I took slow steps backwards and picked up the grocery bags I left before. I continued walking backwards so I would know if he's following me.
When I was finally out of the alley, I used my my clothes to ckean my finger print off the gun before throwing it into a trashcan.After that, I ran home without looking back nor stopping to take a breather. I'll never oass through an alley anymore.*************************When I was close to my apartment, I took slow steps and watched behind me to see if someone was tailing me.When I was sure I wasn't been followed, I entered my apartment and closed my apartment door securely.I was finally able to breath properly. That was a very close call. Who would have thought that someone like that would end up being a killer.And to think I called him handsome. Like they always say, don't judge a book by it's cover."But really? Is what he said true? Did that guy actually try to kill him? Shouldn't I report this to the police? I just witnessed a murder." I wondered.No way, I can't get myself involved again. I barely managed to escape today. What if I get in trouble for reporting?"But that guy murdered an innocent man." My conscience reminded me."He wasn't really innocent. The cute guy said that the dead man tried to kill him. I should better mind my business." I tried to shake off any feeling of guilt I was feeling.The police will find out one way or another. What I need to focus on now is how I'll get a new job because there's no way I'll ever work in that company.I picked up the grocery bags and placed them on the counter. Thankfully, I was able to get them back.If not, only God knows how I'll be able to survive because I'm out of cash now. I arranged everything I bought in the fridge and proceeded to make breakfast.***********************************I burped lowly in satisfaction. Now I'm filled, I need to find a new job.I brought out my laptop and started scrolling through it. I was looking for any job opening.I was only able to find a spot at a bar as a server. I chuckled when I saw the name. 'DEVIL'S EYE CLUB' It sounded really dumb.I hesitated first before I clicked on it and read through the contents.My eyes widened when I saw the amount they pay servers."One thousand dollars a week." I almost screamed.What type of bar pays that huge amount to just servers??If they pay servers that large amount, what about the strippers??I double checked to see if the spot is really a server or a stripper. It was the same.Thankfully, I didn't need to strip or dress in nude outfits. It was just like a restaurant's job."But what if they change their mind once I get the job?" I wondered."I won't know unless I try it. Besides, I can always quit if it isn't favourable." I said to myself before applying for an interview.I filled in my details on the mail they sent me. It wasn't long before they replied. They asked me to come for an interview around 5 pm this evening.I accepted before dropping my laptop. I prayed within myself so I could get this job. It is my last hope.If not, Mrs. Martha would throw me out of this apartment. I checked the time on my phone on my screen.It's still 11 Am in the morning.I stood up from the couch and decided to take a short nap. I landed with a soft thud on the bed. It didn't take long before I drifted off to sleep.*************************~DEVIL'S EYE CLUB~Grey was scrolling through the applicants for the job opening when something caught his eyes. He smiled when he saw her name."I didn't think it would be this easy to find you Selina Cortez. The boss would be very proud." He muttered before sending her an invitation for the job interview.**************************~LATER IN THE EVENING~I took my bath and put on a new outfit consisting of a short crock top, pleated mini skirt and a pair of sneakers.I stood in front of the mirror and smiled. No one can be able to tell I'm twenty-four years old. I can easily pass as a teenager like this."Wait, is this outfit suitable?" I asked myself.Well, there isn't a dress code for a job at a bar. I packed my blonde hair into a messy bun and smiled. I'm really endowed with beauty, I can't even deny it. Too bad I can't take good care of it.I sighed and put a baseball cap over my head. I picked up a small purse and my phone. I locked the door to the apartment.Since I spent my last cash on food, I guess I'll have to walk. Thankfully, I got ready wuite early so it would only take me thirty minutes to get there.I checked the time on my phone. This is just 4:17. I brought out my ear pods and connected it to my phone before placing it in my ear.I smiled as the beat of the song started playing in my ear.**************************~DEVIL'S EYE~I stopped tiredly in front of the huge building and smiled when I saw the name of the club written at the front.Finally.I was about to enter when a rough looking guy stopped me."Do you have the club's id?" His gruff voice sounded.I think he's a guard here."No. But I'm here for the interview." I answered."Your name?" He asked again."Selina.. Selina Cortez." I replied."Follow me." He said and I obeyed.The club was some what empty. Probably because it's not yet night time.We walked for a while before he stopped in front of a closed room."Go in." He muttered before leavingI hesitated at first. It felt really weird. I had a really bad feeling about this."It's just a job interview. What could go wrong?" I wondered before knocking.There was no response so I knocked again. Still the same thing. I decided to go in like that.I entered the room cautiously. I was really dark so I decided to looked for the light switch and put on the lights.I almost stopped breathing when I saw his hazel eyes staring at me darkly."No no no.."I wanted to run out but someone locked the door from outside."Let me out!!!" I screamed in fear.He sat down calmly on his seat and watched trying my best to escape."Please let me out!!!" I screamed louder."Don't waste your voice princess. Because no one will come for you." He said with a smirk dancing on his lips.I wanted to run out but someone locked the door from outside."Let me out!!!" I screamed in fear.He sat down calmly on his seat and watched trying my best to escape."Please let me out!!!" I screamed louder."Don't waste your voice princess. Because no one will come for you." He said with a smirk dancing on his lips.I ignored him and kept banging on the door until I heard a gun cock.I turned back to face him in fear. He had a pistol pointed towards me."Wow.. It seems I finally have something that can shut you up." He said with a snicker."What do you want from me?" I asked mustering the little bit of courage I had."Are you that dense? What else would I want o t her than your life?" He asked coldly before taking long strides towards me.Conniption gripped me immediately so I did the only thing I could think of. I knelt diwn and begged."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know what made me do what I did." I clasped my hands together and pleaded for my life.He looked surprised at fi
The guards held tightly and dragged me out while I struggled to free myself from their clutches.They tied me up tightly, covered my face with a black clothe took me to a vehicle. Then they drove off.After sitting in the car for a while, I stopped struggling to free myself. The rope tied oround my wrist were too tight. The more I struggled, the mire it hurt.It wasn't long before the vehicle stopped. One of the men dragged me out of the car and placed me over his shoulders.Due to the rate at which I was bouncing on his shoulders, I guessed he was taking me somewhere.I started to here whispers. Probably from people around me."Who's she??" Someone asked."Did boss bring a prostitute home?" Another asked."Prostitute?" I wondered."I don't think so. The boss hates women. Remember?" Said one."He does? That means I'm in deep shit." I whimpered."I think she provoked him. Maybe he wants to punish her. Poor lady." I heard someone say."What idiot would ever want to offend the boss. Tha
All the workers bowed as a sign of greeting when Damian entered the mansion.He ignored them all and went to the large living room. He sat graciously on a sofa and folded his legs."Where's my guest?" He asked one of the guards that brought Selina to the mansion."She's in the master's bedroom boss. Should I bring her down here?" He asked back."No." He muttered."She must be hungry now." He thought."Grey." He called out to his right hand man."Yes boss." Grey came forward and answered with a small bow."Send a maid to serve her." Damian ordered."Who?" Grey asked in confusion."My guest of course. She can't be left starving." He muttered with a small smile.Grey stared at him in surprise. Through out the fifteen years he had worked with Damian, this was the first time he saw him smile happily."Has he been bewitched by the lady??" Grey wondered. "What are you waiting for?" Damian's voice snapped him out of his thoughts."Nothing boss.""Get going then!" Damian ordered.Grey didn't n
"Good morning boss." The servants and guards greeted as they bowed uniformly in front of Damian.They were currently assembled in the large garden located at the back of the mansion. Damian assembled them together.As usual, he didn't respond to their greetings. Instead;"I called all of you out here because I wanted to make an announcement." He stated.They stood eargerly waiting to here what he has to say."As you all know, I have a guest that's staying in this mansion with me. Ge will be here for a lkng time so, I want you all to treat her with the same respect like you treat me. Always be obedient to whatever she wants you to do." He paused to see if they were listen, then continued."Also, she can move wherever she wants except my private office and outside this mansion, unless I order you to. Also, make sure to feed her always and stop locking her in her room unless she tries to escape. Failure to abide by my laid down rules means disobedience. You know what happens when you diso
"Wow... You don't even know my name??" He asked."Why should I bother??" I asked back."I don't like the title... Don't bother just call me by my name." He said."Which is?""Damian Black."I almost spat out the food that was in my mouth."The Damian Black?? Then that means...""That's right. I'm the owner of Black and Co designers." He said smugly.What the hell?!?!?!"The same one you applied to get a job in." He said."How come? But you were the interviewer. Interviewers aren't the same as the CEOs." I said unable to hide my shock."Who told you that?" He asked in amusement."Besides that's only one of my numerous companies. Why would I, who can afford this expensive mansion and own a really large club still work under someone in a fashion company?" He boasted.Why didn't I think of that? "But...." I muttered unable to place my thoughts together. I was really perplexed.Then that means that the CEO of Black and Co designers is a murderer. How come the police nor the media knows ab
Thankfully I didn't miss my way because this mansion is really big.I locked the door behind me and laid down tiredly on the bed. This is really frustrating. I'm here, stuck in a mansion with a really undeniably hot captor that wouldn't let me go.I have no one to talk to about my predicament. Even if I do, I don't have my phone with me.Wait... I stood up from the bed and checked the pockets of my skirt but couldn't find it. I checked around the room including the drawers and the closet but it wasn't there."Wait.... I hope he didn't take it from me. There's only one way to find out." I left the room and went in search for him to question him about my missing phone.I went downstairs and headed towards the dinning hall but I couldn't find him there. Instead, I met some maids cleaning up the table.I walked towards them. They quuckly bowed in courtesy when they noticed my presence.Weird."Where's Damian?" I asked ignoring their actions.The seemed surprised and scared at my question
He was about to leave when he finally noticed my presence. He looked shocked and scared. Wait.. why was he scared when he just slaughtered a human being."Selina." I heard him call.I stared at him in fear and horror. My legs that couldn't move at first started to feel weak. My eyes felt really heavy."Selina??" He called again.Before I knew it, my body gave up and I collapsed on something warm."Quick get the doctor!!" I heard Damian say before I finally lost consciousness. ***********************Damian was able to catch her before she fell flat on the floor. He held her unconscious body in fear."Quick get the doctor." He panicked.Grey left in search of the doctor while he took her to the room.He laid her gently on the bed as he waited impatiently for the doctor to arrive. "What took you so long?" He asked angrily when Grey rushed breathlessly into the room. He was followed by a male doctor."I came as fast as I could." The doctor replied."Is she the patient?" He asked."Do I
~THE NEXT MORNING~I woke up feeling a pounding headache. I looked around and discovered that I was still in the room. I didn't even know when I slept off.I was glad that Damian wasn't in the room. I checked his side of his bed and discovered that it was cold. That only means that Damian didn't come back to the room last night.I stood up and walked lazily to the bathroom. I made sure to lock the door behind me. I didn't want any intrusion.I stood in front of the mirror and sighed. My wjole face and hair was a mess. I had dark circles under my eyes. I probably got them from crying myself to sleep last night I recalled that I haven't washed up since I was kidnapped the day before yesterday so I rinsed my face carefully with water before drying it. Then I proceeded to brush my teeth. Thankfully, there was a new tooth brush there so I used it. After that, I stripped myself off my old clothes, I can't believe I've been wearing it for two days straihht.I threw it into a basket I saw
