"What!"
"Are you happy or sad? Cause I can't understand your expression?" Maggie uttered nonchalantly.
"Ma'am Maggie, you really can't do this to me!" Cassie yelled, with her eyes welled up with tears. Does Ma'am Maggie really hated her that much that he wanted to kill her before her time.
"Why are you so scared of him? He wouldn't do anything to you. Kelly has been serving him for the past 5 years now and he has not even looked at her. Like what kind of man in his right senses will not fall into temptation after seeing an angel and beauty like Kelly." Maggie paused for a while and continued. "Don't misquote me Cassie, our boss is a unique man so he doesn't fall into the category of men who are not in their right senses." Maggie added immediately. The last thing she wants is being fired from her job.
She was right, like why would he notice and ugly duckling like her but still she couldn't take the risk, like why is all this happening to her out of all days, why lord!
"But still, Ma'am Maggie. I'm sure there are other workers who are willing to go and replace Kelly but I can't, please Ma'am Maggie." Cassie uttered in tears, kneeling before Ma'am Maggie, as tears fall from her eyes .
"Well, no one was willing to serve him in the first place except Kelly but since Kelly is not here and you are the only one available now, you have no other choice but to go."
"I also rejected, right? Please Ma'am Maggie. I'll do anything you ask of me but not this." Csssie stated, holding on to Maggie's left leg like her life depended on it, actually it did.
"There's nothing you can do Cassie and It's only for tonight, so stop acting like a crybaby and go serve boss his dinner. Please Cassie, don't ruin this for me." Maggie said firmly and stood up to leave.
"Also, if you ask Jackie to go instead of you, forget about your pay for this month, Cassie and I'm damn serious." Maggie stated and left the terrance without turning back to look at the crying and downcasted Cassie.
Cassie stood up, wiped away her tears and picked up the bucket filled with dirty water and headed to the kitchen with only five words replaying in her mind. "It's only for tonight, Cassie."
***********
Cassie got to the front of Alex's study room. After contemplating for up to thirty minutes whether she should ignore Ma'am Maggie's order and head back home but she knows that she'll be in big trouble of she dared to. She started moving to and fro in front of Alex's study room like a lost puppy.
She was ignorant of what to do, whether she should stay here still here came out or go inside to serve him instead.
After a few minutes of consoling her bad fate Cassie finally decided to go in.
She entered his office after knocking the door for up to 10 minutes but there was no response so she had no other choice but to go in.
Cassie entered into the room, that was surprisingly dark, way too dark. She tried looking for the switch but she couldn't find it.
"Sir Alex?"
"Sir Alex?" Cassie called but there was no response.
She was about to leave when she noticed a painting on the wall, a painting of a girl.
She walked towards the painting, with the tray held tightly to her body. She stood before the painting and couldn't help but admire the amazing art in front of her. It was really out of this world. The girl in the painting was lying on the floor, she had a red gown on which spread through out the painting, the girl physique was so amazing and Cassie couldn't help but be jealous. She was sure that the girl will be so beautiful unfortunately she couldn't see the girl's face since the girl was putting on a mask.
Cassie kept admiring the painting and it was as if the painting was drawing her towards it, she reached out her left hand to touch the painting, when she felt a cold sensation at her back. She doesn't need to be told twice for her to know that she was doomed.
"What are you doing?"
Cassie whole body went into alert mode and the tray in her hand fell down and broke into pieces.
"Ahh!" Cassie screamed with shock written all over her face. She was doomed. How could she be so careless out of all days. How can Ma'am Maggie still send her here after all her pleadings.
Alex walked to his sit, staring at the girl in front of him whose whole body was shivering and he was certain that a slight push will make her collapse.
"I don't repeat myself."
"I....I...clean this." Cassie stutters, her back still facing Alex as she bent down to pick up the broken glasses.
"It looks like someone cast a bad eye on her." Cassie mused sadly, her eyes welled up with tears.
"You still haven't answered my question." Alex stated placing his left leg on his right leg as he watched the girl in front of him like a predator, studying her every movement. Though he was fuming with anger cause she dared you touch his belongings but yet he waa still calm. "Is this what they call, calmness before the storm."
"Sir, I can explain....I was only trying to...." Cassie uttered to be cut off by Alex who was already losing his patience. She was acting way to timid, innocent, shy and naive and it was really pissing him off.
"I'm listening."
Cassie felt lost, for the second time in years. The first time was when her family died in a car accident, that day was when she became hopeless and made to know that there was a thing in this world called pain. She was lost in her thought and didn't notice when one of the broken pieces pierced through her skin which made her hand to bleed.
"Answer me!" Alex yelled, banging his hand on the glass table, he finally lost his cool.
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry." Cassie uttered and ran out of the room with tears in her eyes.Alex stared into space, surprised that a girl was brave enough to leave him hanging. "What a brave little lamb." Alex muttered under his breath as he stared at the painting in front of him."What did you do to her?" Kai, Alex first hand man asked, as he walked in to Alex's study room and as always the guy ignored his existence.Kai sat in front of Alex, who wasn't even sparing him a gaze. He turned around to follow Alex's gaze when he noticed the broken glasses on the floor."Ahh! Oh my gosh, Alex. Don't tell me you were about to hurt a young harmless girl!" Kai exclaimed."That's so bad Alex, so bad. I can't believe you were planning to hurt such a cute little girl." Kai added, acting like a strict mother.Alex decided to turn a deaf ear to Kai's comment, the only person in the world, brave enough to question his decisions."Really, you are going to ignore this cute
Cassie was at the front of Alex's study room with a note in her hand. She moved to and fro in front of Alex's study room with little ginger wagging his tail behind her."Little ginger, should I go in or just drop the note here?" Cassie asked, staring at little ginger for an answer but the cat ignored her question and stood in front of the door instead."Yeah, its a bad idea, for you to have ignored my question. What if he's still angry with me." Cassie answered her question herself.Cassie stood in front of the door, staring at it for a few minutes. She thought if what to do whether she should just go in and maybe luckily for her he might not be in but what if he was still in." Cassie thought which made her sigh tiredly and suddenly an idea appeared in her head."Little ginger, you promised to help me, right? So now is the time for you to keep your promise." Cassie said with a smile on her face and squatted in front of little ginger, gently putting
Cassie walked through the whole street of New york city like a lost puppy. She couldn't believe what she just witnessed. This can't be true, what she saw was just a dream, a nightmare. That was what she wanted to believe but deep down she was finding it hard to digest. Everything, everything she witnessed kept replying in her head and it made her feel disgusting, made her feel helpless and hopeless."Are you planning to kill yourself?" Miguel asked in a cold tone, when he noticed that the girl he saved few minutes ago was planning on killing herselfherself by walking in the middle of the road.Still the words he said, didn't even reach Cassie's ear. She was staggering, shivering and also in shock. She was sad that she couldn't save the young girl. She couldn't believe that she stood there and do nothing! Casaie thought with tears falling from her eyes. Even though she wasn't the one that was raped, she could feel the pain the girl was going through because she was also
Chapter 7-Miguel walked around New York city, with an unconscious girl in his arms. There was a loud thunder followed by a thunder strike. The sky tuned pitch black, announcing to the whole world that it will soon start its heavy attack.Miguel couldn't believe that he was doing this, he has never done this for anyone before. He should have just left her all alone and continue with his own usual business but he couldn't bring himself to do that. She looked so vulnerable and lost, she was so innocent and a part of him wanted to shield her away from this dangerous world, strange right?He got to a particular street after walking for up to thirty minutes with the sleeping beauty still in his hands. He stared at the small building in front him that looked a bit out of place among the tall buildings in the area. He actually find her address in her belongings when she fainted of course and he couldn't probably take her to his house.
Alex kept staring at the letter's content. A small smile on his lips as he read the letter over and over again.He was all alone in the spacious room, after sending Kai. He folded the letter and placed it gently on the table in front of him.He closed his eyes, as he reminisce about everything that happened the other evening. He still couldn't believe that he didn't hurt the girl even though she made him that angry or was it because she was the only person his cat ever paid attention to.He opened his eyes, staring at the picture in front of him, a memory replayed in his mind. It was the same picture she was staring at when he came in. The picture that have been hunting his dreams for the past five years. Alex fisted his knuckles angrily, angry at himself that a mere picture of a woman that might not even be real is capable of making him so helpless.A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Alex sighed frustratedly due to the fact that he was thinkin
Cassie walked to and fro in front of Alex's office. After Kelly informed her that Sir Alex called for her, she headed to his study but in reaching there she couldn't find him. She decided to ask Ma'am Maggie where he was and the woman told her that he was in his room and here she is, thinking of not knocking anytime soon.Cassie stood in front of the door for some time, she was about to knock the door but before she could Romeo came out from the room, wagging his tail as always."Little ginger!" Cassie exclaimed, squatting in front of the cat. She picked up the cat and pulled it into a hug."Little ginger, is Sir Alex in his room?" Cassie asked curiously, staring at the cat for an answer. She was actually scared of going into his room. She has never been into his room before and she doesn't want to make the same mistake she made yesterday night in his study.Little ginger meowed in response and Cassie took that as a yes. Cassie put little ginger down, dus
"Kill her!""No, no please, Alex. You have to listen to me. I.. ""Kill her! " Alex yelled angrily and left the dungeon with a blank expression on his face."Alex, please I'm sorry. Please! " The young girl cried, tears falling from her eyes but that didn't make Alex stop. He kept walking away from the dungeon still her voice became distant."You shouldn't have betrayed him, you know. " Alex left hand man stated, glaring at the girl who looked lifeless yet still beautiful. There was a time he believed that his boss loved her a lot for her beauty and he was right after all. Even though his boss kept her by his side for this long, she shouldn't have thought of betraying him."Please, Xavier. I know he'll listen to you! " Becca uttered hopefully. Even though deep down she knows that he won't listen to her. She knows he won't spare anyone that betrays him but she was only trying to help him. She wa
A long silence filled the entire conference room, as they all waited for their CEO to speak even though deep down they were hoping that he wouldn't and just leave quietly because with the deadly look in his eyes they all know that they are all in a big trouble except if a miracle happens to them of course which they are certain it won't be happening anytime soon."They are all doomed!""We shouldn't have signed a contract with the company against his will.""How could the devil have used them before they realized it.""I'm listening." Alex uttered in a cold tone, which made them all shiver in fear once again. His deadly stare, cold aura and even the coldness exuding from his body was making them tremble and shiver in fear ,they could only hope and pray that he would spare them this time around.If a person actually entered and saw their present situation,the first thing that will pass through the person mind is none other than the devil with his two dar
