He said and that got really angry. "How does it concern you?!" I shot back glaring at him, I don't think he could see me though, the room was really dark.
Everywhere might be dark but I could feel his cold glare. Unbelievable.
"Let go of me you scumbag!" I screamed at him, that only made him tightened his grip. He is a psychopath.
"I would let go of you, if you leave this place right now." He said. I scoffed.
"This isn't right, you can't just go around ordering me, who do you think you are?" I asked him. He didn't bother to answer me, he just tucked his hand in his trouser pocket.
The nerves.
I huffed turning around, but he grabbed me, turning me around to look at him. I got so angry and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.
I wish I had a camera with me, you needed to see his face, he crotched down holding his you know. I took the time to sprint out of the room.
But what have I just done, I was running back to where my daughter was when I saw three guys on suit, they wore eye glasses with ear monitor, they were huge.
Before I knew it, they already grabbed me by my arm, I was floating on air.
Oh god, what have I got my self into? "Let go of me! You motherfuckers! Let go of me!" I screamed at them, thrashing. But they didn't even bulge.
"Somebody help! Please!" I was trying to get out of their hold. Soon we reached the back exist, they were taking me out of the club!
"No please, I have a child in there!"
They ignored me, ugh! I saw a black car, it looked really expensive.
Now is not the time to talk about expensive things!
The car pulled in front if us, they dragged me inside.
Two men by my sides, I was scared and furious at the same time, I grabbed the man by my left hand side by the hair.
Hitting him and pulling his hair. "Are you trying to kidnap me, you scumbag! How dare you." I grabbed his hair so tight that he was screaming.
Then I focused on the other one doing the same to him, I wanted to push him and see if the door would open, then I would run.
But you see my friends, luck was not on my side, as I saw someone putting a chemical inside a white handkerchief, he placed it on my nose. I tried to remove his hand, digging my nails into it.
Soon I blacked out.
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
I smiled. It felt like I was in heaven, the place was so soft and it smells heavenly.
Where was i?
I yawned stretching my body, my eyes still closed, I opened my eyes slowly. Then I saw him, he sat down on a armchair looking rather amused.
Then I remembered everything.
"You!" I pointed at him.
He thinks this is funny. He dropped the newspaper on his hand and stalk towards me.
"Yes, me." He said trying to be intimidating.
I quickly stood up and placed my hands on my waist glaring, I wanted him to know that I wasn't going to be intimidated by him.
"What am I doing here? And where is my daughter?!" I asked him giving a cold glare, if looks could kill, I'm sure he would be dead by now.
"Don't worry about her, she's fine." He said.
There was no way I was going to believe him. As if he read my mind. "Believe me, you think I would harm a child?"
I blinked three times, I don't know why but I believed him on that one, he looked sincere talking about Carrie.
I sighed.
"You kidnapper!" I snapped suddenly at him, he looked shocked on my sudden outburst.
"How dare you kidnap me?! I would file a case against you!"
"You think you can do that? Okay, go ahead. Let's see how that turns out." He said smirking. I wanted to slap that out of his face.
"I am leaving now!" I walked pass him, looking for my bag, I would go and take my daughter and leave for good. How was I even going to leave for good, when he seems to be the one stalking me.
I threw him a side glare, at the thought of him stalking me.
"What." He said between chuckles. It was so rich. But I ignored him as I didn't see my bags anywhere. He thinks this is funny, huh?
"Where are my bags?!" I snapped at him.
"It's burnt." He said. Making me gasp.
"B-burnt?" I stuttered.
"Yes." He said firmly. I looked at him unbelievably.
"You burnt them? Why?!"
"What kind of clothes do you put on? They're stupid." I scoffed again, unbelievable. Oh now, he thinks he gets to choose what I wear.
Yes, i guess they are, i didn't have enough money to buy new clothes but how is that his business?
"How does it concern you?" I asked him. He didn't reply back immediately, he just stared at me for about 30 seconds before he finally said something.
"I ordered a dress for you," He said and walked towards the wardrobe. He collected the gown hanged on a wardrobe and shoved it to me. It looked really expensive, if you combine all my old clothes cost together, it won't be able to buy that gown.
I eyed the dress. It was really beautiful. I bet it costs a fortune. I wonder why he would even spend any of his dime on me. I thought he hated me. Well, I hate him too.
He's probably using all these to get me in more trouble. He wants to put me in debt. I shook my head. "I'm not wearing that, I don't know how you'd do it, bring back my bag intact." I told him.
"It's burnt."
"Didn't you hear what I said? I said bring back my bag."
"It's burnt."
Ah! I wanted to scream at him and tell him who he is messing with. Okay, maybe I
"Like I said before, I'm giving you an offer." He said. Does he think I would take any offer from him?
"Do you think-" he cut me off.
"You'd be working as my personal assistant."
There was no way I was working for him. Not on this or my after life.
"No, thank you, but if you're trying to get something from me, then forget it, I don't need your job!" I said taking the gown to go to the bathroom and change.
When my body mistakenly hit a vase causing it to fall, it splattered on the floor. in swift motion I jumped so it won't hurt me.
The vase looked so expensive...
I looked up at Xavier, who looked shocked himself.
He looked up at me.
"please, I didn't mean to break the vase, I will pay back for it."
"Do you think you could ever pay for the vase? It cost more than your whole existence." He said.
I would have insulted him, if I am not I am not on the verge of getting sued.
I gulped. "H-how much i-is it?"
"50 million."
My heart seized beating immediately.50 million? Oh god, what am I going to do? I was going to have a heart attack. I don't even have up to a thousand dollars. Where would I get 50 million from?! What was I thinking, I should have known everything in this house was expensive.I look at him with pleading eyes, I noticed a smirk was forming on his face. How I wanted to hit that handsome face of his.Handsome? Again? I mentally hit myself. Why do I have to be so stupid?!I looked up to see his amused face, only then I had realised I said that aloud.Why does he look amused in a situation like this? I guess he enjoys seeing me suffer, and I hated him. He might be handsome and all but I don't like him."Please, I didn't mean to break the vase, I'd do anything to pay it...""Anything?" I don't like the way he said that."If you think I'm going to have sex with you, then think again!" I snapped at him, even when I know it was not the right choice right now."And why would I want that from y
Seeing jack made my heart stop. What was he doing here? I never planned on meeting him again and now.He didn't enter, he just stood there looking at us with both anger and jealousy?I stumbled back up, and the elevator moved. Xavier was busy smirking. He sure does like smirking a lot.Jack. Maybe he has a meeting here with Xavier, that's the only reason why he could be here."Relax, you look ugly making that face." I heard Xavier say. I threw him a deadly glare, I'm sure if looks could kill, he'd be dead by now.He rolled his eyes. "Do you have a meeting with him?" I asked him.He furrowed his eyebrow."Why? you know him?" How I wanted to hit this man. He doesn't know who he was and he was smirking, I thought he knew."Uh... no, just wanted to know." He didn't buy that. I was hoping he did.He straightened his magnificent suit. "I have a meeting with him in a few minutes, and you have to be there." He said.Nonono, I'm not ready. Does he know the truth? What if he knows and decides
What was I going to tell him? It is like he has already known about it, but wants to hear it from me?This is what I have been trying to avoid, to face my past. But you can't run from it."I don't like when I am being lied to, miss Hayden," he emphasized. I wanted to roll my eyes. But right now is not the right time.I sighed. "he's my ex.""I know," he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. You see guys."I have a meeting at 10, you're coming with me," he said.So that was it? He surely knows how to scare the crap out of someone, I thought he was going to fire me for a second."uh... Okay." I said looking around, I have no idea what to do next. So I just stood there.Awkward."you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing," he said after some time. He was looking deep into it.What was I supposed to be doing? I have no idea, I have never done a job like this before and he knows that. He's probably trying to get on my nerves as he seems to enjoy that a lot. I would
It felt like the world stopped rotating at that moment. I can't believe it's truly her. But the look on her face proved it. The hatred she has always had for me.Tears slipped from my eyes, I missed her so much. I hugged her.She stayed frozen. I sobbed on her shoulders. "Layla," I whispered sobbing."where have you been? I thought you were dead. I missed you so much." I said crying.She pushed me away from her, i fell to the ground. What just happened?I looked up at her. She smiled bitterly."you're such a great actress, you should go apply for it and I'm sure you'd win an Oscar. You've always been the better one, which is all an act, slut." she snarled.She had always used words that would leave scars on me. I got up from the floor, i noticed a bruise on her hand. "does it hurt?" I said taking her hand to look at the bruise, but she yanked it away."it's funny how you act as your care, and it doesn't suit you, quit the act!" she snapped."I am-" she cuts me off."you have always
I turned around to see her, just as always she was glaring at me.I was so lost in what just happened. "what are you doing here?" she asked.I didn't bother to answer her, that's not the question she should be asking now."who is that guy?" I asked. "what does he want from you?" I asked and she scoffed. "How is it your fucking business? I told you this before, never interrupt with my life matters," she said arrogantly.She was hurting me emotionally. I wanted to be a part of her life, but she wouldn't allow me."A man was here and he thought I was you." that got her attention. She dragged me inside her apartment and locked the door."How the hell did he find out about this place?" she asked herself. That only made me more curious."what? Layla, you have to tell me, who is he?" "my ex," she said after a moment of silence. Her ex.And I thought he's a serial killer or something. I sighed. We could bring him down, right? All we had to do was to call the cops."If he's disturbing you li
I looked out the window, seeing the skies, it was fantastic. I sighed as my mind wandered off to Carrie again.I hope nothing bad happens to her while I was gone. And I hope she called me and tell me she is okay.What if she calls me now? She wouldn't be able to reach me! "what are you so hyped up about," he asked. What did he mean? Oh yeah, I was probably hyped."When are we coming back?" I asked."as soon as I am done with the contract," he replied."When is that?" "next week," he said and my heart jumped. I can't be gone for a week.Layla. I internally cried."why?" "n-nothing," I replied almost immediately. I looked out the window again. Praying nothing bad would happen and everything was going to go just fine.I slept off.~I woke up when someone nudged my shoulders. I slowly turned my head to see a lady, Xavier wasn't there. Where could he be?"we've reached ma'am." the steward said. Ah. So he left. One minute it seems he cares for you and the other he doesn't seem to care
My heart suddenly started beating fast. Why had she called by this time, did something happen? Had that guy come back."L-Layla, are you okay?" "y-yes, how can I not be okay? I'm perfectly fine!" she said. I removed the phone from my ear. She was okay. She was just drunk. I breathe a sigh of relief, putting the phone back in my ear."why had you call?" I asked slowly."I want to tell you something, come over." had she forgiven me...?"do not think I forgive you. I'd always hate you Lily." she sneered through the phone."ugh! Just come over." with that, she hung up. She doesn't seem to be in trouble, did she just want me to come over?I sighed going back to my room. I was in front of Xavier's door when I heard that lady's voice. "Xavier, please. Let's continue." you could tell she was trying to hold him.Why do I feel comfortable about this?"for Christ's sake! We're engaged! This is normal." she screamed"get.out." I heard him grit.I walked closer to the door. This was wrong but my
My heart almost dropped. I had to go back immediately. I hope she was fine. Oh god. I quickly ran back to the meeting room. They weren't done. Just my luck.I can't wait. I need a quick flight back to Los Angeles. But we were in another country! With tears in my eyes, I walked to Xavier."c-can I talk to you, precisely now? Please." I asked. He rolled his eyes but stopped when he noticed some tears in my eyes."excuse me," he said. before standing up and walking out. Immediately we reached outside. "what do you want?" he asked like it was the most casual thing to ask at that moment. This is not the time for me to get mad..."c-can you book a flight for me to go back?" he tensed at this. Then glared at me."I'm sorry miss Hayden, but that can't be done. We're not done here." he might add I'm sorry, but he didn't and wasn't sorry."please. I beg of you. I'd do anything. You can add to my schedule after this. I-i don't mind." I pleaded. "and what are you going to do back there." I can'
