I suddenly went cold, my body was trembling.I moved back a bit. He stepped out of the elevator with a big smile on his face. I wanted to run away, I wanted to hide but my body was unresponsive. "Hello Rachel." He greeted.I swallowed hard, unable to respond to him. As always, he was handsomely dressed. He was wearing a beige, buttonless shirt bloused over brown chinos and brown Chelsea boots.He stared down at the package. On seeing the broken mugs, he sighed."If I am responsible for this, then I am sorry. How much did it cost?""Don't worry, I can get another." I responded, unable to hear my own voice."If I broke something, I will fix it...", he stuffed his hand into his pocket, taking out a bundle of $100 bill, wrapped with a band."... take it.""I can't. You can keep your money." I wanted to walk out on him, but he was blocking my path. The elevator moved up."Are you refusing to take money from me?" He asked, with a frown on his face.I looked away from him. I can't let him
What the hell does he want now?.I stuffed my phone back into the purse."Who was that?" Zoe asked."Nobody of importance. Someone must have mistakenly dialed the wrong number.""Oh. Alright." She said, strolling to the counter.I stood behind her as she placed her orders, pointing at the Coca-Cola bottles neatly arranged in the cooling machine behind the lady.My phone rang again. I grunted, quickly taking out my phone. It was Jake again. I swiped to receive the call,"What?!""You ain't picking your calls." He said at the other end of the line.I glance to see Zoe was still busy, discussing with the cashier.I quickly moved away from that spot, pretending to be shopping for other things."What is it, Jake?! I thought I sent you a message some hours ago!!""What's the time?" His voice sounded calm and controlled.I checked my wristwatch."12:34.""Good... ten blocks away from the store you in, there is an Aston Martin Vulcan waiting for you in the alley. Get in it and driv
"Jake?! What the hell?!! How dare you kidnap me?!!!. Do you know who the fuck I am?!"Jake crouched in front of him. He took out a cigarette from his breast pocket, lighting it slowly."Ha Eddy. You are such a sneaky crook. You sent people to investigate me. Tell me, why did you do such a thing?"The man scowled at him."I only did that to gather more infos about you. There is something fishy about you and...""And that's why you had them following me around. You did that without my consent and that's invasion of privacy Eddy.""Listen to me, Jake. Kidnapping me, was the Jake placed the cigarette on his lips biggest mistake you've ever made! My men will hunt you down and then kill you!!",dragging in smoke."Do you smoke?"Eddy went mute, tightly pressing his lips together as his eyes darted angrily at him.Jake puffed out the smoke slowly on his face, Eddy began coughing."I like this brand. Very healthy tobacco and not too strong. About your men..." the blonde haired huge g
♠️RYAN♠️ I promised myself that I wouldn’t want to see her get hurt. I said I was going to protect her. She will definitely know who I truly am someday. She’s still the smart little kid I greatly loved and cherished.In as much as I wanted her to be scared of me, she wasn’t. That daring look in her eyes when we spoke in the car. That optimistic confidence in her words. How long will it be before she learns the truth?I stared at the coke I arranged on the table, ready to sniff it. I had already sniffed a handful before now and my head was hurting.Fuck! I shouldn’t be doing this. I already gave up on this kind of life. Sniffing coke wasn’t my style except during times of distress, I take it to feel good.The evening was chilly and my apartment was silent. Though I have a mansion I got for myself downtown, I preferred staying here to just be alone. The rest of the boys occupied the mansion, to keep it running. This was my fortress of solitude and in here, I spent my alone time.Now s
.... I drove in the Aston Martin Vulcan. This time, I drove within the speed limit. Heads turned, staring at the car as I drove which made me feel a little bit proud.The windows were heavily tinted now as it was switched to night mode, so no one could see who was inside.I got to the hotel, wearing a pajamas bum shorts and a tank top inside my satin night robe. I scuttled into the building, walking briskly to the front desk. The receptionist sat in her chair, she was making a call.“Hello ma’am...” I said. She glanced at me, dropping the telephone.“... room 515,I am here to see the occupant.”“Let me make a call to the room at first, ma’am. You can have a seat over there.”“No, please don’t. It’s actually a surprise visit. He is my brother and I heard he is sick.”She gave me a puzzled look.“But we don’t just let people in without informing the occupant.”“Pleeease...” I quickly took out $200 from wallet,“... here, take it. Just see that as a friendly tip.”She sighed, collecting t
♠️Ryan♠️|The Next Day| 4:31... I snapped my eyes open, quickly sitting up on the bed. I groaned, placing a hand on my forehead. What happened last night? Why is my head still swimming and I feel so relaxed? I turned to the side to see someone was sleeping there. Then it hits me.Rachel...!She was here last night and we... I...I slowly moved the sheets away from her body. She was curled up in her sleep, wearing torn clothes and I could see blood stains on the bed. Fuck! I quietly got out of the bed. Picking up the towel on the floor. How did she get here?!Why was she here?!!.I smacked my forehead, walking to the wardrobe. I quietly opened it, taking out my clothes. I pulled them on, glancing at the bed to be sure she wasn’t awake.Who told her to come find me here?.Anna?... I sighed. That incompetent bitch of a secretary.I closed the wardrobe, wearing my sneakers immediately. When I was done, I walked to the bed, staring down at Rachel’s face. I could see her cheek was red, l
“... if you like some of it, why don’t you pick your choice and leave the remaining to me.”She raised her neatly drawn brows at me.“Ah... no ma’am. I could never... touch the things that was meant for Mr Jake’s girlfriend?! No way. I am too young to die, please.”When she said Mr Jake’s girlfriend, I choked on my own saliva. Girlfriend?!!!“You must be mistaken, I...”“Ah,Ah,AAhh. Mr Jake never lies, pretty. Even if he does, he is saying the truth. When he wired me an awful lot of money, he said you were his woman and I should pick the best. ET VOILA!!...” she gestured at the clothes,“... aren’t I the best personal shopper?” She asked, beaming with smiles.My face brightened as I wanted to laugh. She’s really funny and high spirited. I am guessing she knows a lot about Jake.“Yes you are.”She clapped happily at herself.“Okay. I got you painkillers and oh... you need to leave the bed and clean up.”I moved out of the bed. My legs were wobbly and my body felt achy. I walked to the
••••🍀RACHEL🍀 I felt uncomfortable having him carry me to his car. When I checked, it was a white Mercedes Benz Maybach Exelero and it was in the latest edition.I was literally stunned.This guy...How much is he even worth?.Firstly, it was the Aston Martin, now, this car. It should be around $8.5m . Like WTF! Who the FUCK is this guy?.I held on to him tightly. I have never felt this kinda way before, having a man carry me. It was a bit awkward and terrifying.He opened the car, carefully placing me into it.He closed the door, moving round to sit in the driver’s side.He turned on the engine, the air conditioning unit blasting chilled air immediately.“How are you feeling?”, he asked.My fingers fidgeting, I stroked my hair gently. Staring in front of me and avoiding any form of eye contact with him.“Rachel...?” He held my hand,“... about last night, I...”“It is fine. Don’t worry about explaining things to me.” I said, cutting him off.“But... but I need to let you
