Perhaps it was the alcohol in my system but I felt jittery and excited as I stood under the shower, I was becoming more conscious of my environment by the seconds and the sleepiness left my body as the cold water drizzled all over me.I thought back to the game night and the way everyone was complimenting me. Did I really change? I mean… What has changed about me? Okay, I trimmed my hair a bit and repacked it but they were exaggerating the whole thing.I thought about Gideon and I couldn’t help but chuckle. Tonight was hilarious, I know we all swore a Pact to keep whatever happens during game night a secret between ourselves but Jennifer giving Gideon a Blow Job was something I doubt would remain a secret. How did she even summon the courage to do that?“Why are you taking so long, Miss Owl?” that annoying British accent cut through thoughts.“I have not even been in that long!” I yelled back at him.“Well, it is been fifteen minutes already and if you are not out in the next three mi
** ** Omniscient Narrator ** **Two months later…Annabel showed up for work as usual, she was dressed in a smart white blouse and black skirt, simple yet elegant. She was carrying a black handbag that contained a few photocopies of documents, her IDs and of course her pepper spray- it is a wild city!As she arrived at the office of the receptionist, Annabel immediately felt that something was not right. The receptionist had not shown up for work, she could swear she had seen all of the worker’s cars parked outside so why was the company empty?She walked down to the elevator and she hadn’t even met a single security guard, where did everyone go?Arriving at the hallway upstairs, although silent as always, she couldn’t shrug off the feeling that something was not right, maybe Megan could explain to her what was going on. Annabel rushed to Megan’s office and knocked but there was no response, she pushed the door and it opened but Megan was not there.Anna furrowed her brows, confusio
“I am sorry, Mr. Blackwood but I cannot continue to work for you. I wish to resign from the company.” Anna replied.Mr. Blackwood couldn’t mistake this for a joke, the look on her face told her seriousness. But he was just confused, why, when and how? What brought about this?“Miss Ann, I am in no mood for jokes, let's be serious right now.” Mr. Blackwood demanded, trying his luck.Anna sighed and shook her head. “I wouldn’t joke over something like this, Mr. Blackwood. I quit, I want out.” She whispered.“And why, if I may ask?” he fired at her, trying hard to stay calm and not overreact at the moment.Anna hesitated, either she didn’t know what to say or she didn’t want to say it. “I am sorry, reasons are best known to me.” She replied in a mutter of words, looking away from him.Mr. Blackwood scratched his head and inhaled deeply, it was so difficult to stay calm at the moment, he tried hard not to lash out on her.“Is it because of what I said back in your office? I know you are n
** Anna’s POV **I was packing my personal items in a box back in the office. It wasn’t much though, just a few books, pens and a flower vase. I couldn’t help but think about the whole thing.Was I doing the right thing? I had saved up quite a few bucks to take care of my needs for a few months while I went job hunting. With my work experience, I don’t think it would be that difficult to find something decent to do.Who wouldn’t want to employ a former employee of Blackwood Precious Stones and Jewelries? This was to my advantage.Without a knock, the door was pushed open and Megan walked in, a frown on her face. I turned to her with a little smile, expecting a lecture from her.“What do you think you are doing, Anna?” she asked with a wrinkled face, curiosity etched on her face.“Did Mr. Blackwood send you to come and try to change my mind?” I asked coldly and turned my back to her.“He didn’t have to, the moment I learnt that you were leaving, I decided to come over and talk sense
** ** Omniscient Narrator ** **Maxwell Blackwood paces around in his office, work was over for the day but he couldn’t leave, he had been restless since Anna left. He tried hard to act like he didn’t care but it wasn’t working, he cared for her and he knew it.But why couldn’t he just say it? Whether or not she had reasons to leave, maybe he could have persuaded her. Why did he let his pride get in the way?Was it something he did? He doubted she was really quitting because of the conditions he had given to her at employment, but regardless of that, maybe he should have just taken off the conditions.It is not like he had used her like any of his previous Assistants, he had turned them all to literal sex toys but with Anna, he always resisted. To think that she was the only one who he despised amongst them, yet somehow they had come to form this bond and he had grown affection for her.Lately, he hadn’t even abused her in any way, except for a few mean words here and there but tha
** Anna’s POV **I was bored to death at home, it had been two weeks already since I quit my job. I had applied for a new job in over four places but I was yet to get any feedback from any of the companies. I wasn’t really worried, I could take care of myself long enough to find a job.But then I had to find a way to deal with the boredom. Too much screen time was a threat to my eyesight, I wanted to do something different today, something productive, maybe something that would make me happy.My first option was Jennifer but the daughter of Jezebel had left me behind on a road trip with her other friends, too bad I didn’t have other friends. Megan had called in a few times to see how I was faring and she even asked to know if I had a change of mind but I was way past that now, there is no going back.I like to wonder if Mr. Blackwood still thinks of me, because I can't keep him out of my head. There has been no contact between us in the past two weeks, although it still feels like
There were female clothes on the floor, trailing towards the bedroom. First was a blouse, and then a bra, and finally a skirt. I was confused, what was going on? Whose clothes were these?Slowly, with my legs literally shaking in fear, I staggered further. As I approached the bedroom, I began to hear sounds. I paused to make sure that I wasn’t imagining it; was this all in my head?“Oh shit!! Harder!” the voice had come from the bedroom, groans and moans. I could not mistake those sounds, they were sexual moans.I felt my body go cold at that moment, maybe because it was raining. “No,” I muttered and shook my head.I refused to believe it. Jimmy would not do this to me, he would never do this to me. This has to be some sort of trick or something.“Yeah! Scream like a good little bitch!” Jimmy's voice reverberated through the hallway.I felt my heart slump into my stomach, I couldn’t bear the curiosity anymore. Without knocking, I pushed the door open and barged in. I froze at the sigh
** Omniscient Narrator **The driver of the car was none other than Mr. Blackwood. “Anna, are you okay?” He asked curiously as he rushed to her. He immediately held her shoulders and turned her to face him, she was soaked in water.Annabel didn’t react, even though she was surprised to see him here; she just stood there in the rain crying. She had no idea how he was here or why, was he imagining him here or had he been stalking her all these weeks?Mr. Blackwood cupped her cheeks immediately and made her look at him, slowly wiping off the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb. “It is okay, I am here now, Ann.”“Tell me what happened, why are you crying? Who hurt you?” he asked in a sputter of words as they both got drained in the rain. There was so much pain in his eyes watching her cry, he was hurt seeing her like that.“I… I…” Annabel couldn’t make up any words as she felt choked by her own tears, she just let the tears flow down her face without holding back, she was
