Author's point of view... It was nine in the evening. Izzy got out of the elevator, her eyes red. She wiped her tears away and cleaned her face before going to the manager to get off duty. Just before entering the manager's cabin, Izzy clenched her fist on her skirt and took a deep breath. "I must not tell anyone what happened in the elevator..." "I can't afford to lose this job..." She wants this job at any cost. She accepted this daily-paying work when Lissa contacted her early in the morning to let her know that her father's medical payments were overdue. Strengthening her resolve, she extended her hand and knocked on the door. "Get in..." the cold voice of the manager rang from inside. Izzy stepped in with her head hung and stood before the manager. "Sir, I completed the task, can I go home now?" But before the trembling girl completed her words, a file came flying through the air and hit her forehead. "You useless thing." the manager barked. "Just take it
Author's point of view... Collecting herself, Izzy knew her destiny. She had to go to him. She had to face whatever was waiting for her. She trembled at the thought of what that man would do to her. His eyes were filled with lust. And he also knew everything about her. What else could she think of? Standing before the Chairman's cabin on the topmost floor, Izzy hesitated. Her phone vibrated again, dragging her out of the trance. She will be defiled today. Stepping in was just like stepping inside an inferno to her. She heaved a sigh at her helplessness and knocked on the door. "Get in" The cold voice of a man reverberated from inside. Hanging her head down with shame and reluctance, Izzy opened the door and stepped in. The room was dimly lit, giving it an aura of a devil's lair indeed. There at the centre of the room was a huge desk and behind it was a chair, swinging. Izzy stood frozen. Though the temperature in the room was maintained to be normal, her ent
Author's point of view... Robert's expression clouded, as though the atmosphere had grown ominous. Izzy stopped her struggle and looked at his face. Her heart leapt into her mouth, and her heart was audibly mulling within her chest. His silent stare made her eyes open wide, her face turned pale, and she could feel the bile rising in her throat. She was having trouble breathing and felt nauseous, her heart hammering in her chest and making her doubt that she would survive. "Everything that I do is appropriate..." he stated in his husky voice as his deep brown eyes glared at her innocent face, trailing from her beautiful eyes to her luring red lips. Izzy quivered in his arms. He walked towards a door at the corner of the office. "Where ...where are you taking me?" Izzy couldn't stay still anymore. She asked him immediately. However, there wasn't any answer. That entrance led to another room inside the office. With all the necessary furniture, the room was spacious and opulent
Author's point of view... Robert stayed silent for a while looking at her quivering lips. Izzy was in his arms and her heart was thumping like a drum. She felt uneasy as his strong fingers wrapped her waist. "Sir, I...I..." she stuttered but froze suddenly as her phone rang. "Sir, I need to take the call" she tried to free herself sliding her hand into her bag to take out her mobile. Robert let her go. Izzy's beautiful face contorted as she saw the name flashing on the screen. "Mom..." before she could say anything, the voice on the other side bombarded a series of unpleasant curses. "You unfilal bitch...! How could you do that to your father? He treated you so well. But look at you...you can't even pay his hospital bills. Did I ask you to die for him... You can't even do such a simple thing..." Izzy immediately reduced the sound of her mobile and looked at Robert if he had heard anything. But luckily Robert was busy typing something in his phone. Izzy took a breath of
It just pays twenty bucks for a day. By now, she had amassed one hundred and eighty bucks. She needs that twenty bucks to cover the first part of her father's hospital bill which is almost five hundred dollars. Though she still needed to make the three hundred dollars, she could at least petition the hospital administration for an extension of time to pay with the little money she had. This was the end of her patience. Just as she was beginning to feel she could actually live a better life, everything shattered again. Robert studied the open display of despair unfolding in front of him, a sense of delight lighting up his eyes. He sneered and said, "You want money..." she looked up and nodded. "Work for me..." he said and Izzy felt her whole body break into a cold sweat. He pulled her face closer to him, just an inch away from his lips. "Please me and I will pay you" Izzy quivered. Her eyes turned red. "Aren't you good at that?" he sneered. Izzy was furious. What th
Author's point of view... Fear and panic were swelling inside her whenever she thought of her father and she didn't know what to do now. If this man wanted to harm her family, there was no way she could save them anyway. She had exhausted all her options. Her heart beat furiously in her chest. In that panic, she could no longer feel the pain in her foot or her cheek, all her mind was filled with the fear that something might happen to her father. She whispered, her voice trembling, "If I accept this. Will you save my father?" Robert studied her face for a long time. Eventually, he seemed to decide he could get her any time. He smirked. Izzy sighed in defeat. This man before her is way too dangerous and powerful than she imagined. In just a few minutes, he managed to dig out all her information and even made her father suffer. She can't let this man go ahead with this. She didn't have the money she needed yet, and she certainly didn't want to spend the rest of her life
Author's point of view... "Sign this!" he demanded. She took the paper from him and began to flip it. At first, she thought it was some kind of contract or something but as she saw it, her brows creased. It was blank. Izzy was horrified. She started to feel faint and sick again. This is so unfair! she thought despondently. How could he make her sign a blank paper? When she regained consciousness, she shook her head vehemently. "No..." she said defiantly. "It's a blank paper. I will never agree to sign that." He gave a brief sneer before his eyes became icy once more. "Do you have any objection?" he asked in his ever-cold tone. Izzy couldn't think of anything to say. She was exhausted and she felt she could no longer fight him. He looked at her with a contemptuous smile, pulled out that piece of paper from her hands and stared at it. "Do you want me to write something on it? Maybe I can help you to write" Izzy stared at him, what did he mean? What will he write?
Author's point of view... Lissa and Claudia were waiting in the hospital lobby after the hospital authority had sent someone to inform them that they would have to stop the treatment if the due bills were not cleared tonight. Claudia received a call and went to attend it."Are you crazy? Why did you call me now?" she hushed through gritted teeth, her anger and frustration evident."Hey, darling, don't worry. I just missed you. This little doggy is making a ruckus here. Did you find that thing?" the man on the other side asked gleefully. Dave was tied to a chair before him, struggling hard to free himself."Not yet, keep your mouth shut, don't call me from now on. I will contact you once I get that thing and you can kill that doggy if you want by then" Claudia heaved a sigh and walked in towards the corridor. It wasn't an hour when some men in black uniforms stormed into the hospital lobby. Both the ladies stood frozen, their eyes wide with shock and confusion as the guards swi
