Skai's POV

I stand fuming with anger with the door opened widely.

He straddles her against the white-tilled wall, restricting her movement. Her buttons are loosened with one of her breasts escaping her bralette. One of his hand covering her mouth and the other one thrusted inside her

His head was buried in her shoulder.

He was taken aback but doesn't show guilt. Well, bullies don't.

She hurried to escape as she arranged herself, still crying. Her bottom lips tremble. She places her left hand on her chest trying to catch her breath. It was like a last hour miracle.

“Is this how you treat the ladies here?" I said , staring at him with disgust.

“Who are you to interfere?”, he blurted

What audacity!

I guess it was me who had the audacity.

“How about you control those balls of yours and stop forcing it under every skirt”, I berated.

With every step, he pushes forward like a hurricane, his belt unlocked. Little does he know. I didn't flinch a bit.

“No one interrupts me, unless you wish to be the next victim. You look sumptuous like a whole meal, I would like to have you” ,licking his lower lip seductively staring at me below his chin.

I smirked and looked at him, you wish.

He tried to touch me seductively. Grabbing his wrist in the air, I twisted his hands as he groaned in pain. Good.

“You're lucky I'm in a good mood, rubbish”, dropping his hands.

I want to shove his perfect face in a sink full of water and hold him there until no more breaths come out.

I matched angrily leaving him dumb founded with my silhouette heels breaking the silence, as I crashed into a rock-hard chest by the restroom door.

.

“Easy, princess”. My breath caught me in my throat as I locked eyes with him. His scent hits my nostrils. He smells of sandalwood. My heart beats fast against my rib cage - Carlo Auder.

I've read a bit about him in the file.

He smirked down at me as I caught his light blue eyes. The two buttons on his short sleeve shirt are undone, revealing the tattoo on his hand, two arrows facing opposite side.He's about 6 '3. Shiny brown hair covering half of his forehead. He has a pointed nose and small lips.

Caution, Skai, caution.

My inner self still knows me as Skai.

I've seen him once.

He might probably be at the door watching, I can't remember catching a glance of anybody on my way here.

“Sorry, I wasn't looking”. My soprano voice came out soft. I've always altered my voice. Change is constant, they say.

“It's fine, princess”. You must be the new girl. He raised an eyebrow as I nodded, moving an inch backward.

The guy from the other time walked out silently from the restroom avoiding eye contact. Bowing in shame, when he saw Carlo threw murderous glares at him. He closes the door behind him.

“Seeing the whole scenario you pulled minutes ago, I must say I admire your confidence”, giving an impressed tone. That gave me chills. I looked up, giving him a plastic smile.

“The guy must have fucked up but a thank you would be nicer”. He didn't take his eyes off me. Consuming is the understatement of the century. He looked like he was eating me alive.

“My bad, I got really upset. That was sexual harassment”. I was happy I could get personal for a minute. He seems nice, getting closer to him would help. A step at a time.

“How were you able to pull that move, do you have fighting skills?”

“No, I enjoy watching wrestling series, just a bit of self defense”. I would have patted myself if I could, that lie came out perfect.

“I would take care of him”. Heaven knows what he'd do to him but he deserves it, anyways.

“Call me Carlo. What's your name?, he said, lifting my head up as he rested his palm on the frame of the door.

“My name is Sophia- Sophia Brown”, looking at him through the strands of my eyelashes.

I tightened my fingers on the strap of my bag as I cleared my throat. “I need to resume work, that needs urgent attention and I'm happy I did. I don't want to receive a query on my first day at work”

There was an edge to my tone as if I don't want an answer.

I scanned my eyes through the corridor to search for the third office on the left side. Not so sure if I'm ahead or behind.

“ Thank you, for saving a clumsy lady, I correct myself. Sorry, Carlo. I should take my leave”

“I have an authority no one questions. I can spend a whole day with you if I wish”, he brags.

Curling my lips into a smile, my level of certainty is close to a hundred that he doesn't hold much power as my mischievous uncle, the devil in human form- Tillard Collin.

He doesn't even know what's coming for him.

I was the victim. Now I will the one to inflict pain, slow and gradually like a poison.

“I'll see you whenever I wish to”, he said releasing me.

I entered the office, there was no one in here. Few files were on the desk as I moved towards it. There was a telephone on the desk with a note “Contact the saved number, when you need help”

I dialled the number, a lady picked up the second ring. She didn't let me talk.

“Office 203, that should be Sophia, right?”

I answered ‘Yes’.

“Okay Sophia,this is the hiring manager. Go through the files on your desk and crosscheck the documents on the system. Kindly inform me when you're done.”

“Okay, does the system have a password”, as expected in an office.

Yes, ‘Michael collins’ with capital ‘M’ and ‘C’. She concluded, terminating the call.

That's my father’s name.

    His breath on my face felt warm, sweat dripping down my face, my hands struggling “Please leave me!!” I yelled, my eyes welling up with tears, my wrists wrangled by his adult arms, his grip gaining control, I could hear my mother’s wailing “Mother” I called out, reaching for her hand. “You are weak, just like your father!” He cackled, the dark figure said, but he wasn’t faceless this time, his scrawny smile pushing my fears forward, his arms pulling me away from my mother’s reach.“Skai!!” I heard my mother scream for me, her eyes welling up with tears “Please she’s all I have” I heard her wail, Tilard, my uncle had no ears but wouldn’t listen as he whisked me away.“You’ll make a fine slut” he said smiling mischievously, the last I heard before it was all pitch black and my own voice. Adjusting my sheets, opening my eyes to see the room still, ragged clothes on the floor, the spilled cans of vidkon beer sprawled on the floor, the cold sweats on my face, I used my hands, trying so

    Skai's POV My bedside alarm beeps jolting me back to life. I push aside the sweaty bed sheets and swing my legs over the side of the mattress. My leg hits the fluffy rug as I stand up wearing my comfy bedroom slippers. I move to the other side of the room, drawing the drapes and opening the window. I peep out of the window to have a view of the lonely street- few cars are moving . Letting the chilling air fill my senses, I breathed in and out. I have been on assignments for the past week, getting used to the environment. I arrange my bed, dusting over the crunchy bit of chips I had at midnight. I cleared my table and tidied up the room. It's now a routine. I moved to the kitchen area to make some sandwiches and tea. Not a fan of coffee. Shoveling the sandwich into my mouth,I leaned against the counter, and checked the time. It's just 6am. Going back to the room, I open the middle part of my desk. Pulling the file out, I took a look at the content. I have an idea of almost
