Minutes? Hours? Loretta couldn't tell how long she spent in the basement but by the time she opened her eyes again, it felt as though her soul was long gone from her body. She was like a lifeless being, just sitting in the dark and staring at no one in particular.She couldn't move any part of her body as she felt paralyzed. Her throat was dried and her inside was tightened.She was sure it was more than twenty-four hours since she was locked away, coupled with the night she had nothing to eat.The door was suddenly pushed open and the sharp edge of the metal pierced her arm. She was lying so close to it and got no mercy from whoever opened the door as he pushed it open even further, going deep into her arm, and in no time, the red liquid began to drip to the floor.She was too weak to cry out loud and could only whimper as tears flowed down her eyes. She was in pain but couldn't express herself.What a nightmare for her."It's time for you to leave this place. The boss requests for y
A few minutes ago...Loretta woke up after a few hours of sleep, finally getting back the strength she needed. Her wounded arm was bandaged and there was a tray of food kept aside for her.It was 1 am. She had no idea of the time Fabian would go to bed and would only find out when she left her room.She ate a little desert, drank some water, and climbed down her bed, holding the kitchen knife so firmly as she made for his room. Ending his life would mean a way of escaping for her.She couldn't spend another minute in the drug house. They would end her life without thinking so she had to put laws into her own hands and decide to find a way out for herself.She slowly opened the door while her heart throbbed faster as she peeped in. He was asleep on his bed. It was all perfect.She slowly tiptoed into the room and gently closed the door behind her, trying to make no sound to alert him of her presence.She walked to the bed and waved her hand across his face but he didn't open his eyes.
"Take her away and lock her up," Fabian commanded without answering his man who asked if he was okay. He was not in the mood for that and what he needed at that moment was a medic to treat his wound.He was getting very weak but he must not show his weakness to anyone. He is the boss and he must not be seen in a vulnerable state by anyone as a sign of weakness from the boss himself could bring doubts to his follower's minds."Yes, boss." One of the men echoed and stepped forward to grab Loretta to take her away, but he waited patiently as his boss took the knife off her throat.Loretta heaved a sigh almost in relief but she knew the battle was far from over. She was now being handed to his men and lord only knows what they are going to do to her this time as she has committed a deadly crime."Please." She said silently as the man grabbed her by her hair and led her straight back to the mansion where she would be locked up in the basement again, where her worst nightmare would begin on
A doctor was quickly called without delay by Mikel as soon as Fabian got back into his mansion. He took him to his room where he was to be treated and acted discreetly without raising much of an alarm so as not to make the men suspect that their boss had been stabbed badly."Do not tell a soul about this." He could still hear his boss's instructions vividly in his ear and he was not going to be the one to mess it all up."Hello Mr. Mikel, I hurried here as soon as I could, where is the patient?" The doctor asked Mikel as he rushed into the mansion with a nurse and his kits.Mikel signaled for him to tone down his voice so that he would not raise an alarm amongst the men. "Easy now, you are being loud, Doc." He said to the doctor with a low but firm voice which the doctor understood perfectly and comported himself."This way Doc," Mikel said and gestured to the doctor to move towards the room after the doctor had mouthed a sorry as he was not aware of the situation on the ground.Fabia
Loretta cried uncontrollably in the basement that she was thrown in. She knew she was done for now, she had harmed the Mafia and worst, failed at it woefully."What am I going to do now? What have I done? Is this how I am going to die just like that? A worthless death at that?" She asked no one in particular as she sobbed in the confines of her newfound bondage."What was I thinking? How did I even ever think of ending the life of the overall boss here? Why did I do that? Oh my goodness, is this going to be the end of me?" She asked further to no one as she continued crying uncontrollably without having anyone to comfort her.She thought about her father and how he must be doing in this hopeless situation they found themselves in, especially her.She wondered if there was now going to be any hope of her getting out of her bondage and the whole place in general as she had committed a grave sin."Is he even going to let me live one more day, not to talk about spending a whole six months
"Where is that girl right now?" Fabian asked as he held his stomach in pain but he did not show that side of him to Mikel as he tried his hardest to portray a strong boss who was not ready to let little things like a stab wound faze him."She has been locked up in the basement according to your instructions boss. We await further instructions on what to do with her today." Mikel responded with his hands behind his back in a respectful tone to his boss.Fabian grunted silently as he thought about what his little pet slave had done. He became inwardly angry at her for ever having the guts and the audacity to even think of harming him, not to talk about actually carrying out that thought in action.I should have just killed her on the spot when I caught up with her as she tried to escape. How dare she try to lay a finger on me? What gave her the mind exactly to do this and try to kill me?Fabian thought to himself as he tried to decide what to do with her but his thoughts only came back
"What's that noise coming outside the door, Mikel? Is that who I think it is?" Fabian asked Mikel who was equally surprised but not for the same reason that Fabian was surprised."I think the tigress is here sir, I think we are hearing it just about right," Mikel confirmed Fabian's shock with the shocking news of who was at the door.Fabian widened his eyes and wondered how that could be possible. The tigress? Here? What is she doing here? And at this time of the day? And worst of all when I'm in this condition?Fabian thought to himself in shock as he tried to figure out what to do and how to maneuver this impending drama that was definitely about to occur."The tigress? Why is she here? And at this time? What could have brought her here?" Fabian asked Mikel in pure confusion to Mikel's surprise as he wondered if his boss had forgotten what he ordered the previous day.Mikel realized that his boss must have forgotten completely about what he instructed him to do the previous day due
Would this be a good idea? Should I take the risk? I had to act fast so that my mother would not put her eyes on Loretta. She is going to do something bad to her if she discovers she tried to kill me.Fabian thought quickly as he put the equation together. Even though he knew the pet girl had done something worth ending her life over, he still wanted to keep her as his pet for some reason.He wanted to be dominant over her and show her that she belonged to him and he would not be able to do that if she was dead. He hated her at the moment so much that he wanted to have her killed too but he also at the same time wanted to show her his power."I am going to go forward with the meeting." Fabian suddenly said out of the blue which startled Mikel and he could not believe what he had just heard which had left him gobsmacked."What? You are going forward with the meeting? In this state boss? What if they find out that…" Mikel started saying in a way to convince Fabian against doing that, kn
