Stalking Her

As he sat in his car, watching, waiting. He tapped an impatient finger on the wheel in front of him, waiting for her. A sadistic smile spreading on his lips at the though of how much torture he was about to dish. This one will be a good one, he could just feel it.

Silver shook her head at her obviously wrong decision to drive, the entire parking lot was filled and she could just guess how packed the mall would be at this time. She sighed defeatedly, regretting why she had even agreed to meet Elina here. While her best friend was the outgoing, extroverted, and loud between them, she was the complete opposite, shying away from crowds, noise and the lot. Sighing once more she backed her car into the street and parked close to the end of it, grumbling to herself about how she’d have to walk the long distance to and from the mall.

She checked her image in the mirror once before finally exiting her car, locking the doors behind her and tucking her keys into her bag. A sudden chill feeling descended upon her causing a shiver to run up her spine. She felt like she had eyes on her and she turned her eyes quickly to scan the almost empty street. Seeing nothing but a black car parked at the far end of the street. Shaking off the feeling, she takes hurried steps towards the mall, feeling the eyes follow her every movement. She pulls out her phone from her pocket, quickly dialing her best friend.

“Hey babes, where are you?” Came Elina’s loud voice.

“Walking toward the mall, didn’t get a space in the parking lot so I had to park down the street. Could you come out please, so I don’t have to look for you in the large mall.” She said, in a whisper. Turning this way and that, to check if she was been followed, or if she could spot the source of the weird eyes on her.

“Are you okay? You sound weird.” Elina replied, worry slipping into her voice.

“Yeah I’m fine, just stay on the phone with me.”

“Sure honey, I’m standing close to a ridiculous pink car, I mean pink? Who the hell buys a pink car? It probably belongs to a high school cheerleader with a bitchy attitude. Because pink? Omg I can’t deal.” Elina blabbed on the other end.

Silver chuckled lightly, feeling relief wash over her at hearing best friend chatter over her annoyance for the innocent pink car. Turning into the lot of the mall, she spots Elina, right next to the “ridiculous pink car” increasing her stride to reach her best friend sooner.

Elina squealed on seeing Silver walk towards her. Taking the phone off her ear to pull her into a hug laughing loudly.

“Guess what store is on massive sales?” Elina said in a singsong. Grabbing onto Silver’s hand and pulling her along. Silver felt the sensation return to her spine. She walked a little closer to Elina, feeling a little comfort from her best friend. She tried to look around subtly again, hoping she’d find the source of her discomfort, but no such luck, the mall was crowded and everywhere that she look, there seemed to be people hanging around.

“Are you hungry? Have you had breakfast? Let’s go into this diner and have something before we start shopping.” Elina said, unaware of the dilemma Silver seemed to be going through.

“Hi, a table for two?” Asked a young blonde woman, leading them to a table.

“What can I get you?” She asked politely.

“Yeah I’ll have a lemonade please and this one will have coffee.” Elina ordered for them both, knowing how stressed Silver got over making a simple order.

The blonde waitress scribbled their order on her notepad.

“What about food? Do you need sometime to go through the menus?” She asked once again, smiling slightly at them.

“I’ll have a regular burger and fries and she will have a hotdog. Thank you!” Elina smiled a bit too wide for comfort. Silver rolled her eyes at how cheeky her best friend could be.

Suddenly Silver’s attention was drawn to a man that was sitting at a booth on the other side of the diner, his gaze fixated on her and a scowl plastered across his face. His eyes were pitch black, almost staring into her soul and after a few seconds, he slowly shook his head causing Silver to shift in her seat uncomfortably. She couldn’t understand the rage that seemed to be coming off him. Was it directed at her? Who was he? And what did he have to do with her? She cleared her throat awkwardly, dropping her head so she could no longer see him, but after a couple of seconds, she looked up again but the booth was empty. The man was gone.

She raised her glasses over the bridge of her nose, rubbing lightly at her eyes, squinting as she stared over at the booth again. Confusing overwhelming her. She was sure she had seen a man there. Or not? Silver took deep breaths trying to convince herself that she was just tired and hadn’t had a thing to eat, since her last meal the previous day.

“Silver, are you okay?” Elina asked, worry coating her voice, her brows furrowed as she turned around, scanning the diner before turning back to her worry masking her face.

“Oh yeah, I just thought I saw someone. Never mind.” She replied, waving away her worry, as she forced a smile upon her face for Elina’ sake.

“Oh okay, so I got a call from my dad yesterday and he wants me to let you know to be careful, says something about it being unsafe these days, with the troubles brewing left and right. I’m not sure I understand most of what he means but whatever just stay safe, okay?” Elina says, closing her hands on Silver’s smaller one in comfort.

“Of course I will.” She replied, contemplating telling her best friend the happenings of the previous evening with the enigmatic Russian and his crew, and the flash drive that she had found. Knowing her big mouthed best friend though, she decides against it, at least until she can figure out the contents of the drive herself.

“Silver are you even listening to me? What’s wrong, you don’t look okay?” Elina asked, tapping on her hands lightly to get her attention. She realized that she had been letting her eyes wander the diner. Paranoia still overwhelming her.

Taking a sip of her coffee she says. “Yeah I think my blood sugar is just a little low.”

“I’ll go ask how long our food will be. Sit tight.” She replied, Quickly getting up and making her way to the server, causing Silver to sigh once more to herself. Pressing her dainty fingers to her forehead.

She scanned the diner, dropping her head once more when she realized that no one was watching her, the man had seemed so real and all of a sudden, he’d just disappeared, making Silver question her sanity.

However the image of his furious face seemed to take over her mind, replaying again and again, causing the fear in her chest to bubble up once more and run through her veins.

    The Phone Calls Silver and Elina finished their food, making their way out of the diner and back into the mall, holding hands like typical female best friends“Thank you for paying, you didn’t have to.” Silver said quietly to Elina. “Oh come on! It’s my treat, besides I invited you.”Elina replied, in her ever cheerful voice. “Now let’s go shopping! Come on!” She quirked pulling Silver with more force than required. Silver wasn’t difficult to pull in the first place, she was as light as a feather. “I don’t really need anything.” Silver shrugged, chewing on her bottom lip. Elina scoffed in response, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. “You’re a girl honey, you always need something.” She dragged Silver into the nearest store, eyeing up the different clothing, as she traced her fingers along the different dresses, studying them, eyes shining with excitement.“This one here, this is nice. Goes with your sweet brown skin.” Announced Elina, holding up a pretty yellow summer dress,

    Living in FearRodriguez sat in his office, tapping his fingers on the closed MacBook in front of him. He flexed his fingers, the urge to strangle something or someone was overwhelming. Huffing in annoyance he squeezed his eyes shut to try and get his dark urges under control. He had worked tirelessly for the information that he had gotten. Putting his life on the line, betraying alliances; this one he was sure would come back to bite his ass, but having the complete operation had been a sure way to calm them. Knowing that some things had been done for the greater good of all was the only thing that had been needed to restore peace, but he didn’t have that anymore. Things were about to fall apart for him, and he’d be damned if he let that happen. Swiveling in his chair, he faced the floor to ceiling windows. That had been the best addition to his office. Something about being able to watch the world around you without being watched gave him a surge of power. He enjoyed that sort of t

Had it been the flash drive all along? Was it the Russian men after her? The man at the mall, was he a part of their group? She didn’t recognize him as one of the men she had seen a night before though, so maybe he was sent by them?

    Meeting the Mafia DonRodriguez stared at the tiny figure in front of him, and he couldn’t understand for the life of him the conflicting thoughts that ran through his mind. For the last couple of days all that had mattered to him was finding the Drive and torturing the person who had taken it till death.Right now all that will and contempt had gone out the window the moment that he had set his eyes on the girl. He still didn’t have the Drive and that just drove him insane, but Silver had been the last one to be seen with it and he had her, but for some goddamn reason he couldn’t find it in himself to lay a finger on her. Not when she looked so vulnerable, pure and innocent. Instead he stood across the room from where she sat, tied to her chair and watched her sleep.Silver felt the headache first, wincing at the discomfort that came with it. She felt stiff, like she had been sitting in a spot for days. Her entire body burned from the pain. She tried to open her eyes, but it felt dif

    Becoming A Slave“Boss?” Rodriguez was snapped out of his reverie by the sound of Jared’s voice. His second in command had come into his office with some business details that he had to attend to and in the middle of his droning on about how important some of the details were, his mind had slipped back to the young girl, tied in the room downstairs. Silver.He couldn’t get the image of her wobbling lips, shining eyes and her little tongue out of his mind and it drove him mad. He had requested that she be moved from the chair to a more comfortable mattress on the floor and that she be fed twice daily. He wasn’t quite sure about what to do with her, but letting her go wasn’t an option he was considering at all.“That girl Jared, what do you suggest I do to her? She obviously doesn’t have the Drive anymore, do you advice I let her go?” Rodriguez asked his second in command, looking to the younger man with pleading eyes, it almost felt like he was trying to plead with Jared to solve this

There were more than enough maids in the house that took care of a lot of things and all she had to do was present them to him, or clean them. The past one week had been more than awful, and although she had to be serving him, she usually did her best to avoid contact with him, keeping interactions to the barest minimum.She would wait till he left for the office before she would go to clean his room and so on.

    A Friendship With The Slave“Why have you been avoiding me Silver?”Words stuck in Silver’s throat at the question. She didn’t know what to say to him. How would she explain that she had a festering hatred in her heart for him? He took away her freedom, by making her a slave.What else did he expect that she would do? Have tea in the evenings with him, while they discussed business? She shook her head lightly, averting her eyes to her small hands on her lap, twisting them nervously.Even with the fact that Rodriguez had only addressed her with the gentlest of voice that evening, she still felt fear being in his presence. The overwhelming urge to submit to him still wrapped around her threateningly.“I’m sorry.” Was all she could say in a whisper.“What was that?” Rodriguez asked, lifting her chin up with two of his fingers to stare deep into her emerald eyes. Silver’s heart caught in her throat when she saw the raw emotions bared in his eyes, she felt arousal stir deep in her core and

    Suppressing DesiresSilver woke up to the feel of the softest plush against her skin and a familiar scent wafting up her nose. She flipped her eyes open and squealed with joy when they landed on her teddy. He had fulfilled his promise, and had brought her teddy to her. She felt so happy just seeing the old used to be white bear. When did he bring it in and place it in her grasp though?She knew that she had fallen into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of the last couple of days so maybe while she had been asleep, he had slipped it into her hands. She laughed gently at her assumption knowing that it was all false.Rodriguez never stepped a foot in the maid quarters. If he needed anything he sent for it, so he probably had Maria deliver it. Yes, that made more sense.She plopped her plushy against her pillows, smiling at the small beady brown eyes that stared back at her. Her heart had felt a lot lighter that day, and it kept getting better and better. She no longer felt like the worl

    Rodriguez was sat in his office, he held a pen in his hands, slowly popping it in and out. His eyes were on the bookshelf on the right of the office wall, staring but not seeing anything. His gaze drifted back to the sofas that surrounded the small table in the middle of his office and for some reason all he could think about was Silver and all the times she had been in there, she had looked so beautiful that particular day, and her face when she come into his office to speak to Aiden and how much he adored that smile of hers; how soft her hair felt under his fingers…how he just wanted to be able to touch her every day.He missed her, he missed her so much but then she just seemed to have disappeared he had tried everything to get her back, but there were no leads, no clues, except the several holes in the wall which did not exactly tell him much.

    Seducing The Mafia DonStella was parked in front of the mansion once again, she smiled to herself when she realized that this time there was no Silver in her way. She could see the security at the gate come forward to address her. She had not seen this face before in her last couple of trips here. So maybe he was new? That was good for her. The newer ones were always easier to manipulate. She rolled down the glass of her window and smiled at his furrowed eyebrows. “I’m here to see the Don.” she stated simply, flashing her pearly whites at him, causing the man to flush a little at the action. He cleared his throat though, turning back to look at her.“He is not taking any visitors at the moment.” he said. Stella nodded her head in fake understanding, gently wobbling her lips, she looked to the man with puppy dog eyes pulling out the big guns. It was her charm, making men succumb to her and it always worked. Well except when it came to Rodriguez, but she was about to change that. “

    The Story“Let me tell you a quick story Silver.” Jamal began dramatically. Pulling a chair to sit in front of Silver like he had done the last time. Silver spared him a bored expression, turning her head away from him to stare at the other side of the wall. A sign that she wasn’t interested in what he had to say. It did nothing to phase the grey eyed man though, as he merely let out a breath of air before starting. “When I was a boy my father died and I had to move to live with his sister.” He paused letting the few words sink into Silver’s mind. The latter having already turned her head in his direction, finally granting him a listening ear.“Although the death of my father was such a painful ordeal it became better, maybe just a little easier to bear when I moved to be with my cousin. We finally became close friends over the years, we were best friends in fact. Almost inseparable. Then one day after a fight our parents; well his parents, but at this point they were mine as well.

    Meeting The MistressSilver felt a tap on her face. She tried to wake up from her deep slumber, the effect of the drug causing her mind to reel, she moved to sit up when she discovered that she couldn’t move at all. She blinked her eyes rapidly trying to get the black spots dancing in front of her eyes to go away. She tried instead to shift in her spot but she couldn't. There was a large chain attached to her waist that held him down firmly against a concrete bed in the middle of a room. She had been moved, she realized. The metal links were digging into her skin and she could feel the strain of the links against her legs. Her ankles also burned from the chains that had been used in holding her to the bed. It had only been a few minutes of her being awake and there were already tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been here before, this wasn’t new. Not exactly. Although it had been very different being bound on that chair in Rodriguez home but it wasn’t entirely new to her, but

    RageRodriguez was completely beside himself from the moment that he realized that Silver was missing, he couldn’t believe that from right under his nose, the love of his life had been taken away from him. He went into a near mad state trying to comprehend the fact that he had done nothing to protect her, and that had been all he had wanted to do ever since the start of it all, from the moment that he had seen her tied up in that room in his house, all he had wanted was to protect her.She was so much like a child, he didn’t want her to go through this kind of pain, not again. Not when he didn’t know the motive of whoever had taken her or who they were in the first place. He knew that he was responsible for her first kidnap but it didn’t mean that he wanted her to have another one. Not when he had fallen in love with her; that thought scared him. Was he really in love with Silver? At what point did it happen? Why did it take her being kidnapped for him to admit it to himself? Now he

    Kidnapped AgainSilver woke up to severe pains, she felt dizzy and nausea filled her. Her eyes shot open when as the memory of the previous night hit her. She had opened her eyes to an empty bed and the door swung wide open, Rodriguez nowhere to be found, and the ruckus from downstairs drawing her attention. That was not what had woken her though, she had woken up to feel eyes on her, creepy eyes watching her and when she looked a masked man had been standing close to the window watching her, almost as if he had been waiting for her to realize he was in the room, she watched as he moved into the room but before she could react though, a stinging pain shot through her arms, making her go lax and fall into a deep sleep. The dizzy feeling was terribly hard to shake. What kind of drugs had they used on her? She felt like she couldn’t breathe and her entire body ached. “You're awake! Welcome back dear. It’s a pleasure meeting you. Again.” Said a familiar voice one that she thought and h

    FireThe screams seemed so far away and Rodriguez felt like he was stuck in a terrible dream. A horrible, horrible nightmare. He could see everything, feel his body tremble with every passing second as he watched his father being ripped apart in front of him. The blood staining the ground coloring everything red, including his vision. There had been blood everywhere that day and it still haunted him, even now. He knew that he was having a nightmare, but getting out of it was the problem. Somehow all of a sudden, a sound penetrated his dreamlike state, forcefully bringing him from his nightmare. “No!” Rodriguez’s shout pierced through the fog that had filled his brain and his world came back into focus in a flash of light. He had not had a single nightmare for years now. This memory was one that he had kept locked, far away. He looked around frantically, hoping someone would hear him and save him. His eyes caught sight of Silver’s wild curls beside him and the sight helped calm him

    PlanningRodriguez was sat in his office, surrounded by his men. The drama from the last couple of days needed some attention. They had to sort it out in order to not be caught unaware. Aiden’s last words to him had been stuck at the back of his head for the last couple of days and it bothered him more than he could admit. There was a spy in his household? His men knew that the punishment for betrayal was death, it wasn’t something that would ever be taken lightly. So who could be stupid enough to do such a thing and at what cost? He looked round at the faces of the men, perhaps hoping that the spy would wear it on their face, he shook his head slightly at the silly thought. He had only his most trusted men with him at the moment. Bringing the number of them in the room to five. And he hoped with everything that the spy was any of the four men in the space. Taking a deep breath, he finally addressed them. “A lot has happened in the last week and I called you all here so we could th
