"What?" I exclaimed shocked
I rushed to the VIP section and stopped at the door to compose myself for a while
I breathed in and out before knocking
I entered after a guard opened the door for me
"These people must be damned important," I thought
I got to where their table was and bowed
"Welcome to five-star restaurant sirs and ma, what can we offer you please?" I asked politely
The next thing I heard was a heavy laughter
I frowned
"Hey pretty lady" I heard a voice then a hand-pulled me taking me off guard
I pulled away and fell to the floor
"Gosh" My cheeks flushed in embarrassment
I stood up and dust my skirt before looking up to see the person
"I'm sorry sir but I won't like any form of molestation..."
"Are you trying to say he was molesting you?" A very cold but calm voice asked
I shook after hearing his voice and turned in his direction still in shock
My eyes met his and I flinched
"How can his eyes be scary and at the same time charming," I thought
"How dare you look him in the eye" The man of the other time thundered
"I'm..sorry.." I stuttered and brought my eyes down
"A nice customer to start the day" I roll my eyes
"Call me your manager," The second man said
"What?" I froze
"Sir, please do not call him, I'll..."
My word was cut short when I saw myself being flipped on the table
"No one looks directly into my eyes without consequences," the man said icily
I shook in fear, my eyes were beginning to water
Who's he and why will I be the one to serve him
He let go of me after finishing talking
"Call me your manager, I don't like repeating myself," He said calmly before going to sit down
My whole body shakes as I picked up my phone and called my manager
My tears had already started flowing out
I know better than anyone what this means but this is unfair
The manager arrived a few minutes later and he glared at me before facing them
He bows respectfully
"Why are you not ordering sir," He asked
"You can ask your staff for that," The first man said
I was shocked when he said that
"Isabel, why are you not attending to them?" The manager asked calmly
"Huh?"
"They haven't ordered yet sir," I said after regaining myself
"We did order but she refused to serve" The first man smirked
The second man wasn't saying anything and I was prating he'll say something, I'm sure he's going to help if he say something or that was what I thought
"I want her fired" The first man finally talked
My whole world crashed down immediately
"Wait maybe I'm dreaming," I thought withholding my tears
"Firstly, she was late before she got here"
"Secondly she had a bad way of welcoming customers "
"Thirdly, she refused to serve us what we ordered" The first man accused me of what I never did
"Sir, she's one of the best here in this restaurant, can you please reconsider" The manager pleaded
"I wonder what will happen if I sue this restaurant for poor customer service and bad food," the second man said standing up
"Don't worry sir, I'll fire her once she's here" The manager said even though I was here
"I want it here and right now," the second man said
I quickly hold his leg when he was going out
"Please sir, this is the only survival for me and my family" I pleaded with tears rolling down my face
"Sir, she's right I think maybe you should reconsider" The manager tried pleading for me but no, the man wasn't listening
"I wonder what will happen if I decide to sue this restaurant"
"Bad welcoming service?"
"Bad waiters?"
"I'm sorry but I have to do this, you have fired Isabella Maze" The manager cuts in with a deep sigh
My tears flow freely now and I felt hurt
"Thank you, sir, thank you" I bowed and ran out in tears
I met Diana on the way and she was smiling, she was dressed in her bitchy clothes as usual
"What happened to the great Isabella" She mocked
I glared at her and walks into the dressing room still in tears, I changed into my normal clothes and packed my hair up
I sniff in my tears cleaned it and took a cab back home
I met Clara inside watching a movie, she was holding a popcorn in her hands
"Ara..." My weak voice called
"Huh, Ella, you are back," She asked surprised
"Yea, just too tired" I fake a smile
I'm not used to keeping things from her but I'll tell her this later
"Oh, go freshen up and come downstairs soon," she said
That's what I like about her, she doesn't push things forward
"Okay Ara" I smile before going into the bedroom
My house is a single house but looks like a flat
After freshening up, I jumped on my bed and resort to calling Ian, my boyfriend
After the third ring, he picked up
"Sweetheart..." His cheerful voice came in
"Yup" I smile truthfully
As if I know he's my medicine
"Are you not at the restaurant?" He asked may be surprised
"No, I'm not, I was fired" I broke the news to him
"What?" He screamed
"Hey, easy there" I chuckled sadly
"Are you kidding me?" He said
"No, I wasn't even at fault but they blamed me" I frowned
"Sorry babe, what will you do now?" He said
"What else" I shrug
"I'll just look for another job comes Monday, you know tomorrow is the weekend," I said
"Yes I remember," He said and I was surprised
Does he remember my birthday?
Maybe he's trying to surprise me
I smiled
"Okay babe, I'll talk to you later," I said and drop the call
I know he may be working right now and I don't want to implicate him
I stood up and smiled
I started looking for beautiful clothes that'll amaze him
"Losing my job was painful yea but I just have to start all over again," I thought
......................TBC..................................
I went downstairs and met Ara in the kitchen"Hey," I said"What's up with you?" I added"I'm supposed to be asking that Ella" She faced me with a frown"I came to call you the other time and mistakenly heard your conversation with Ian" She added"Oh that" I mouthed"Is it true?" She asked softly"Yea but don't be sorry, I'll find another job real soon" I gave her an assuring smile"Now let's forget about it, what are you cooking?" I asked"Oh this""Spaghetti meatballs" She winks, I chuckled"My favorite" I smile at her"Let me help" I added and we started cooking togetherAfter some minutes, we were done cooking and I took it to the sitting room after dishing it on two plates, my house doesn't have a diningShe came to join me after washing her hands We turned on the television and the movie "imitation" was being playedI'm a fan of Korean movies anyways Looking at how serious Ara is, you'll think she was watching more than this movieShe looks so serious and I'm sure she would
"Ian..." The word slowly left my mouthThey both disengaged shockedI closed my eyes and reopened Them to check if I was sleepingIan and Clara romancing each other, this has to be a lie"Babe, this was a mistake, I can explain...""Common Ian, we can as well tell her now, no point trying to lie to her" Ara cuts in"You see Bella, you have always had the good things and when I met Ian, I fell in love with him at first sight and I was sure he felt attracted to me also but then I introduce you too, I don't know how you did it, you got him to ask you out, months after you guys dating, he realized he loved me and we have been dating since then, no more stories " Ara roll her eyes before sitting on his laps"You see, Isabel, you are a nice and beautiful girl and I'm sorry you had to find out this way""I can't continue with this relationship, I love Ara a lot and I don't think I wanna lose her" Ian breathed outThe tears I was holding in fell out heavily"No no you guys should have just to
"Sold to what..." I trailed off"We are sorry Ella" Mom looked down in guilt I stared at dad but he had an expressionless face, I stared back at mom then back to the guys"You are sorry?" I asked with a scoff"Listen, guys, settle your score with them, I'm not sold to any motherfucking bastard okay" I shouts By now my tears were rolling down my face.How hard can this life get?The scary guy who didn't say anything since I arrived laughed dryly.He stopped and looked at me, I flinched"Do we look like a joke to you?" He asked with a raised browI shook my head negatively scared to say anything"We'll be going now" He announced and they stood upThey walked toward me while I shift back"Mom don't let them take me away please" I cried heavilyThis isn't how I viewed my life, my life was always perfect so why whyThe first guy carried me while I fight to free myself, we got outside and I was dropped into a black van.A handkerchief was placed on my nose and everything blank out.(Next
"Serve the what..." I trailed off"He'll be back by night so you should prepare, no mistake or you are dead," She said ignoring me"You may go now" She added before going her wayI stood transfixed not knowing what to do, can I serve him without making a mistake"Okay Isabella, think of this as you being a waitress" I calm myself down"Are you done?" I heard Nicole's voice"Huh oh yea," I said"Okay then let's go, you need to learn the rules of serving him, " She said"Okay" I smile lightlyWe both walked to our room without saying anything to each otherI saw the book already placed on my desk when I got to the room."Who are you serving Cole," I asked sitting on my bed with the book in my hand"I'm serving sir Jeremy, the master's closest friend" She squealed staring dreamily"Huh""He's so handsome Bella" She blushed"Don't tell me you love him?" I asked surprised"I can't help it Bella" She sighs"What if he finds out," I said"Then that means death for me" She shrugs"That's scar
"Strip," He said coldly"What?" I stuttered"Are you questioning me right now?" He asked icily"No...sir" I stuttered remembering the rulesMy head was still bowed so I took my hands slowly to my shirt button and lost it revealing my bra, with my shaky hands I pulled off my skirt.Now I'm left with my bra and pants.I blinked my eyes ashamed of myself.I was suddenly flipped to the bed, he was on top of me.I couldn't look up even though I know what he wanna do, he tore off my pants and bra and then took off his trousers.I suddenly looked up realizing what he wanted to do.My eyes caught his face and I froze.That guy, that second guy who made me lose my job.I felt something painful enter me and screamedI looked down and saw he already penetrated."Please..." I choke on my tears as he roughly has sex with meIt was really painful and I couldn't do anything but cry, he increased his pace and started going roughly making it feel as if something was cutting through me"Please""You ar
"Where do you think they are right now" I asked her curiously"They must be at the main hall" She said standing up with the look of "follow me" I stood up and followed her behindWe soon got to a big hall which was loud, at some side, some were romancing and at some other side, some are having sex"That's gross" I thought scrunching my face in disgust"You should get used to it" I heard Cole voice"Why?" I sighs not knowing if this was a bad idea or good idea.Giving myself fully to that monster, befriending his most trustworthy members and most importantly to make sure he makes me his favorite.I sigh again and stopped when we got to a table.Nicole point at the other table, four people were there playing games I guess"They are the one" She said"Then we should go" I said, I wanted to walk to them but she pulled me back"What are we going to say to them" She raised her brow"Just watch me" I winks, she gave a small smile, I guess she was scaredWe got to their table and I cleared my
I entered his room and the first smell that hit my nose was that of a smoke"Wait, He's smoking" I gaspedOh no, I'm allergic to smoke.I held in my breath then quickly dropped his foodWhen I couldn't take it anymore, I started coughing and gasping for air, my face became red and my skin started to change color"Smoke" I managed to say still coughing"Cough one more time and you'll be as good as dead" He muttered coldly before facing me"Look at me" He said puffing out the smoke in his mouth on my faceMy breath stopped and my breathing became more rapid making it hard for me to breath"Please" My eyes getting watery"I'm allergic to smoke" I said "What did you say?" He asked icily puffing out more smoke on my faceI shook my head negatively since my im finding it hard to breathe nowHe dropped the smoke and went to sit on his bed."I'm not that wicked" He rolls his eyes then pressed a button beside himThe AC increases and cool air set in I released my breath holding my chest and
She pulled the triger and I shot my eyes waiting for what's next.When I felt nothing, I opened my eyes and saw master Seth in front of me, he pulled me out of the way which made the bullet hit the wall."Hazel" He said calmly"What?" She rolls her eyes"No one I repeat, no one can fucking hurt her except me!" He said and somehow I felt like he was trying to hold his anger in."But Seth..."The sound of a gun made me jumped in fear, he fucking shot her but thankfully because of how skilled she was, she was able to avoid it."No one dares to call my name Hazel and you know better than making me angry" He snarls "Okay fine" She said with an expressionless face and when her eyes met mine, she glared at me"You can go Isabella" I heard his voice behind me"Yes master" I bow respectfully before rushing outAs I walked back to my room, i couldn't help but think about what just happened earlier.He seriously protected me "Don't let it get to you fool" My subconscious yells at me"Of course
I rolled my eyes at her reaction, nothing is going to happen to me so why that kind of facial. “I’ll give you the details you might need in finding Antorio but be careful, I’m still thinking that guy is dangerous.” She nods her head to my words, I used my phone to copy down some details back to the big laptop in front of her before standing up. I head towards the door before looking back at her again, she was still staring at me, “You are safe searching for him here, this place block all entrance to location trackers, and don’t tell anyone where I’m off to.” With that I walked out, I went to Seth’s drawer and took one of the gun there. I’ll be back soon babies, my property is somewhere and I need to retrieve it. I met Liam at the door and sigh, must I be overly protected, I’m now more better at fighting and using equipment. I wonder if this could ever end. The soft and natural life I’ve planned for my kids since I was pregnant. Will I really be able to fulfill it without any hin
I stretched out the stood beside her before sitting down, “I know you’ll wanna ask me who Antorio is so I’ll explain without you asking.” I said, she sat down properly facing me now. “So 27 years ago, just a week before the killing of the Blackshadow clan, I overheard dad talking to a man called Antorio.”(FLASHBACK)I tiptoed trying not to get caught as I tried running away from the clan to meet Seth in the garden. I tripped on a glass and winced in pain but quickly hide behind the flower just not far from where I injured myself. “Antorio, and I’m saying it again and won’t repeat it any longer, you can’t marry her, she’s from one of our most deadliest enemy and his daughter to worsen the matter. ”You can’t marry her, that’s my final day in this clan.” Dad said , I took a peep look outside to see his face, he was quite a handsome guy, I recognize him to be my brother’s best friend. My brother was 18 during this time but I could remember hearing from some of the members saying he st
He looked at me as though he wanted to question me but changed his mind and started the car again. The ride back home was quiet and bored but no one was ready to talk, he stopped the car when we got there and I came down just in time with my babies who were coming down from their father’s car “Momma” Keaton shouts coming to hug me excited, I smile gently bending down to hold her, I drag her cheek softly before saying, “Don’t be such a mummy’s girl pretty.” She gave me a cheeky smile before moaning, “Ouch, that hurts.” She fake out a cry and ran to Seth sniffing in her fake nose, Seth faced me, he’s at the verge of bursting into laughter, “Okay can you not be so harsh to her now.” He said. I could tell he was frustrated, work of the two devils, they are a handful and to control them will be so hard. “As if.” I scoffed before moving close to them, I gave Kris a peck in his cheek, “You deserve this for being a good boy.” He gave me a playful disgusting face, “I told you to s
Going further as the car sped up towards Veronica’s house, I intended to scare her and see her facial expression, I don’t care if it doesn’t yield out what I want but this will be over. I’m planning to end everything once and for all, my children must not pass through the same thing I passed through because of her. I’ve targeted everything I needed to make her weak so I just need to get to her first. The car came to a halt as we got there, I stepped out, and the mansion haven’t changed a bit, it was still the same as I left it that gruesome night. At least she knows how to take care of things well, not bad. I walked in asking Lexi to stop at the gate, the security looked at me, seeing me, you wouldn’t have doubts knowing I look like my mom a lot. He stared at me for a while before asking me the question I’ve been expecting him to ask, “Who are you?.” I smile warmly at him giving him my sexiest look and voice.“Your worst nightmare.” I knocked him down before he could say anythin
I stirred in my sleep slowly opening my eyes, the sun reflecting from the window side shine on my face which made me feel warm.I smile remembering what happened in the morning, it’ll probably be afternoon by now, I tried turning, “No don’t, can we stay this way for a while.” I heard his voice, I felt his hand tighten the more on my body.Our naked body rubbing against each other, I smile and removed his hand turning to face him, “Don’t you think MR D down there is getting hard.” I whispered feeling his huge MR D rocking against my laps.I took down my hands under the duvet, taking it back to his dick rubbing it slowly, “Stop that will you, we just had sex some hours ago.” He said trying to restrict.“Hours you called it, we’ve both starved ourselves for seven years Seth, I think we deserve the whole day.” I whispered stroking it more harder, “Isabella...” He moaned out.After I was sure it was so hard, I stood up to ride on him pushing in his full length at once, I stopped to take i
«A WEEK LATER» Seth has been avoiding me for like a week, he’s mostly going for mission or took Kris and Keaton on a normal date. I’ve been trying to start a conversation with him but he always shut me up. I’m heading to his room since he’s inside now, I got in front and the guards in front bow to me, “Is he inside?.” I asked, they nod before opening the door for me.Getting inside, I could smell smoke from his bedroom so I just walked in straight, he was standing in front of the window, his back facing the room.“What are doing you doing here?.” Seeing how he recognized me without me saying anything meant he still so much love me, he might be angry but I know his main weakness.I ran to him and hugged him from behind, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything, your silence is killing me slowly, how many times do I have to apologize before you’ll forgive me, you know how much sorry I am huh, huh?.” I smile inwardly seeing how his body was smitten by mine.He tried removing my hands
(At the clan) We are all surrounded around the bed, each and everyone in their own sitting position, the twins are standing in one place staring just like we all are. Each and everyone confuse at what was happening at the moment, if thinking about how we narrowly escaped before the police got to us. «FLASHBACK » Isabella staggered back in shock, “Isabella.” Arabella called still surprised or maybe shocked. I could only stare at the scene in front of me not knowing what to say. My eyes went to the two kids I saw earlier before she came down, I couldn’t help but notice an unusual resemblance between the two . “Boss we don’t have much time.” Daisy said after regaining herself still staring at Isabella, just when she was about to run away, I grabbed her wrist and hit her with my back gun. “I’m sorry.” I murmur before carrying her. I faced the other members and they now, I was at the brink of crying but I don’t know what exactly to do at the moment, “You’ll need to l
I stood up to go after her when the door opened, Kris and Keaton came in looking exhausted, I stare at them, they both look alike except for some differences.Keaton look more like Isabella and Kris took this feature I don’t know, he resemble his father I guess.“Aunt Carol” Keaton called coming to me together with her brother, they both hugged me and sat on the couch, she looked around like she was looking for someone Isabel came in holding two cups with a nylon of cereal and a bottle of water, “Mom” They both run to her and hugged her“My babies” She touches their cheek fondly, I stood up and walked to the room, I could hear the kids asking what was wrong with me but she told them nothing.After a while, she came in cleaning her hand, “I put them to sleep” She said after some minutes of silence, I behaved like I was asleep and didn’t say anything“I know you aren’t asleep, I’m sorry for the way I acted earlier” She added, I stood up after hearing her apology “For what exactly, you
I stood that way for like forever before recovering myself, I gasped after realizing what just happened, standing up, I dust my clothe before clearing my throat. “I’m sorry, that was a mistake” I stuttered, he sat in the floor staring at me not saying anything, that made me feel uncomfortable. Before he opened his mouth to speak, I was expecting a harsh word so I closed my eye. “Do you love me?” He asked, I look up to his question in surprise, that was the least thing I thought he could ever ask me. “The way you are avoiding me and behaving since the incident at gold house, you’ve not been so lively with me like usual. ”So what if I do, does that make me a sinner “ I said looking up to him, Malone it is for the better, forget the past but not one which held the most beautiful memories. ”Then stop loving me“ I looked at him as he said those words, I wasn’t expecting that from him, he shrugged when he noticed I was looking at him. ”I won’t be able to reciprocate that feelings, I d
