Ah Mark~If only she could ever forget about the man of her dreams. To be frank, she wouldn't even be able to feed if it weren't for him, the very day he offered to help her, was when she gave him her heart. "Oh cheer up Leia, Suzy said as she landed a slap on her back. As irritated as she was by Suzy's slap, she couldn't deny that she felt a bit better with that hit, although it was painful that she couldn't help but stare angrily at Suzy. "Hey Margret, perhaps we should set her up with someone, I mean look at her, she needs to get herself a man," Suzy said. Margret stared at Leia from head to toe, rubbing her cheek as she pondered into thoughts. "You're right, it's about time she finds herself a man, Leia you need someone to rely on," she agreed. "No ladies, I already have my mind set on one man," Leia laughed nervously as her cheeks blushed. The girls couldn't control their laughter anymore from Leia's reaction. Embarrassed she was but that wasn't enough to stop her reacti
With each contact with Leia's skin, Suzy could feel how fast her heart would beat. Her anxiety becomes more of a distraction than Leia moving. Her fingers drummed as she grinned. "Hey!" Suzy scolded her with anger. Leia flinched, "good lord Suzy, you almost gave me a heart attack," she complained as she placed her palm on her chest. "I would appreciate it if you didn't move because I'm trying to do magic here," Suzy responded with a stern face. For a second Leia felt insulted, she could feel how pissed Suzy was, and the reason was quite obvious. "My bad, just do your thing."Leia sat erect as she jiggled her body to warm up. With a deep breath out, Suzy rolled her eyes at the drama queen before she got back to work. After twenty minutes of hard work, Suzy smiled, her smile stretched that it was impossible to hide her joy at her creation and she grinned wickedly at the display of her masterpiece. "Can I see how I look now?" An overly anxious Leia asked as she stared intensivel
She stood still, her face red, all her insecurities finally caught up to her as she began to contemplate her outfit. "Would you want me to keep holding out my hand?" He asked a flustered Leia. Immediately she jumped back to reality. "I'm coming sir," she apologized as she quickened her steps. "I had no idea you played," she laughed as she drew near. Her heart could hardly stay in one place as she sat next to the man she had yearned for not so long ago. Nothing felt real to her and yet it was, "It sounds so beautiful," the chatterbox continued much to Mark's amusement. "I had to take many side jobs to fend for myself, college isn't all roses you know," he answered. Leia stopped for a second to look at him, although he had said it with ease she could see the pain in his eyes. Everything about Mark reeked of money and yet there he was explaining to her that he had to fend for himself. "What happened to you," was her next curious question, if only she could dare to open her mou
The streets are crowded when Leia steps out of her dorm building. She quickly dodges the throngs of people before heading to the spot where her client was waiting.When she reaches the correct street she pulls out her phone to look at the address to make sure."This is Brownstone Street," Leia mutters to herself as she checks her map. She walks into the alley by the Street before Lifting her head and looking around the empty alley. She spots a black sedan car at the mouth of the alley and quickly jogs over there. The tinted windows immediately roll down at her approach and a pale hand thrusts out a packet at her.Leia quirks her brow before taking the packet."That's your target." A voice says from the car. She leaves through the papers within the packet, noting down the description, age and workplace of her Target. Her employer quickly briefs her on the target's likes, dislikes, music preferences and favourite food as well as information on his late wife. The client also hands he
Leia pauses at his shout. 'What does he want this time?' she thinks with a frown. This is starting to annoy her and with a sigh, she turns around and faces the stranger once more."What do you want?" She knows she sounds rude but she can't help it. The mission was a complete disaster and the day is almost over but she still hasn't seen a hint of her target.The man doesn't seem phased by her attitude and continues speaking."I think I can help you." She lifts a sardonic brow."Oh? Help me with what?." She asks in a dry tone. He rolls his eyes at her attitude but still has that infuriating smile on his face."Well if you're interested I can get you a job here." He says and smirks at the way her face brightens up."Really?!." She practically squeals. He winces at her pitch but keeps smiling."Yeah. I know the owner. I can put in a good word for you.""Oh, God. Thank you, you have no idea what that means to me!." She whips out her phone and pushes it into his hands."Give me your number
"Please!." Leia outright begs the person behind the desk.The recipient of her pleas is none other than the bank Manager but the other woman just shakes her head while adjusting her wire-rim glasses.She levels Leia with a professional look that causes the younger woman to imperceptibly straighten her spine. She can tell that the bank Manager is not someone to be trifled with."I'm sorry miss. We can't help you.""But I promise to pay you back before the year's over. I'll even pay sooner! Just help me." She tries to plead again.It's been two days since she was rejected by the student finance office and Leia had decided to try her luck in an actual bank. Although paying back the loan would be more expensive and the interest rate higher, she was willing to do anything to get the money for her tuition. However, it was turning out to be a complete waste of time as the woman rebuffed her pleas once more."Miss Leia, you don't have any of the qualifications needed to request a loan." She
Mark hangs up the call after receiving the confirmation that he needed. He puts his phone back into his pocket before beckoning to the shadow hiding in the alleyway.The shadow revealed to be a tall man in a crisp black suit and a tan waistcoat. The man gently took the umbrella from Mark's hand and held it above both of their heads.The two men were still facing in the direction Leia had run towards. "If I may be so bold sir, why are you doing this?." The man asks in a reserved tone.Mark hums, stroking a finger across his chin in a contemplating manner before locking eyes with the grey ones of his chauffeur."Well Ivan, it's really simple. Leia could do so much more with the right kind of motivation. But she's too soft now. If I threw her in with the wolves she would be eaten alive. I for one think she'd be more useful to us after she experiences a bit of pain. I need her to use that pain to hurt a particular person." He says with a bright smile"Of course sir." That is all the man
Perhaps it was from that moment that she took him as her saviour. The man who showed up as her knight in shining armour, her adoration for him went through the roof. …Present time… Her tears seems to have dried off before she knew it. She sits before her mirror staring at her soulless self. In just a short period she has lost everything and keeps if only she didn't try to be greedy, perhaps those around her wouldn't be too unfortunate. With no one to blame for her actions, she breathes deeply. Grabbing a few things she heads straight to the bathroom, frowning towards Mark's camera as if to warn him. As soon as she closes the door, she reaches for the shower and lets it run freely, and with nothing but a towel she mounts the corner of the bathtub and reaches up to the ceiling pushing upwards. With a creak, the ceiling starts to elevate revealing an opening and Leia stretches her hand inside towards the left, grabbing her phone and closing back the opening. With a sigh of
