too.

I can’t  make him feel scared . He has to feel secured that I would never leave him.

I went and stopped him , seized his hand and made him face me.

“Listen, nothing would ever make me leave you . I would always be here for you and protect you, okay”.

My words made him teared up, as  expected, he wanted to be useful around the house only because he thought I would leave . Thinking his indifference to all the work around the house would make me leave him too.

“I don’t want to lose you too , I don’t want to “ .

My brother was shaking as he cried . The death of my parents took a toll on him as it did to me. But he is just trying to portray the image of a strong person.

After much coaxing and words of affirmation, that I would never leave him. My brother finally calmed down.

I took him out for breakfast and he  then left for school.

I had some interviews to attend to.

And hurriedly clean the house and went for my laptop to begin.

Hours later , I closed my laptop exhausted from all the talks. I was hoping to impress the companies I had the interview with but , their words after were not promising.

They all wanted someone with experience, and I had non as I started looking for a job as soon as I graduated , to cater for my brother.

Just as I was about to go for a cup of coffee , I got a call. It was a call from Nina.

I picked up and , there as expecting . I heard the ever loud Nina talking.

“Germ, ain’t you too much . You wouldn’t even pick my calls. When did I suddenly become a bother. I would deal with you if I was there”.

I chuckled as I knew she was only worried about me.

Nina left to further her studies abroad . As her parents didn’t like her idea of being an actress. They wanted her to be a lawyer, as they were.

She as always disagreed and planned of going for an audition and this was when her parents decided to send her abroad. She left just a day after my parents burial.

And as for Peter, we didn’t see much of him. He disappeared right after the helping me with the burial of my parents. A burial my brother and I wasn’t present for because of the pursuers after us.

We always felt he looked and acted different. He never talked about his identity. However, we knew his identity might not be as simple as he said he was.

Nina continued to talk, not even giving me a chance to speak up. I waited patiently for her to finish with her long talk as she would be more angry if I interrupt her.

“Don’t play this silent game with me.” .

I rolled my eyes,. As expected , she would find fault with  whether  I talk or not.

“ how are you too Nina “.

My answer calmed her down a little bit. I then took the opportunity to ask how things were over there.

As the same answer was given, about how she wasn’t enjoying a big about this law thing and she wished she could run.

But her parents had people watching her every move and couldn’t even go to cinemas to watch movies.

I knew her parents would do that. Nina’s intention of being an actress was a shock to her parents especially, her mother. And wasn’t surprised, when she said she wasn’t even allowed to go to cinemas.

She then talked about how a guy named, Timothy, was hitting on her. And how she always felt disgusted, when he trying to play the law guy with her.

I wish this guy  Timothy guy the best, as Nina would definitely find a way to make him leave her alone.

The conversation was changed, as she  asked about how my quest for a job was going so far.

I told her about the requirements all the companies were seeking for. And that I would have to keep trying.

I knew she was avoiding the topic concerning my parents company, and I was grateful for that.

She then said something about a company she had somebody in ,who could help me get a job there.

“Really” I asked hoping it would be true.

“Of course, my cousin works there, and she is one of the managers. And I told  her about you, and she liked you and wants  you to come for an interview next week”.

Goodness, this felt like a dream. Here I was thinking I would never get an employment.

And one came knocking on it’s own.

“Nina, I…” I had tears falling as I wondered what I did in my previous life to have such a friend, who cares about my matters more than I do.

“Don’t you try to thank me. You can try and put a smile on that beautiful face of yours for me. Alright I have other things to attend to. I would sent you the name of the company and how to get there, later after the call. Take care of Ethan and be happy, I would call you later ok, bye”.

She hung up right before I could say another word.

And true to her word, I saw her message right after the ended the call.

I opened and saw the name of the company, DG .

I had a good feeling about this company, as it would be the start of a new beginning for me.
