2024-10-29 19:42:56Still feeling absolutely flustered, Cassie began to walk back to Felix’s office taking her time so that she could compose herself before she got back to the office. She would probably have to bleach her eyes to get the image of the fucking duo out of her brain. She, along with everyone else that had attended the meeting held on her first day of work, knew that Luther and Emerald were not-so-secretly fucking. Still, it was one thing to know about the office romance, another thing to witness it happening first hand and yet another thing to be invited to partake in the debauchery. When she had first been aware of Luther and Emerald’s sexual escapades, she had no idea that Luther was married. Most men his age were usually married but when it became obvious that he was sleeping with Emerald, she had unconsciously conditioned her mind to believe that he was a single man. The fact that he had the audacity to cheat on his wife, while she was not only in the same building but just a few feet

After she left Tech Town, Cassie took the train to the nearest locksmith, which was unfortunately located all the way across the city. She placed the dog carrier on her lap all throughout the train ride and got a lot of curious and disgusted glances from the people beside her. She didn’t blame them. If people weren’t so keen on minding their business, they would have had a lot of questions for her. How did she let the dog get so dirty? Why was she using such a huge padlock on such a small carrier? Was it just their imagination, or did the dog’s collar look a little too tight? Did she know that the dog carrier was stinking up the train?When she got to her destination, she was quick to hop off the train and begin her search for the locksmith. Locke’s Locks located across a busy intersection and wedged between a thrift store and a diner. It looked out of place between the other two buildings as both the thrift store and diner channeled a dainty aesthetic vibe that Cassie found odd

Happiness doesn't last forever. Cassie was soon reminded of this fact the next day. She was heading back home from Books-A-Plenty where she had gone to drop off the white jumpsuits for Amanda to amend. Soon after the twins had left for school, she poured Snowflake a bowl of water and some turkey flavored kibble that she had purchased after her shift at the Bean House. Then, she tossed Bethany’s pantsuit, still faintly smelling of the spilled Chardonnay, into the washing machine. Once it was clean and dry, she tried using a YouTube tutorial to take in the bust for Isabel but after accidentally stabbing her finger with the sewing needle multiple times, she concluded that sewing wasn’t her forte. After getting blood out of the outfit, she headed over to Books-A-Plenty and handed the pantsuit over to Amanda who was the only person she knew that could amend it. Once Amanda learnt that it was to be Isabel's, she was also glad to drop what she was doing to focus on it. She liked the i

It had taken almost two hours for Cassie to finish working on Bethany’s nails. Just as Bethany had said, she had come prepared with a handbag full of everything that Cassie needed to use for the mani-pedi; from the foot bath right down a pack of numerous colors of nail polish. Cassie started by removing the old layer of nail polish on Bethany’s hands and feet.Next she had proceeded to let Bethany’s feet soak in the foot bath. To get water for this procedure, Cassie had resorted to making multiple trips across the office, from the water dispenser to Bethany’s side, as she filled the foot bath with water she carried in a small plastic cup. She had explained to Bethany that she would be a lot more efficient if she stepped out of the office to look for a larger cup or better still, if she dragged the foot spa closer to the water dispenser, but Bethany, hell bent on making someone suffer, would hear nothing of it. By the time Cassie was done, the water that the internet recommended should

“I just don't understand how a person can be so terrible.” Cassie muttered when her and Rose finally pulled away from their hug. “I’m only here shopping for fruit because she wants me to make her a fruit salad from scratch because the other fruit salad that I bought from a vegan restaurant cut their kiwis to smaller wedges.” Rose sighed. “Bethany was raised in a wealthy home. Her mother was a housewife who spoiled her silly and her father was mostly absent in her upbringing. While she was still in high school, her mother died and her father discovered just how much his wife had spoiled their only child. She was terrible to their domestic staff and anyone else that wasn't in the same social status as she. As any good father would, he tried correcting her bad attitude but Bethany had already made up her mind to be the worst human being in the world.”Cassie nodded. Of course it made sense that Bethany was just a spoiled rich kid who had grown up to be a spoiled rich adult. “And by exte

Wednesday morning rolled around too quickly in Cassie’s opinion. She had spent the previous day completely in Bethany’s service and as a result, had been one of the last people to leave Tech Town the previous night. As Bethany fished Cassie’s phone from within the valley between her breasts, she had informed Cassie that she expected her to be at work the next morning and would not tolerate lateness. As Bethany had handed Cassie her phone, she couldn’t help but feel like a mischievous high school student getting her phone back after a teacher had confiscated it because she had been using it while in class.Cassie was making breakfast for herself and the twins when she heard a knock at the door. She had already started to wipe her wet hands on pajama shorts when Snowflake, who had been lying down at her feet waiting for a slice of bacon to drop from the frying pan, shot up and ran out of the kitchen. She stood at the door with her tail wagging excitedly at the prospect of hav

Cassie read and then re-read her friend’s text multiple times. Was Isabel actually serious about coming to meet her at work? She tried calling Isabel but it went straight to the factory default voicemail. Anyone with access to the internet could find Tech Town’s address but Cassie didn’t know the company’s policy about visitors. The only person that had dropped by at the office was Sapphire and even she had done that through unconventional means as she had run past Annalisa at the reception to get to Felix’s office. Would she have to meet Isabel at the reception or outside the company’s doors? Or would she be allowed to see her friend with the confines of Felix’s office?She was pulled out of her contemplation when the office phone on Felix’s desk began to ring. It was probably the first time since Felix had left that the phone had rung so thinking it was him, she dashed over and picked up the receiver.“Good morning. You have reached the office of Felix Callahan.

To Isabel’s credit, she didn’t immediately yank her hand away from Daniel’s grasp after he had kissed it. She stared at him even after the elevator’s doors slid open at his floor and he stared back at her, still enthralled by her very presence.“Well, I guess this is goodbye.” Daniel said as he stepped out of the elevator. “Isabel, I hope to see you again sometime.”Isabel stared blankly at him so Cassie nudged her so she could give a response. All the same, she opened her mouth to give him a reply but nothing came out of it. In the end, the elevator’s doors closed and the two friends continued their journey upstairs without Isabel saying anything to Daniel. Immediately the doors closed, Cassie burst into a bout of hysterical laughter.“It’s not funny.” Isabel hissed.“Oh, I beg to differ. It was funny.” Cassie said, as she struggled to stop laughing. “He was absolutely smitten by you.”“He’ll forget all about ever meeting me by the end o

Both Cassie and Isabel turned around suddenly at the sound of the voice, with Cassie spinning around so abruptly that she accidentally knocked over the bottle of vinegar.“Shit!” She hissed, as she scrambled to prop the bottle back to an upright position. By the time the bottle was upstanding again, more than half of its contents had already spilled on the ground. She then started to soak up the spilt vinegar with her napkin before it spread any further and possibly ruined the flooring.“You shouldn’t swear.” Bethany cautioned hypocritically. “It’s absolutely unladylike.”Isabel raised a brow and Cassie had to bite her tongue to prevent herself from reminding Bethany of how often she swore. If swearing was a feature that made someone ‘absolutely unladylike’, then Bethany was undoubtedly, the least ladylike woman Cassie knew. Hadn’t she been the one that had said ‘fuck’ just a few seconds ago?The napkin that Cassie had been using to wipe the spilt

"Good morning. I’m Dorothea Sinclair and welcome to today’s session of Under the Spotlight. I am sure that some of you are wondering where I am today and why this background looks different. That’s because, for this interview, I left the studio to conduct this interview in the home of our guest who is no stranger to the spotlight.” Dorothea announced. “Some of you might know her from September last year when she and her best friend, Isabel Gomez, were held hostage by two gunmen who kidnapped them from the club they both worked in. Some of you might also know her from her interview with me on this very show in March where we talked about her revolutionary app, Care Compass which was, and still is, making waves in the medical field. However, some of you might know her from everything that went down two months ago when she was kidnapped from a supermarket and held hostage for a week. Join me to welcome, the very beautiful and very intelligent, Cassie Peters.” She said and signaled to th

The first time Cassie had woken up as a captive, she had thought that that would be the most pain she would ever be in. She remembered how much her head hurt and how she had ached all over. Waking up again, she found that she felt a thousand times worse. She owed the shitty feeling in her entire body to Robert fucking Smith. After she had been caught trying to escape, he dragged her by her hair to the very room that she had escaped from. She had tried to struggle against him but her muscles ached from running around the house and anytime she made any form of movement against him, Robert would pause along the hallway to deliver a series of kicks to her midriff.When they had finally got to the room, he had exerted the second phase of his revenge by reopening the cuts that had been made on her arm earlier that week and adding a couple of new ones with the help of his switchblade. He followed it by wrapping his gangly fingers around her neck and choking her, letting his nails dig into he

When Felix finally awoke, he did so slowly, his vision blurry and his head heavy. Even as he was still half unconscious, he realized that he recognized the environment that he was in. It was all strangely familiar but yet, unsettlingly transformed. He was in a room in the Callahan mansion and judging from the size and layout of the room, he was in his old bedroom. The decor of the room had changed drastically since the last time he had been in the room. All of the posters of superheroes and bands had been taken down and replaced with modern art pieces. The color of the walls had been changed from a baby blue color to a dark gray one. His bedside table which had been formerly crowded with action figures and school books now spotted manila folders, stationery and a small potted cacti.The more Felix observed the room, the more it looked to him like someone had been staying there for a while. The hardwood floors had a few scuff marks on them at the points where the room’s furniture was.

Felix stumbled over the phone as he clumsily tried to pick up the phone. “Cassie. Are you hurt? Do you know where you are?” Felix asked, each word tumbling out of his mouth quicker than a response could possibly be given.He pulled his laptop closer to himself and hurriedly started to launch the software that he had been working on ever since the night of Cassie’s disappearance. He had already set his phone so that whenever Cassie's phone came online, he would be able to track it. It had a lot of flaws but it was the best he could come up with in such short time. He couldn’t just download a regular cell phone locator off the internet to locate Cassie’s phone as she had built a series of safeguards for her phone to ensure that it was heavily guarded. She had everything on it apart from a proper password; it was both ironic and amusing. He had tried launching the app multiple times but the search always came up blank, indicating that her phone had been switched off. Now, it showed that

She startled herself awake the next morning. There was no way for her to tell if anyone had entered the room while she was asleep. As she pulled herself from the ground, she decided that anytime she was going to fall asleep, she would do so with her back to the door so that if anyone were to try to enter the room, she would know. Throughout the entire day, she anxiously waited for someone to open the door but no one did. By the time it was evening, she got into the shower and had her bath again, this time putting on her clean and dry underwear, washing her dress and then hanging it close to the radiator so that it would dry faster. It was already dark out when the dress was dry enough for her to wear and when she left the bathroom, she found another cup of ramen and a bottle of water.She had started to worry that there was a camera in the room that Robert used to determine when she was in the bathroom to come and drop her food. Before she could think about it too much, she realized t

By Cassie’s calculations, she had been Robert’s captive for six days.When she had realized that it had been him that had taken her, she had had a lot of questions, some of which she hadn’t been able to answer. Since when had he gotten out of prison? Was he working in conjunction with Big Daddy? Had he also been a part of her house being set on fire and Isabel getting shot? Would he also be going after Felix and the twins later? Where exactly was this house that he had taken her to?She still found it bizarre that he had had a hand in her kidnapping as she had forgotten all about him after she and Isabel had testified against him in court. She chided herself for not seeing it coming. His exact words to her as they had carted him into the squad car on the day of his arrest had been: I’ll get you for this you stupid bitch! That day, she had thought that his words were just an empty threat of a mad man; she had never expected him to make good on it.Judging by the fact that it had been d

In the week that Cassie had been gone, Felix had felt as if his heart had been violently ripped out from his chest, severely stomped on and then set aflame. When he had gotten home that dark and gloomy Saturday night, he had called Amanda and Isabel to inform them of what had happened. They had both in their own way panicked, but had still managed to assure him that Cassie was fine and would turn up before the next morning. Amanda had volunteered to keep the twins until the next morning so that they wouldn’t bombard him with questions about the whereabouts of their sister. In the end, Felix had had to find a way to break it to them as Cassie had still been missing by the next morning. There had been a lot of tears and visible confusion and it had taken him ages but he had finally managed to calm them down.When he had met with police officers later that week to try to figure out what had happened that night, he found that although they managed to garner some information, it was mostly

Cassie felt as if her head had been shattered into thousands of pieces by a sledgehammer, hastily put back together with hot glue and then a band of tiny people had started to use it as a venue for a rock metal concert. She felt worse than that time in her freshman year of uni when she had attended a series of parties nonstop for an entire week, drinking everything that was handed to her and dancing to every song that the DJ had played. The thing was, this time, she hadn’t been partying. In fact, she had just been… What exactly had she been doing?Cassie tried hard to recall what she had been doing before, straining her brain and ignoring the headache that intensified in her attempt to remember. Her memory came back to her in slow flashes. Riding the Ferris wheel with Felix. Being presented with a stuffed bear. Running in the rain and seeking shelter in a supermarket. Felix let go of her hand so that she could go and get a carton of milk. Try as much as she might, that was where her m

Felix steadied himself against a nearby shelf as he took quick, successive breaths. Cassie was fine. She had to be fine. He started to circle the supermarket again, searching for her amongst the multitude of shoppers. When he didn’t see her, he did it a third time. And then a fourth time. But there was still no sign of Cassie anywhere. If it were Eliza that had disappeared, his first instinct would have been that she was trying to play a cruel prank on him. But Cassie didn’t play pranks. And if she was playing one at the moment by hiding from him, she would have popped out sometime during his first search around the supermarket.He headed back to the check-out section, cutting into the queue and ignoring the people on it who complained and cursed as he shoved past them to get to the front of the line. “Have you seen my girlfriend?”Emily looked at him stunned. “No. You came to the counter without her. I remember that you mentioned her, but I never saw her. Is everything okay?” She ask
