I gulped looking at the man before me. It was a setup! What an idiot am I, I should have known. A huge grin plastered on his face.
He walked closer to me. "Don't come closer!" I screamed at him, but he didn't even seem to hear what I just said.
His grin was sickening, I looked around if there was anything I could use to protect myself when he suddenly jumped on me resulting in the two of us falling on the bed.
"Help! Somebody help! Please!" I screamed for help but no one came. The man pressed his body against mine, he brought his head to my neck and started kissing it, my effort to push him away was in vain.
He was so much stronger, tears spilt out of my eyes, "stop, please, don't do this, I beg of you!" I cried. He stood up from me, he quickly unclasped his belt
I thought this was my chance to escape, but his arm suddenly wrapped around my waist pulling me back. Kicking and screaming did nothing to him.
I spotted the vase on the stool behind the bed, I stressed out to reach it, but I couldn't reach it.
Oh god, please save me. Stretching further for it, I finally reached it, I took a hold of it and hit him on the head with it.
He released me and held his head. "Ahhh." He growled I took the chance to run.
Bolting out of the room, I ran through the long passage, I reached the place where they were so many people dancing.
"Find her!!!" I heard him growl, I had to hide. I quickly bent down and hid under the table that was close to me.
My heart was beating so fast, what if they caught me? More tears slipped out of my eyes.
After some minutes I heard, "where there fuck could she be?!" It was that man, he was shouting at someone or persons.
"She didn't leave the club sir, I'm sure she is somewhere around here." One replied.
"Go fucking find her!!!" He growled. I whimpered, and I might have mistakenly touched something and it fell with a loud noise.
"Who's there?" A man with a deep voice asked. Fear took over me, I froze, and the table was suddenly flipped over.
I looked up to see 5men before me, 1 of them was that man. He had a stupid smirk on his face. Suddenly I was grabbed by two men. "Let go of me!" I shouted trying to leave their grasp.
"Please, I beg of you." I cried and suddenly a man walked towards where we were."
"What are you doing, man, she's Vick's fiancee." The man said, fiancee?!
Something crossed the men's faces, it was fear. Whoever this Vick guy is, he must be rich or something.
"Come with me." The guy said grabbing my arm. He practically dragged me out of the club.
"Where are you taking me to?!" I screamed at the unknown man. "Home." He replied.
Home? What was he talking about? We reached outside and there was a car just beside the door. He opened the car door.
"Get in." He said. I should make a run for it. "Don't even think about it." I heard him say.
He nodded his head towards the men around, they work for him too? Or whoever this Vick guy is.
If I run now, they would catch me. I gulped before entering the car. The door closed and the man came into the driver's seat and drove off.
I looked carefully at the road, just in case I see a chance to escape, so I would know the way back.
We were suddenly in a familiar environment. Was he taking me back to my aunt's?
My eyes widened when we stopped just right outside her house. He came out of the car and walked to my door and opened it.
"Come out." He said, I climbed down.
~
"Thank you so much, please greet sir Vick for me." I heard my aunt say to that man. She knew who Vick is!
I was sitting down on a chair in the living room. "I will." He replied. I heard the door close and footsteps coming closer to where I was.
My aunt reached the living room, and she was glaring at me. "You never listen to me! If that man had raped you. Oh god." She said.
My head was down, and I couldn't look at her. "Just do as I say, and you'll live a wonderful life, Tessa." She said.
I didn't answer her, I couldn't. If I leave again...
You'd regret ever going to him!
You're so stubborn!
If I go again the third time, maybe something so much more may happen to me.
She's Vick's fiancee.
My mind went back to what that man had said. "W-who is Vick?" I asked my aunt to ignore what she has been saying.
"He's the man I was telling you about, the one who is interested in you." She replied.
"Well, I said this before, I'm not interested in him, do I have to say it out loud?" I snapped.
"You don't have a choice in it." She snapped back.
"What do you mean by I don't have a choice in it, this is my life!"
"I might have never said this before, but Vick isn't someone who takes no."
"Stop! I don't care, I'm not getting married and there's nothing you or he can do about it."
"Oh, that's where you're wrong."

.......
"I'm pregnant." I blurted out. Hoping that would stop this madness. "What? You're lying." She replied. "I'm not. I'm pregnant and it's my ex-husband's." She started pacing around the room. "You're going to abort that bastard." "No. You don't tell me what to do." I snapped. She turned to look at me, the last time she looked at me like that was when I was 16, I had broken an expensive architect, by mistake. "You bastard! I've had enough! How dare you talk to me like that!" She lunged towards me grabbing my hair, tightly. "Stop!" I cried, but she didn't. "You're going to abort that bastard, do you hear me?!" I managed to push her away, resulting in her falling to the floor. Cara came rushing into the room and saw her mum on the floor. She glared at me, helping aunt up, I thought she was going to stop, but she didn't. ~ I cried, trying to clean myself. My body hurts so much. Cara had joined aunt earlier. I can't believe this is happening, it has to be a dream. A bad dream. Afte
I don't think I can reach out to him with a problem like this, I don't even know him. Yeah. You don't want to involve him in a matter like this. I think you should reach out to him, who knows, he might be able to help you. Two voices argued in my head, I don't think it's proper to reach out to him with a problem like this. Okay, watch yourself getting married... Or signed off. I don't want that! With shaky hands, I took my phone and typed the number on it. The phone rang, but then it was sent to voicemail. This might be a sign that I shouldn't call him. Throwing my phone frustratingly at the other side of the bed, I lay down. What an ill fate I have. I shouldn't have come here in the first place, if I hadn't, I would have been living in more proper life. Tears streamed down my eyes, with a headache coming along with them. Suddenly my phone rang. I stretch out to take my phone and looked at the caller's id. No name. I tapped the accept button before putting it close to my ear
"Tessa, I saw what happened earlier." I turned my head to look at Yvonne, she was giving me a weird look. "What do you mean? And stop with that face, it's creeping me out." "Don't pretend that you don't know!" "No, seriously, I don't know what you're talking about." "You and Jake! The way you two held each other's hands today, the way you two looked at each other..." She said dreamily. Oh god. She was talking about what happened earlier, I had incidentally slipped and Jake caught me. I and Jake have been friends for two years now and nothing is going on between us. "I told you, Jake and I are just friends., I said and she scoffed. "That's what you always say, even when you know it's not true, just- fine, but that won't stop me from shipping." I rolled my eyes mentally. "Did you hear?" She asked. "Hear what?" "About the boss, he's going to come to our branch tomorrow, I gotta go do my beauty treatment!" The boss, he was coming? I've never seen him personally, I have only heard
"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." A voice said the person waved at my face, and I turned to see Yvonne. "I think I'm in trouble." "Why?" "He asked for me... Mr Kings." I said and her mouth formed into an 'o' shape. "Remember? I came late today, what if he wants to fire me-" "It's okay, calm down... Maybe... Well, he might just want to know why you were late, I don't think he would fire you and I could escort you there if you want." "Yes. Please do." "Okay." She chirped with a huge smile on her face. She entangled her arm in mine and we walked towards the elevator. We entered and the door closed and it started moving. "Relax, you look tensed." I heard Yvonne say. I sighed. Soon it stopped and we stepped out and walked towards the reception. Yeah, there was also a reception here for those waiting to see him. "Thank you so much, you can go now-" she cuts me off. "It's okay, I want to be here for you, what are friends for?" She said with a friendly smile. "Thank
I looked at the paper in my hands again, you know, just to know if I had read right. Transfer?? Why would they transfer me? I mean it's not yet time to be transferred. I'd have to go resume there tomorrow. Oh god and it was not just any department, the boss' office was there. I would have to do my work strictly and make no mistakes. There, I won't be able to get any help from Jake or Yvonne because it's a bit far from their offices. My alarm suddenly went off startling me. 06:00 pm I kept the paper back in the envelope and placed it inside my bag. I stood up and arranged my things before going over to the curtains to lock them. I took my bag and walked out of the office, I'm going to miss it, I can't believe this would be the last time I'm going to be here. "Hey, my car broke down. Can you give me a ride?" I heard Yvonne say, immediately after I got out of the office. "Sure," I replied with a sly smile. "How was work today?" She asked as we walked towards my car. We got in befo
I sighed swirling around with my office chair. it's been a boring day, I must say. I haven't done any work because Mr Kings is not at work, and there was no paperwork for me. My office phone rang, I picked up the phone to answer it. "Yes-" the person cuts me off. "...file 245." He said and the call died. Rude. But when did he get there though? I could swear he wasn't in his office 10mins ago. I stood up and walked to the filing cabinet. After a minute of searching, I found it. I got out of my office to Mr King's office. He sat on his chair, his eyes solely on the paper before him. "Here's the file, sir." I gave it to him, and I turned around to go back to my office. My computer beeped, and I looked at it. Oh, thank god! At least, I've got something to do. ~ I looked at the time. Noon. I sighed. My door opened, revealing Yvonne, I beamed. "Oh thank god you came," I said and she giggled. She sat down in the chair opposite me. "Did you get his call?" She asked I raised an eyebr
I sat down on my office chair and Yvonne sat on the chair opposite me. My heart was still beating fast, I stood up to go take a bottle of water before coming back to sit down. "Are you sure you're okay? You look..." "I am. Anyways, thanks for coming." I said smiling, and she returned the smile. Like that, we talked, exchanging stories and all. "Did you hear about the party Mr Kings is holding?" She asked. I didn't hear about it and even if I did I wasn't going to go. I know she would go. "No, I didn't," I replied. "Now that you heard, are you going to go?" "No, I'd rather stay at home, wait... Is it a day party or a night one?" "A night party and it's okay, I understand why you can't come so I won't pressure you." She said giving an understanding nod. "Thank you," I muttered. This is so unlike her though, being her normal self, she'd give me reasons to go. But I'm glad she understands this time. "No problem, so... How is your job here?" She asked. "It's okay, I haven't had much
Oh my. I shouldn't have come to this party. There were so many eyes staring in our direction. I looked down unable to look at the people. I snapped my head up when I heard a clash of broken glass. The broken glass was next to Mr Kings, maybe he had mistakingly dropped it. His eyes were right at me, and I looked down again. "Let's go in." I heard Jake's voice, really close to my ear. I nodded and we walked in. He was going towards where Mr Kings was. Oh god, what's he going to do there? They are friends remember? I sighed walking along with him, we soon reach there and we untangled our hands. "Jake! My man!" A dude in a grey suit said, he hugged Jake patting his back. "Who is the beautiful lady?" Another guy with a dark red suit asked him. "Ah, this is Tessa, my girlfriend," Jake said making me gasp. Hitting him, I said. "No, I'm, not." "...yet," Jake said, I noticed who he was looking at. Mr Kings. His eyes were solely on Mr Kings when he said that. What game was he playing? S
