Chapter 4

A strong pair of hands suddenly dragged her back into the dark, covering her mouth. She couldn't move, she thought she had been caught. Not until she saw those men moving around again, her eyes widened.

If it wasn't them, then who is holding her?

"You might want to calm down till they're gone." A familiar voice whispered to her.

She listened to the person and stayed still till they were gone. Then the person moved his hands from her mouth and released her. He walked ahead of her, they stepped out in the open. She finally saw his face under the moonlight. There was shock evident on her face but she refused to act like it.

"I'm supposed to thank you for this right?" She asked instead of thanking him.

He shook his head, "You still don't want to be humble I see. You're making me feel like helping you was a bad idea."

Raina frowned, "I would have helped myself if you didn't help me. Stop feeling so great."

"Fine then. I guess you know your way out of here. Excuse me." He began walking away.

Raina's pride was hurt a bit. She knows this place is not where she is familiar with, leaving here on her own could lead to meeting those men again. She saw the retreating figure of the man, she suddenly followed him. He stopped noticing she was following him.

"Why are you following me?" He asked her.

She scoffed in pretense, "I wasn't following you. I am only looking for my way out."

"She is stubborn."He thought. She still won't admit or be grateful for the help he rendered her.

"I'm not looking for the way out. You shouldn't follow me, if you need help. You know what to do." He said and continued walking.

Raina closed her eyes and muttered, "Please."

He did not stop walking, he heard her. But he wanted her to ask properly and loud, so he pretended not to hear.

"Please show me the way out." She finally said loud and clear.

He smirked and turned.

"That wasn't hard was it? Follow me."

Raina pictured herself strangling him. She is used to having people bow to her and respect her. Yet this man acts like he doesn't know who she is, he seems so arrogant and that annoys her more.

"That's the road. You should know the way back to your car." He told her as they got to the road.

Raina saw her car at a distance, then she saw someone looking around the car. She recognized the person to be her driver.

"How did you know I came with a car?" She asked him.

"Is that important? I know someone like you wouldn't be at shady places like this without a reason."

At least he said something reasonable, she thought.

"I'll go ahead now. Thank you." She said without looking at him.

He smiled and watched her leave. Very stubborn.

Raina got to the car and met her driver. She didn't say anything else as she got into the other car. The driver drove her home immediately, she was very exhausted. She got out of the car and stormed the mansion. It seems her family already left for bed, though it wasn't so late.

She guessed it is because of the weather, the storm has been threatening to fall all day. And it was getting close enough.

She walked upstairs to her bedroom. She opened the door and was met with a startle. She frowned upon seeing who was in her bedroom.

"Frieda! What are you doing in my bedroom?" She yelled.

Her little sister who was twenty, Freida Williams smirked evily. She wanted to give her sister a scare, since she wasn't around for dinner.

"You didn't come home for dinner. You didn't pick up your calls, I wanted to know why." Freida said.

"Get out of my room Freida. I didn't come home for dinner because I already had it with Carly. Did you have to get into my room to ask me that?"

Freida shrugged, "Mom and dad are worried that you are still working. They had me investigate the matter."

Raina rolled her eyes, "This is just too much. If you do not wish to die, stop coming into my room without my permission."

Freida walked to the door, "My job here is done anyway. I'll be leaving now."

Raina opened the door, "You're not welcome."

She shut the door as soon as Freida left. Freida went to inform her parents then retired to her own room. Instead of helping in the family business like Raina, Freida rather pursued her own dream of being a lawyer. She's one of the company's lawyers, so either way she's still working for the family.

While their younger brother, Sam is still trying to cope with high school. The Williams never thought they would have a male child after Freida until four years later. Sam is expected to keep the Williams bloodline going, as he's the only male child.

Sam is less interested in the family business, he's more into making music.

This leaves Raina alone to shoulder all the responsibility of the family business and her own business. Yet they feel like Raina is only finding a perfect excuse to get away from reality.

Raina walked into the bathroom after pulling off her clothes. She laid down in her tub and closed her eyes. Her mind drifted to the evening's event.

She never expected all that. And that arrogant guy came to help her out even after she insulted him. She thought it's fair enough that he helped her. At least she won't be thinking of dealing with him anymore.

She stayed there and almost fell asleep due to fatigue. She walked out of the bathroom in her bathrobe and fell on the bed. She was very tired and didn't even have time to change her clothes. She fell asleep like that on the bed.

Tomorrow would be another stressful work day.
