I choked on my saliva and began to cough, Mr. Lance's hand came to rest on my back as he rubbed my back,

“Calm down, calm down,”

Calm down? Can I be calm? I have now been tagged a murderer for something that he clearly did!

Oh God! What do I do now?

“Relax, I got you,” he said to me as if he was reading my thoughts and I threw his hands off me.

“Isn't this what you want? For me to be the one in danger while you go Scot free” I yelled, my hands clenched on both sides.

“Never my darling J. How can I wish that for you? I'd rather rot in jail than see you go through the process” he sounded really serious unlike before. I don't even know what to think of this man again.

“Just relax!”

“And do what?!?” I screamed in anger and he hissed,

“No need to panic”

The elevator opened, and we were coming out when I saw the security men making their way towards me. I grabbed Mr. Lance's hand, my eyes shut tightly as I followed right beside him. I don't want to be arrested for something I didn'

    I closed the door and rested on it. My thoughts were filled with all that Mr. Lance had just said. Oh God! What did he have on me? “Are you okay, J?” Anna asked and I snapped my eyes to look at her, “Hehe, I'm fine, I'm good,” I replied before heading towards the bathroom. “I thought you won't come back till midnight,” She said and I smiled because that was the plan. I planned to go straight to the club after the visit to the hospital, except that someone had come to pick me up, not asking where I was going next, he dropped me there. “I just needed to freshen up first,” I replied before entering the bathroom. After freshening up, I made my way out of the house and went to the club“Red, did you visit the girls?” Boss Austin asked. He was standing with some other ladies whom I didn't know. “Huh, yes,” I answered, “Who are they?” “The new dancers. We can't wait for them to recover, the business waits for no one,” he replied and I nodded.“Sure”“Can you interview them? And also

    I didn't know when I blurted the words out of my mouth but I was so pissed to see the girl with him. I wasn't supposed to care, it's none of my business so I turned away. Even though I was feeling a different feeling around my chest area. Trying to concentrate on my dance moves, I turned away. The crowd was screaming for me but my eyes kept moving to Mr. Lance's side of the club. “Fuck!” I yelled, but not as loud as the music. Why wasn't he pushing her away? Why would he allow her to dance for him? I thought he said I was his personal stripper. What's he doing with another? The feeling of having her with him wasn't making me feel comfortable, I wasn't even dancing very well anymore so I made my way down from the stage. “Hey, what's your name?” I asked her and she replied, “Hailey”“Hailey, go dance with that customer,” I pointed at another man and Hailey was obediently going to leave when Mr. Lance said, “I prefer she says with me. I'll pay double,” Hailey's eyes twinkled while

    “Us” she boldly repeated.I didn't know what to say, I couldn't stop blinking my eyes at her. Was she serious? She does both men and women?“Why are you surprised? I don't discriminate, I do both genders,” What the fuck!I didn't know if I hid my irritation well enough as I walked away from her. She kept screaming at me but I didn't even respond. I could see her man looking at me as I walked away and I shook my head in disgust. Fuck! Knowing that my cousin was of both genders only irritated me to my very core. What the hell? I'll have to check up on Anna, I hope she has never played towards my sister. Fuck! I have to leave that motherfucking house as soon as possible. “I don't discriminate. I do both genders. Both genders my foot! The audacity!”It was in anger that I left the stage and went back to the dressing room. I didn't bother to say a word to Melinda, she's crazy. I thought she was crazy before but now, I knew she needed mental attention as soon as possible. There was no

    “A playground?” I asked the obvious when we got to the field. Was he serious? A playground? “Yes, do you like it?” He asked. I looked from the playground to the man who was asking me such a question. Why would Mr. Lance bring me to a playground? “What are we doing here?” I asked, confusion written all over my face. “To brighten your mood. You aren't in a good mood, right?” I paused, not knowing what to say. How did he get to find out that I loved the playground? Was he spying on me? That's not possible even because I can't remember the last time I went to the playground for fun.It was my favorite place when I was little till I lost my parents and I had to take care of Anna all by myself, meaning I had to grow up quickly.It's been so long, years even so how did he know that I loved the playground?When he saw that I wasn't going to respond to his question, he pulled me to a swing and made me sit on it. My fingers wrapped around the iron handles as I sat on it. My heart swells wit

    Lance's POV“It's your sister, she's refusing to eat,” Justin, my beta said over the phone. I sighed as my fingers went to my forehead to massage it. “Hand the phone over,” I ordered. The phone was given to Daphne but I knew I wouldn't be able to hear her speak. I had promised her that I would come in a week, it's more than that now and she was getting worried. “Daphne, hey girl, why aren't you eating?” I asked. Knowing that she wouldn't reply to my question, I continued, “You promise you I'll be back soon, right? And I will. I'm getting a friend for you. When she comes, you'll love her. Can you please eat? I don't want you starving yourself,” I waited for something, anything for her to do for me to know she was going to do as I had said. “She's left,” Justin's voice was heard through the phone. “Follow her,” I ordered and he did so. After some minutes, I heard him sigh in relief. “She's eating now,” I also sighed. I needed to hurry up and go back to the pack. I hate to leave

    Maria J's POVI blinked my eyes open slowly, looking around, I found myself in my room. I tried to get up only to hold my head with both my hands and fell back on the bed. Anna had already left for school because she wasn't in the room. Checking the time, it was 9 am already. I gritted my teeth, how the hell did I wake up late again today? I was about to stand up again when I recalled the event that happened last night.“Fuck!” I jumped on my feet. What then happened? How come I'm in my room?Where is he? Mr. Lance? Did the Becker come? How the hell did I end up in my room and also without any broken bones? Last night, I was so sure I'd either die or break a lot of bones. How am I here, alive and strong? What happened?Questions filled my heart and I was in need of an answer when my phone rang, “Hello?” I answered the call. It was Sofia. “Where are you? Don't tell me you aren't coming to work today too?” I furrowed my brows, why does she care? Was it because she really cared or

    I stepped into the restaurant through the back door which was hardly open. All thanks to Sofia, she came to open the door for me. I made my way to the dressing room. I was changing into my uniform when someone barged in, “James!” I screamed. The idiot whistled. “Why the fuck do you walk in here all the time without knocking?!” I yelled “Because I'm willing to take the risk as I want to see what's behind the clothes,” he replied with an irritating smirk that I wanted to slap off his face. I quickly put on my shirt as I had already worn my skirt. His eyes were fixed on my chest as I buttoned up. “Asshole” I swore at him. “Whatever you say,” he replied. There was a pause before he said,“You know I'll get to see you anyway. I've seen them both, Sofia is on fire…” he licked his lips. Sofia had slept with him. I can't help but feel disgusted at the boy. I thought we were friends but gosh…not with James. It made me recall Mr Lance's words where he said not all my colleagues were my f

    “And what can I do for you, James?” I asked, my arms folded. “There's a little something for you at the back of the restaurant” he replied. I narrowed my eyes at him before saying, “I'm sorry, I don't have the time to go back and look at whatever is going on at the back of the restaurant,” With that, I began to walk away from him “Maria J!” He yelled but I waved my hand at him as I walked away, “Sorry, James, but I'm not interested,” James kept tailing me, he didn't think I knew but I did and I was preparing to give him the beating of his life with that wood by the side of the bench at the bus stop.I was almost close to the bus stop when the screech of a car made me snap my head to look towards my left.“Holy fuck!” I exclaimed in shock, moving backward in speed. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who the fuck it was, Mr Lance of course. I stood there with my hands folded, “Hello my dear,” he came down from the car and walked towards me with his hands inside his pockets.“M

    Lance POV From beyond, my nose picked up J’s unmistakable scent, my heart pounding with a mix of hope and dread. I picked up my pace, but came to a halt when my nose picked up another scent, mine. Wary once more, I picked up my pace, quieter this time, and looked towards the source. Beyond the trees was what looked like a cave. I had no doubt J was there. I glanced behind him and beside the cave, but I couldn’t pick up any scent apart from ours. This wasn’t going to work. J could be at risk currently while I was waiting on a ghost. I left the comfort of the trees and dashed into the cave. There she was, lying motionless on the ground…“J?” I shouted, my heart dropping when she didn’t respond.I rushed to her side and growled in fury when I noticed that her hands and legs had been tied to the stone. Desperately, I placed a finger under her nose and on her wrist and finally breathed again when I noticed that she was still breathing. Her pulse also sounded strong. Just unconscious then
