Malinda POV.
"We have to leave Malinda, come with me," Russeli whispered to me, as he held my hands.It was late at night and we were in a big mansion, a mansion owned by my boss, the man I love was right beside me in the room that has only a thin window with the moonlight coming through."No Russeli, I can't go with you." I protest, I know running away was not the right thing, it doesn't always end well for me, this was something I was sure of and I felt uneasy even if this was the only way I could be with him."Trust me, Malinda." His blue eyes were staring right at mine, his eyes hold the emotion that I couldn't explain. "Please, we have to leave before the guards and my father finds us."He was right, we had to leave, we have to hurry, but still, how far can we go before they discover us, I was already in tears as I shook my head profusely."Russeli, though we love each other, I can't leave with you, please understand, I am just an orphan and...and." My lips quiver, all this was my fault. "I can't fend for myself that's why I am working here as a maid."Russeli could see my tears and I know it breaks his heart, he held my shoulder and made me look up at him. "I don't like how you and I can't be together, I hate to keep our relationship a secret, I hate that my father rejected you, I can't bear to see you hurt like this.""Come with me, we can flee, we can go far away, to a place where we are free to do and be whatever we want, a place where we can live each other and be a couple." He held my hands and gave a gentle squeeze. "A place where we don't have to be afraid, Malinda.""Russeli.." I look into his eyes, even if my vision was blurred with tears, was this the right thing to do? The question echo in my head."Trust me.." I heard his voice again and a part of me wants to stay back, but the part of me who loves the man and will go miles away with me was stronger."Okay." I nod and he pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my forehead. "Thank you, thank you." He said with joy in his voice, the tune of his voice was so happy that it seems like I had just accepted a marriage proposal."We have to leave and we have to leave now." He told me and held my hands in a tight grip. "Let's go."We both ran out of the room, surprisingly the guards that were standing there didn't notice us, it all happened quickly and we left the mansion.Russeli opened the car door and we both got in, but not unnoticed, a guard had spotted us and raised an alarm. Russeli started the car In haste and stepped on it, speeding off past the gate before they could close it.Soon we were on the highway, Russeli still driving with speed, I looked a the side mirror and I could see some cars behind us, following ours with the same speed.This was a car chase, one of those deadly ones I do see on TV. Tears pool in my eyes as I looked at Russeli. "What do we do, they are after us."Everything that was happening was making me sad, why does love have to be this way?"We would be out of sight very soon," Russeli assured me and accelerated. He held my hands with his free hands, while the other was at the steering wheel.His hands were warm, giving me comfort within my soul. "I love you, Malinda." He turns his eyes to look at me. "And I will protect you."I looked at his handsome face, he was the most handsome man I had ever laid eyes on, through luck he had come across my path."I love you, Russel," I said softly and he looked at me with the cutest smile on his handsome face, at this moment it felt so perfect like there was peace around us and no car chase, just us enjoying a joyful ride, I flashed him a smile too.But all hell broke loose when we turned to face the road a big truck came crashing on our car and glass shattered as our car flew in the air like we were in a spin ball.The first land of the car, then the second and the third it stills, piece of glass with blood everywhere, I looked at Russeli and his eyes were on me.We were both choking on our blood as we reach our hands to touch each other, but to no avail, before my eyes, Russeli closed his eyes and soon after mine did, then blackout!Three months ago.Malinda POV.My name is Malinda Kristen, I am an orphan, I lost my parents at the age of six in a car accident, and I was sent to an orphanage home since I had no other relative to take care of me.When I turned twenty years, I know I had to leave the orphanage home in search of a job, I need a job so that I can assist the children in the orphanage home who had become my sisters and brother.Luckily I found a job as a maid at a very wealthy man's mansion, I did not qualify whatsoever to find a proper job, so I decided to work here since the pay was worth it.My duty was to serve my boss his tea, do some laundry and a few other duties, it wasn't so stressful since I do all this when I lived at the orphanage.Today I was doing my normal duty, I was serving Mr Gilbert in his study room when the door fling open, I lift my eyes to see who it was since I know that no one was allowed in here and there was no one in this mansion apart from Mr
Gilbert Ryan and Malcolm Horace were in Gilbert office at the company discussing. Mr Gilbert Ryan had a renowned music producing company and their company were planning on their Russeli's sixth album that will be produced in two weeks."The decision has not been made yet," Gilbert told Malcolm. Malcolm was in a joint partnership with Gilbert and is the next acting director in charge of the production."By next week we would oversee the outcome," Malcolm said flipping pages of the file he had in his front."Last year production hit the base, a worldwide nation got the song, and there were over two billion people who listened, bought and downloaded it," Gilbert said proudly with a smile on his lips."Yes, that was a big hit, your son was something...very talented, but I must say this, he lacked emotions," Malcolm told him, hitting home where it hurts and Gilbert stopped smiling."I know. I am trying to set a date for him since it might help him." He paused. "I
Malcolm Horace Mansion. Malcolm sat down with his daughter Yvonne in their living room that looked like some classy hotel. Yvonne is a young beautiful lady, she had clear eyes, flawless skin and a pretty good shape. She looked at her father who had just called her in to talk with her. She lifts her glass of wine and took a sip, it was obvious that she was a classy lady, just by her appearance. She put down the glass cup and leans on one hand to get a better look at her father. "Did you have something to say to me?" "Yes." Malcolm put down his glass, the expression on her father's face made her curious. "What is it?" She asked, giving him full attention and waiting for him to continue. Malcolm cleared his throat and hesitated before speaking. "I am setting a date for you, I would like you to meet someone." Yvonne furrowed her brow and sat up. "Someone?" She raised her brow as he nods. "Dad why would you do that?" Setting up a date with a stranger she has no idea of was absurd. "It is
Damsel Restaurant.Yvonne sat down at a reserved table, waiting for the date her father had set for her, classical music was playing in the background and there were only a few people there concentrating on their meal.She glanced down at her watch and sip her red wine, she had been here for close to an hour now, but he was not still here, the people she had met in the past, no one dares to keep her this long. She sips her wine again, her eyes watching the entrance at everyone that enter the door.She heard the glass door open and there the person she had been expecting, dressed in a grey top and black plain trousers, looking handsome and dazzling, her crush, the man she drools over his pictures every time she looks at it, he was stunning.Russeli Walsh POV.I smile when I saw the lady I was going to meet, one other victim I will have to break her heart, she was looking at me with a parted lips, I was sure she was admiring me, I love dressing up for my date,
Malinda POVI sat down on her desk in the maid room at my bosses house, he had given me a place to stay, even if it was thin, it was still comfortable and plain, a small bed, a desk and a chair, besides it is a little wardrobe, walls are colourful and the whole room smell nice.I was rewriting my boss' son's note. It was difficult to see the part which I spilt water on, but I know I have to finish this up and hand it over to him if I want to keep my job, and whereas I want to stay out of his sight.I heard my phone ring and I saw the caller ID, with a smile I answered, put the phone to my ear, I heard the little voice of a girl I cherish, someone I call my little sister and love. "Hello Annabel, how are you?""I am fine, auntie Malinda and you?" She asked with a little c
Russeli's POV.After she left the hall, I thought it was my moment of victory as I leaned back to the chair, but the whispers I heard in my back made me stop smiling, many eyes were on me and I am sure that they must have recognised me.Girls are just so troublesome, I.wish I had made her leave in a less crowded place, I stood up and went after her.Outside the hall, I saw her walking away. "Yvonne, Yvonne!" I called out but she didn't stop so I ran to her and held her hands.She halts and turns to me in anger. "Why, why are you after me?" She asked me and I sighed in my heart, I had only come after her because I couldn't bear the stare I received inside and she would have just not spoken it out loud that I was using her."Th
Russell POVI opened my eyes and closed them immediately because of the bright light that came in through my window. I turned around and sat up. It was seven in the morning and I was supposed to meet my dad to talk to him today.I quickly got up from bed and saw the cup of water the maid brought, it was still untouched which made me wonder how I happened to fall asleep last night.I could not see the bottle of white wine I took last night, but I know I drank some alcohol, I can't remember what happened last night, I don't like drinking, I hate drinking for what it does to me.I rub my head softly and walk into the bathroom, I turn on the shower and stood on it for a long time, still trying to remember what I did last night, I knew I was angry since she told me she
Russell POVI sat down on the chair in the living room with my legs crossed as I wait for the maid to be out at the sitting with my note, since I had nothing to do today and I was not in the mood to go to one of those boring dates my father do set for me, I decided to have a little bit of fun.I heard a soft footstep behind me and I knew she was the one like the house had only I and her inside. "Sit down." I pointed at the chair at my front when I knew she was close to me enough to hear."Huh!" The words I said surprised her and I looked up to see her face, raising the corner of my brow. She quickly looked at her foot and I smirked, she was one shy little maid. "I am not...""I know you're not supposed to sit down here." I interrupted her before she could finish. "But, s
Four years laterIn between four years, Mr Gilbert who had gained success and a lot of enemies along the way became more greedy and terminated the joint contract he had with Mr Malcolm.Mr Gilbert began dropping directors who had been working with him for years now because he was scared his company would be taken away since he didn't know who his enemies were and had no friends.Most other directors saw his aim and greed and withdrew their shares and not less than a month his company started falling apart and staff seeing that the company was going to run into bankruptcy soon had to resign.Meanwhile, Mr Malcolm starts up his own music company after the betrayal of Mr Gilbert and he attracts investors and his company grew while Mr Gilbert's dropped, all the investors rej
Natasha pov"You see, If I loved you, I wouldn't have done this round-up kiss with them, '' he chuckled and then held another one's thigh letting his hands slide through her pant line and I heard the lady loud moan and I couldn't bear to watch anymore.I got up in tears and took the glass of beer he was drinking and I wasted it on his face, tossing the glass away. "If this is the method you want to use in sending me away, then know that you took it so far and you took it all the wrong way."I closed my eyes and tears filled my eyes. "I don't know your reason for doing all these, but, if you have decided to live your life this way then you can go on."I wipe off my tears and then look into his eyes that were staring at mine. "I truly love you and I can't let you live your
RusselliI drove to Dominic's apartment and let myself in, I was in tears as I walked over to Dominic who was about to take a huge bite on a hamburger."I broke up with her." These were the first words I said and I watched Dominic put down the hamburger and look at me like I had said the most ridiculous thing ever."You broke up with whom?" Dominic shook his head as if what he just asked was useless. "You broke up with Natasha... I mean to say, Malinda!" His pupils enlarged and his brows snapped. "Why would you do that?" He wipes off his hands and gets up from the chair."That's because I am a coward," I closed my eyes and felt something warm roll down my cheek. "I can't protect her," I placed my hands on my hair and slowly sat down on the floor like a lost soul. "I can'
RusselliI took Malinda to the beach, it was a place I had to happen to discover and it was peaceful and quiet, only the sound of the wave and water could be heard, I sat down with her as we watched the wave, her head was on my shoulders and we were quiet like we had a lot of things to think inside our head before letting them out.She was wearing a yellow beach dress, maybe because I told her I would be taking her here. She had come up with this outfit that makes it hard for me to look away from her. Her hair was blown backwards by the light breeze and it made her face more adorable to look at. She wore light makeup and her lips were picky and plump and I felt the urge to kiss her lips, but this was not why I brought her here."I am really happy to be here with you Russeli." A broad smile spread through her face, s
The stage room was set in an Oran company, fans were crowded in the hall and the world was waiting for this show that had long been announced, this music show that would change many lives and dreams, a piece of music that would be sung by the most popular female musician in the world.I looked over at Russeli who was standing by my side with a black jacket and a black trouser, his hair was curled up bringing out the beautiful shape of his face and his straight nose, his eyes glitter with glint and like the stars the shines in the sky as he stares back at me.I was wearing a golden dress that stopped at my feet, a straight line running down from my thigh exposing part of my legs and the golden heels I wore, the top side of the dress was glittering and exposing part of my upper boobs. My hair was left to fall perfectly behind my back and the bottom was trimmed ne
"Should I fight back?" I asked in a whisper holding back the tears that filled my eyes. "Why would I when that person is your father?" I was also considering him, no matter what Gilbert had done he was still the father of the man I love."Can't you just fight my father and not look at me? I am okay with it, Malinda." He looked tormented and I know that I could fall apart if I continue this conversation."I can't, so please let me do this," I said seriously and turned to Sinead who was behind me. "Let's go, Sinead before I break down here." I turned around without another glance at Russell and walked off with tears in my eyes, this was something I should do and leave karma to do the rest.I sat down by my window staring at the birds that were flying cheerfully in the sky and it makes me wonder if they also go through
NatashaHe looked at me sharply as his eyes darkened and his jaw clenched. "My company..." He said in a domineering voice. "You will increase its status and you will make me number one. Why? Because love makes people weak."He leans back to his chair. "If you want to fight back you should come when you are fully prepared." All I could feel was sorrow and hate, this man would never change, what was I expecting when I made my way to this place.Tears filled my eyes but I refused to let him see me cry, I was falling apart. "You have sold your soul to the devil Gilbert Ryan, but one day you shall understand what you have done when there is no one by your side, you shall wake up and find that everyone has turned their back on you and you would be left alone to reap all you have sowed."
I got into my father's study room and there he was seated like a real gentleman, just like an honourable man, but with a dark heart, so dark that no light could outshine it."Is this how far you would go?" I asked immediately if he looked up at me. "Is this how far you would go in your ambition to acquire wealth? Going as far as killing your son just to get what you want.""What are you talking about?" He closed the document in his front and leaned back to his chair."You know what I am fucking talking about!" I barked as I looked at the emotionless man."Russeli, I know you are angry at me, but you need to calm down and let me understand what you are saying?" I chuckled as tears rolled down my eyes.How can someone be this c
Russelli.I received a call from an unregistered number, I wanted not to pick up but out of curiosity I did and it was Gavin, the man who had held Natasha's waist, the man who she had told me was the reason she was who she was today.That daring man!He asked me to meet him and I reluctantly went. We sat down at a wine bar and had a glaring competition before I finally spoke up seeing that he wasn't saying anything."Why did you call me out?" I lean back to my chair and try to act as nonchalant as I do, he seems calm with nothing to give away, so this was the American man that helped my Malinda Kristen."What do you think of me?" His questions surprised me since it was only the ladies I expected to hear these words from. "I m
