I ran out of the bathroom and headed to Brian, running as fast as my feet could go, and almost bumping into other customers. “Brian!” I exclaimed when I saw him and ran up to him. “Calm down, Kitty. What’s wrong?” He held my shoulders. I had to let out a few pants. “The texts, the threatening ones that I had said were from Emily, they aren't from her!”“What? Who is it, then?”“I don’t know!” I exclaimed, my forehead crumpling up. “How did you find out it's not Emily?” How could his vice still sound so regular and calm?“I met Emily after receiving another text, and she admitted that she wasn’t the one.”“Can we trust her?”“She sounded genuine. She didn’t even know about our situation.” My hands were starting to shake, so he held them. “Okay, please calm down. We’ll figure out whoever it is.” “What if we don’t?” “We will, I promise.” He stroked my hair. “Please calm down, okay?” As much as his voice was awfully and annoyingly calm, it made my shoulders relax. “Let’s pay for th
My eyelids kept Fluttering, the horrible stench of cigarettes filling my nostrils. However, my body hadn't come back to live yet to reject the smell. "The dude that bought her is crazy." I heard a deep voice say. "Yeah. I mean…she's kind of worth it. If he hadn't placed that stupid clause, I'd have has my share of that—" "Be quiet already. He bought her, she's off the market. Shut up. This is business, not your personal strippers club." One of them hissed, automatically silencing the other voices. A mass of the cigarette fas swift into my nostril, forcing me jerk back to life, coughing my lungs out. "She's awake!" One of them said. Lifting my head, I caught the vision of four hefty men, each in black tuxedo with a name tag I couldn't quite read from where I sat, tied down to a chair in the middle of a basement that was coated in green, manure-looking substances. Three of the men rose from the raggedy splash they had been sitting on and started walking up to me in slow steps. I
~ BRIAN ~ 'Hey, this is Lyric. I'm probably busy right now, so yeah…leave a voice-mail.' Lyric's voice-mail message announced for the umpteenth time, and I proceeded to leave a voicemail: "Come on, Lyric. It's been a week. I'm getting worried. Where are you? You haven't answered my calls or texts. I'm getting really worried and I don't know who to reach out to. I don't know your roommate or anyone you know. Are you mad at me? Did I do anything wrong? Please just let me know." I sent that and texted her again. Scrolling through past messages, I realized they hadn't been delivered to her. My heart felt tight, awfully tight, as I held onto it. What if she's in danger? Where could she be? Multiple thoughts flooded my head. I rose up and paced around my office, pondering on what to do, then I remembered I was a head of this department and could look at her records. Running back to my chair, I opened the student portal and searched her name. It immediately pulled up her student profil
~ LYRIC ~ My stomach grumbled loudly as i watched the platter of fries and burger elegantly displayed before me. My gaze lifted to the huge bearded man standing in front of me, a frown on his face as he held the tray.“What the hell is it with you? Will you eat already?” He gruffed. My stomach grumbled even louder and I shook my head. “I won’t be poisoned.”“The dude that bought you wants you more than anything. We’d be in huge debt if you die, so why the hell would we poison you?” His eyes were starting to get red because he had been cajoling me for what seemed like thirty minutes now, yet I hadn’t agreed. I wasn’t buying such nonsense stories.“I’d rather die of hunger than eat whatever nonsense you feed me.” I spat, panting.He groaned and dropped the plate on the floor. “This whore has gone crazy. Darn it!”The door to the room was opened and we both watched as Blade walked into the huge bedroom that was adorned with all accessories a woman’s room would need. Blade had made them
I shut my eyes tightly, another scream erupting from my lungs. Another gunshot sounded and I heard Brian groan as a loud thud crashed in front of me. Ny Jody instantly started trembling. My head shaking in refusal. "No, no, no way!" Slowly, I opened my eyes and watched the heavy figure laying dead before me and another scream escaped my lungs. "YOU BASTARDS!" I flinched at the sound of Brian's voice. Glancing beside me, I saw Brian standing and holding his bleeding right forearm. It took a while till my brain processed what had happened. Brian had been shot on the arm and the person paying dead was the one that had shot him, who had now been shot. "Boss, we apologize." The other bobs were now in the room and they fell to their knees, bowing down. "Have you lost your darn minds?" Brain hollered. "Who brought her here?" These hefty men, who seemed like they were not even scared of death, began trembling incessantly. "W-we're sorry, Alpha. We didn't know … we thought…" He hissed
"I'm so sorry for not reporting the incident immediately." Raina apologized for the umpteenth time, daring at me like I was a sick child. "It's okay." "No, it's not. Now you're all skinny and…" her brows curled upwards. "I'm sorry." "I said it's okay." I walked over and pulled her into a hug. "Don’t worry, I promise to eat a lot to get back in my weight range." I chuckled, pulling away. "I'll feed you." "Sure, you can.' I chuckled again. "Alright, Ii need to go to class. I'll be late if I don't leave right now." I announced, hanging my bag over my shoulder and sprinting out. I walked over to my class and glanced at my wrist watch, I realized I was going to be five minutes late, and honestly, I couldn't care that much to run. I hadn't checked my professor list or whatever, so I had no idea what kind of professor I was going to. However, I still couldn't care less. After a while, I arrived at the hall and unlike last semester, I took my sweet time walking up the stairs, making s
With my arms folded across, I watched a shirtless Brian stroll down the stairs in his pajamas and slippers. He glanced at me but looked away immediately I was sitting on the couch like I had been doing for the last three hours since I arrived here..This wasn’t my first time being here, but his annoying silent treatment made me feel like a guest in my boyfriend’s house. Pulling his phone out, he began to speak to someone on a call. “What’s up, son?”He walked to the kitchen, conversing with the person and ignoring me once again. “What's with him??” I frowned. As much as I wanted to be mad, I was hesitant to talk to him because I know I had made him mad. “She did what?” He said loudly. “Dude, why?” He burst into laughter. "Okay, sorry for laughing…. That's sad." He said sarcastically. I waited again and the next thirty minutes passed: an infuriating, boring thirty minutes. “I can’t deal with this.” Jumping to my feet, I went to the kitchen and he was taking out his ingredients with
"Hold on, I can explain. I promise." I said. "Explain what? He's literally standing outside, expecting me to bring you to him. Plus, he looks super mad. What have you done?" She said at once. “I’ve done nothing. Tell him I’m not home and make him leave.” I frowned, my fists clenching. Why would he want to visit me?“YOu sure?’“Yes!” “Then where are you? Why did you lie about where you’re at?”“Can you please just chase Blade, then I’ll.. talk about it.” “OKay…” She trailed off, her tone rang with skepticism. I heard muffled sounds then mumble-like sounds of her conversing with Blade, then she exchanged conversation with Blade.“When will she be back?” I heard him ask. “I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know when she does come back.” She said.“Okay, please let her knowI miss her and love her a lot.” He said and I rolled my eyes. Brian lifted a brow at me, but I shook my head, signaling for him to not bother. After his nonsense cheesy talk, I heard the door shut.Raina yelled, “W
