Morning. I heard a loud knock on the door. Still half asleep and semi-conscious, I covered my head with a pillow. The knock didn't stop and even with my ears covered, I could still hear it so I gave up and sat up on the bed.I should be mad at whoever is knocking because I hate being disturbed while I sleep and having to cut my sleep short. I hated being woken up; I would rather wake up on my own than have someone do me the favour but this time I had to make a tough decision.This isn't my apartment, this isn't my place, this is Leo's mansion and I have to do as he says. He had told me that I would have to wake up by five to join his security team in training. I lazily dragged my feet to the room door after wrapping the duvet around my chest as if I had slept naked. When I got to the door and opened it, there was no one there so I closed it and went back to get ready.When I got downstairs, the whole place was empty and quiet like it's always been since I came here. I went to the fr
I sat back behind my work desk in my study as I stared at Mae's informatory file in front of me.I had requested for it some days after I let Mae go back to Omar but hadn't completely read it. I kept on postponing it because I was busy but I finally made time for it.Before opening the file, I pulled on one of the two drawers beneath my desk and got out a red mini box. In the box was the second ring to the one I was wearing on my middle finger already. I took it out of the box and rubbed on the letter 'Y' written on its golden square head before slipping my index finger through it.Together with the one I had in before, they read 'DY'. The letters were the initials for the name of the man who once owned this mansion and this study I sat in. I had bought the mansion and every goddamn thing in it including the rings I had on my fingers.“MAE YROTE.AGE: TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD.FAMILIES: NONE LIVING.JOB: WORKS AS ONE OF THE JUNIOR AGENT AT THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AGENCY, CITY N DISTRIC
Mae was initially being stubborn to take her birthday shoot with her doll but my mother had to plead with her to let her(my mother) hold the doll while she took her pictures.She finally agreed after a while of begging from some of the other nannies too but she didn't give the doll to any of them, rather she tossed it to one of the chairs around.Her picture was taken and she left as soon as the photographers confirmed that they didn't need any more shots. She left without the doll so I went and picked it up, running after her with it."Hey," I called out when I was close enough for her to hear me. She stopped and turned around to see who was calling for her attention but when she saw that it was me, she continued walking.I hurried to her and stopped her from taking any other step after I held her arm to have her listen to me."Ewww! Don't touch me!" She snarled at me and I let go of her immediately."Hi, I'm...""I know who you are. Aren't you daddy's shoe-shiner boy?""Yeah. Uhm, I
"I remember informing you of how I want her improved in two weeks time. What made you think that someone with low tactical intelligence as herself needed a free day from her two weeks of training?" I heard Leo scold the man and insult me too in the process so I raised my head from facing the ground to look at him."But sir..." "From now on, she is no longer going to train under him or be a part of group C," Leo referred to the commander."She'll become your responsibility. You will train no one else but her. She will not sleep tonight and you also won't. Keep her busy through the night, am I clear?"What? I should voice out my one-word question but now didn't seem like a good time to question Leo's order."Okay sir," Commander B2 nodded with his hands behind his back. He didn't look happy about Leo's order, his face could tell but I guess he had no option but to obey Leo's order like me.Leo screened me with his eyes one more time before leaving. As soon as he left, I felt at ease but
Late evening.It was starting to get darker now. I stood with my hands akimbo and watched almost all the men leave the field through the gate. Rhea was one of the last few to leave."See you tomorrow, Mae." She smiled at me when she was about to leave but stopped."Hopefully." Hopefully? What did she mean hopefully?"K4! Come over here!" I heard the commander but looked behind me to see who he was calling out to before eventually realizing I was K4.I jogged over to where he sat. He was on his phone for the next five minutes while I stood in front of him. The field was empty as everyone had now left and it was just me and him.Soon, darkness took over the field and some bright lights automatically came on and took over the place. I became tired of standing and watching him use his phone so I decided to remind him of my presence."Uhm...are we going to begin the training anytime soon?" I asked him and watched as he slowly took his eyes off the phone to look at me.He had a dull face. H
I went to him and no words were said. Pete just started In a direction and I followed. Maybe this is the day Leo finally killed me.We stopped outside a door and Pete gave two knocks before opening the door. He went inside and I knew I had to follow but I just stood behind, worried and scared to face Leo. He did what I requested; he helped my friend Nina out of my mess but I couldn't even train like he wanted me to.A few seconds later, Pete was back at the door. He held it open for me, signaling me to go in. I exhaled sharply and walked into the room.I had thought I would be brought to Leo's chamber like before it wasn't. I knew this place. I knew where I was, I'd been here before and before wasn't too long ago. It was Leo's bedroom. I was in Leo's bedroom. It was the same place he pinned me down to his bed and forced me to confess that I was with the FIA.Just like I expected, the commander was there. He, Pete, Leo, and a woman in a nightwear was present. Leo was shirtless and sitt
I signaled Pete to lean in so I could whisper to him."If she takes the gun from you, I'll kill you." I felt the need to warn Pete. Although I knew Mae couldn't match up to him, she had surprised me when she once took down three of my men at a time at my auction site.Pete raised the gun and waved it for her to come at him...Mae made her effort with with a quick attack on him but gladly he held her by the neck to stop her. I could have asked her to do this with anyone else but I wanted her little ass to be defeated quickly and out of my room so I asked Pete to do it. I knew how easy it would be for him to put her in place.I wondered if she wasn't going to at least try to free her neck of Pete's hold because her face started to redden. I almost had to ask Pete to let go of her since the point I wanted her to see was already visible but he beat me to it and threw her to the ground. She landed with a thud and I watched to see if she would get up because that was enough to keep her stil
"Prepare a car for me, Pete." Leo left an order with Pete before getting up from where he sat by the edge of the bed.Pete did as he was told and now I was sitting in the back of a car with Leo and he(Pete) was driving.It was past midnight and I didn't know where I was being driven to. I was cold so I gnashed my teeth and rubbed my palms against each other. I was gnashing my teeth when Leo turned to me so I stopped.The car got to the front of a beautiful house, a mansion actually but not as big as the one Leo stayed in. Pete got out of the car and went to the gate. Soon I saw a man come out and start to open the gates while Pete returned to us in the car.He got back in and drove the car through the gate. Leo had a scary smile on. It just made me worried for myself with every passing second.He got out of the car with Pete but I didn't. I just sat back and prayed for my safety. Goodness knows why I was brought here. My eyes were still closed with prayers for the earth I came from wh
